Beyond Annie Oakley: an analysis of TV's portrayal of markswomen
No full textThird Place winner of oral presentations at the 8th Annual Symposium on Graduate Research and Scholarly Projects (GRASP) held at the Marcus Welcome Center, Wichita State University, April 18, 2012.Research completed at the Elliott School of Communication, Fairmount College of Liberal Arts & SciencesMedia portrayals influence how women are perceived in society. Historically, women have often been chastised or punished for exhibiting skills and attributes which have been traditionally perceived as appropriate for men and therefore, inappropriate for women. Currently, some reality television series seem open to portraying women in roles which have historically been considered inappropriate for them. The purpose of this study was threefold: to discern whether the History Channel's television series Top Shot provides a sexist representation of either gender, to determine whether casting is gender-biased when compared with ratios of marksmanship in the Military, Hunting, Law Enforcement, Exhibition, and Competition sectors, and to assess whether marks-woman are marginalized based on their gender. This study finds that the series provides a slightly sexist representation of marks-woman, that casting appears gender-biased, and that fan opinions reflect a difference in the treatment of female and male contestants.Graduate School,

Starving college students: an examination of the cliché
No full textPaper presented to the 9th Annual Symposium on Graduate Research and Scholarly Projects (GRASP) held at the Marcus Welcome Center, Wichita State University, May 8, 2013.Research completed at the Elliott School of Communication, College of Liberal Arts and SciencesMany have heard the phrase "starving college student." This paper answers the question - are college students really hungry? And if so, what is the nature and the scope of the issue on Wichita State University's campus? Through the use of both quantitative and qualitative research methods, this paper takes a comprehensive route to address an issue that has previously been mostly absent from the body of scholarly literature. Additionally, this paper explores the possibility of solutions which may be applicable in a local context.The Graduate School, Academic Affairs, and University Librarie

No full textEvaluating in-person and online video teaching methods to introduce landscape equipment operation and safety and responses of ornamental groundcovers and turfgrass species to drought stress
No full textMaster of ScienceDepartment of Horticulture and Natural ResourcesJacob C. DomenghiniUniversities are adapting their teaching methods to progress with changes in technology. With these shifts in teaching, educators are interested in which methods are best for certain applications. A study was conducted to determine the efficacy of online vs. traditional hands-on learning with eight types of landscape equipment: power hedge trimmer, rotary push mower, de-thatcher, overseeder, ride-on zero-turn mower, sod cutter, string trimmer, and core aerifier. Results showed that students learn landscape equipment better in-person through hands-on learning, rather than relying only on videos. The survey also showed students prefer hands-on demonstrations to become more comfortable operating these pieces of equipment.
Water use in the landscape has become a more prevalent issue as the demand increases for more residential and commercial areas to be irrigated. This increase in water use indicates a need for drought tolerant plant species. We analyzed six ground cover species (Dianthus caryophyllus, Lysimachia nummularia, Phlox subulata, Sedum album, Stachys byzantina, and Vinca major) and three turfgrass species (Bouteloua dactyloides, Festuca arundinacea, and Poa pratensis) to evaluate their performance during drought and recovery. Results show S. album performed the best lasting an average of 157 d until reaching a visual quality rating of one. S. byzantina, B. dactyloides, V. major, D. Caryophyllus also performed well averaging 92, 51, 46, and 40 d, respectively, to a visual quality of one. P. subulata, P. pratensis, F. arundinacea, and L. nummularia performed the worst, averaging 35 d to decline to a visual quality rating of one. Following the dry down, the 60-d recovery period showed the following species recovered: B. dactyloides [58% Percent Green Cover (PGC)], F. arundinacea (45% PGC), L. nummularia (14% PGC), S. album (11% PGC), P. pratensis (10% PGC), and V. major (5% PGC)

