  • Ethnic minorities' leisure-time physical activity in the context of acculturation

    Creator:
    Lee, Hyo
    Abstract:
    Eliminating physical activity disparities among ethnic minorities in the U.S. is important. Cultural differences have been found to be plausible contributing factors associated with such disparities. Therefore it is important to investigate and understand the mechanisms by which diverse aspects of cultural experiences affect physical activity participation among ethnic minorities,...

  • Life course perspective : a journey of participation in physical activity

    Creator:
    Li, Kin-Kit
    Abstract:
    A life course perspective provide a meta-theoretical framework to understand human development. This perspective is characterized by studying the changing lives within the changing environment (George, 2004). Building upon the literature in the psychosocial paradigm and ecological models, Manuscript 1 discusses the uniqueness and the practical importance of a life...

  • Kinesiology’s Knowledge Production, Mass Translation, and Utilization Problem: Critical Appraisal and Theoretical Analysis of Physical Activity Websites

    Creator:
    Thomas, Jafra D.
    Abstract:
    Through this dissertation, the quality of freely available physical activity promotion web articles that lay adults would likely locate online was critically appraised and theoretically analyzed. Three broad categories were considered. They were 1) message consistency with national health guidelines for physical activity; 2) suitability for health-related communication; and 3)...

  • Using a Geographic Information System to identify and reduce uncertainty in hydroelectric-site inventories

    Creator:
    Ellison, Bradley A.
    Abstract:
    Power planning efforts in Oregon require accurate information about hydroelectric potential. Potential uses for Geographic Information Systems (GISs) are being investigated by three Oregon planning agencies. This paper presents a method in which a 616 is used to help identify and reduce uncertainty in previous hydroelectric inventories. Uncertainty with respect...

  • Trailing Edge Flap Optimization for an Upper-Surface Blown Aircraft Wing

    Creator:
    Kelly, Bryan R.
    Abstract:
    Integrated Distributed Electric Augmented Lift (IDEAL) applies upper surface blowing in a novel way to achieve electric short take-off and landing to meet the growing need for urban air transportation. Additional research on propulsion airframe interaction (PAI) with trailing edge flaps at low Reynolds numbers was necessary to advance the...

  • A Diels-Alder approach to biaryl synthesis

    Creator:
    Ashburn, Bradley O.
    Abstract:
    An expedient approach to the synthesis of a wide range of highly programmable biaryl templates has been accomplished. Utilizing the Diels-Alder [4+2] cycloaddition, a wide range of tri- and tetra-ortho-substituted biaryls have been synthesized in only three to four steps from commercially available materials. We have successfully synthesized entire classes...

  • The Design of a High-Vacuum Chamber Testing Environment

    Creator:
    Robinson, Kimbert J.
    Abstract:
    The intention of this undergraduate research project was to design and build a fully functional high-vacuum chamber testing environment for use in the development of ion propulsion engines. This project was conducted in an effort to aid ongoing projects between the Deep Space Propulsion Group (DSPG) at Oregon State University...

  • Design of Ion Thruster Optics Simulator and a Neural Network Emulator

    Creator:
    Sable, Shital Dnyandeo
    Abstract:
    The grid geometry plays a vital role in the performance of gridded ion thrusters. It can dramatically impact the erosion rate and thrust. Designers push the limits of electric in-space propulsion by optimizing grid parameters through simulation. At the same time, computational models of plasma physics are intensive. A baseline...

  • Girlhood reimagined : representations of girlhood in the films of Hayao Miyazaki

    Creator:
    Sabine, Karissa N.
    Abstract:
    Despite the now common usage of the term “girl”, there has been little call for pause and deeper analysis into what we actually mean when we use this term. In particular, animated film provides a wide scope of media texts that claim to focus on girlhood; but how do we...

    Wojtas, Miriam
    Abstract:
    A recipe as a piece of text can tell a variety of stories as well as any other. Using a feminist rhetorical analysis, I read my grandmother’s personal recipe journal to show that her writings contain valuable information about women’s lives in twentieth century Poland. Through the close examination of...
