  • “Punk is Caring”: Art, Music, and Embodiment in the Pacific Northwest Punk Scene

    Creator:
    Weiss, Jules S.
    Abstract:
    In this paper I discuss an ethnographic research project on identity embodiment among transgender and gender nonconforming punks in the Pacific Northwest region of the U.S., with focus on the relationship between transgender/gender nonconforming identity and affiliation to DIY punk communities. Trans punks create a unique, hybridized subculture-based identity embodiment...

  • The role of zinc in the molecular and cellular events in the prostate

    Creator:
    Yan, Michelle
    Abstract:
    Zinc is an essential mineral that is integral to many proteins and transcription factors that regulate key cellular functions. The normal prostate accumulates high concentrations of zinc; however, malignant tissues have significantly lower zinc levels. This unique relationship between zinc and the prostate has sparked interest in the role of...

  • Aggregate Path Coupling for the Generalized Curie-Weiss Model

    Creator:
    Barbosa, Bruno
    Abstract:
    The topic of statistical mechanics has been studied for over a century, and it is one of the pillars of modern physics. This theory can be applied to the study of the thermodynamic behavior of large systems of interacting particles, in which case it is referred to as equilibrium statistical...

  • Friends and family assignments : one strategy for connecting the classroom with the real world

    Creator:
    Crowl, Michele M.
    Abstract:
    This study addressed the following question: "How does facilitating informal explorations with friends and family outside of a science course help students who are enrolled in the course?" The context was a physics course for prospective elementary and middle school teachers. This was a qualitative study that analyzed student responses...

  • She is Somebody: The Care and Labor of Undocu/DACAmented Mothers

    Creator:
    Hurtado Moreno, Argenis
    Abstract:
    This thesis is an offering, request, testimonio, refusal, and compliance to the discipline of anthropology and higher education. In this thesis, I engage with different forms of storytelling to highlight the relationships of mixed-status families in the United States. To accomplish this, I draw on the experiences of my mother...

  • Efficacy of the Wellness Focused “Be Orange Challenge” with Tracking to Promote Healthy Behavior Change

    Creator:
    Miller, Aimee S.
    Abstract:
    Purpose: Many programs are available to engage people in health-promoting behaviors or behavior change, but most target specific behavior outcomes (e.g., weight loss, smoking cessation) rather than wellness. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a tracking-based health challenge focused on overall wellness, with or without peer support. Methods:...

  • Spectral Analysis of Upper Ocean Surface Wave Structure using χSOLO Floats in the Bay of Bengal

    Creator:
    Ball, Matthew S.
    Abstract:
    Surface waves play a vital role in air-sea interactions, and being able to easily measure them in-situ validates and improves predictive models. Here, we diagnose surface wave properties in the Bay of Bengal using modified vertical SOLO II profiling floats, which are regularly used as part of the Argo ocean...

  • The Pozzolanic Reactivity Test and the Properties of Portland Limestone Cement

    Creator:
    Choudhary, Antara
    Abstract:
    The pozzolanic reactivity test (PRT) is used to quantify the pozzolanic reactivity of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs). The PRT computes reactivity by measuring heat release (Q) and calcium hydroxide (CH) consumption, as interpreted using thermodynamic modeling. The robustness of PRT is examined by experimentally varying CH-to-SCM ratio, solution-to-solid ratio, sulfate...

  • Toward a mixture design methodology for internally cured concrete that considers filling specific pore sizes caused by self-desiccation

    Creator:
    Montanari, Luca
    Abstract:
    Internal curing is a term used to describe a process in which curing water is provided to a concrete mixture from inside the mixture. Internal curing water has typically been provided in North America mixtures by using prewetted porous materials, like fine lightweight aggregate (FLWA). Alternative materials, such as superabsorbent...

    Creator:
    Bellis, Emily S.
    Abstract:
    Mutualistic associations between corals and symbiotic microalgae of the genus Symbiodium power tropical reef ecosystems, hotspots of marine biodiversity that buffer coastlines, support tourism- and fisheries-based economies, and offer untapped potential for discovery of novel pharmaceutical compounds. However, reef ecosystems are declining at an alarming rate, in large part due...