Manhattan and maximum metrics in school geometry tasks
No full textsummary:Cílem článku je představit sérii úloh, v nichž mají žáci za úkol najít de facto množiny bodů dané vlastnosti v rovině, pracují však se vzdálenostmi na principu manhattanské či maximové metriky. Úlohy jsou vhodné již pro žáky základních škol, jejich gradací však lze tvořit úlohy vhodné i pro žáky starší. V článku je také připomenuta potřebná matematická teorie, kterou sice žáci k řešení úloh znát nemusí, avšak pedagog by s ní měl být obeznámen.summary:The aim of the article is to present a series of problems in which pupils are tasked with finding de facto loci of points in a plane, but, they work with distances according to the Manhattan or maximum metric principles. The problems are suitable for primary school pupils, but by increasing their difficulty, they can be solved by older pupils. The article also mentions the necessary mathematical theory, which the pupils do not need to know in order to solve the problems, however, the teacher should be familiarised with
FORMATION, RELAXATION AND QUENCHING OF XeF, KrF AND XeCℓ
No full textLa relaxation réactive des deux premiers niveaux excités des atomes de gaz rares, Rg(np5 n+1 s, 3P2 et 3P1), par les halogènes produit des molécules d'halogénure de gaz rares dans les états B et C, avec des distributions vibrationnelles développées. L'interprétation des spectres d'émission liés-dissociatifs permets la détermination des distributions initiales. Des collisions entre des molécules d'halogénure de gaz rares et les atomes He, Ne et Ar, du gaz tampon produisent des transferts entre les états B et C et une relaxation vibrationnelle. Pour les niveaux de v élevé, la réaction de transfert est plus rapide que la relaxation vibrationnelle, mais pour les niveaux de v faible c'est l'inverse. Ceci peut conduire à une distribution vibrationnelle de Boltzmann à 300 K mais avec une distribution hors d'équilibre pour les états électroniques des niveaux B et C de la molécule d'halogénure de gaz rares. La modélisation de la variation des distributions électronique et vibrationnelle de l'halogénure de gaz rares avec la pression donne une vue état par état des processus de relaxation. La photodissociation de XeF2 produit XeF(B) dans les bas niveaux v. Observation de l'intensité d'émission, en régime stationnaire, à partir des niveaux XeF(B) et XeF(C) peuplés par la photodissociation de XeF2, en présence de réactants additionnels permets la séparation des constantes de vitesse pour le transfert B-C et pour le quenching de XeF(B) et XeF(C) avec une distribution vibrationnelle à 300 K. Les deux expériences, relaxation réactive et photodissociation, indiquent que pour XeF, XeCl et KrF l'état (C, Ω = 3/2) est situé au-dessous de l'état (B, Ω = 1/2). Ceci a une importante implication pour l'utilisation des halogénures de gaz rares pour les lasers à puissance.Reactive quenching of the first two excited states of rare gas atoms, Rg(np5 n+1 s, 3P2 and 3P1), by halogens yields rare gas halide molecules in the B and C states and with high vibrational distributions. Interpretation of the bound-free emission spectra permits assignment of the initial distributions. Subsequent collisions of the rare gas halide molecules with He, Ne and Ar bath gas atoms result in transfer between the B and C states and vibrational relaxation. For high v levels the transfer rate is faster than vibrational relaxation, but the reverse holds for lower v levels. This can lead to a 300 K Boltzmann vibrational distribution but a nonequilibrium electronic state distribution of rare gas halide molecules in the B and C states. Modeling of the variation of the rare gas halide electronic and vibrational distributions with pressure gives a state-to-state view of relaxation processes. Photolytic dissociation of XeF2 yields XeF(B) in low v levels. Observation of the steady-state emission intensity from XeF(B), and XeF(C) from photodissociation in the presence of added reagents permits assignment of rate constants for B-C transfer and for quenching of XeF(B) and XeF(C) with 300 K Boltzmann vibrational distributions. Both the reactive quenching and photodissociation experiments indicate that the (C, Ω = 3/2) state is lower in energy than the (B, Ω = 1/2) state for XeF, XeCl and KrF. This has important implications for utilization of rare gas halide molecules for high power lasers
