A taxonomy of a living model of the enterprise

Whitman, Lawrence; Ramachandran, K.; Ketkar, V. (IEEE, 2001-02)

A designer has a choice of many models, methods, frameworks, and architectures. There is little consistency between these terms among researchers. Some of the most widely used architectures and frameworks are described ...
. Team decision skills development with MBTI © step II

Nazaran, Parisa; Malzahn, Don; Whitman, Lawrence E.; Saatchi, Bahareh (ASEE, 2012-06)

As part of an Engineer as Leader course, students learn to dynamically take leadership in problem solving teams when their unique skills, abilities, or knowledge can contribute to the shared objectives. Part of this ...
A toll pricing framework for networks with advanced traveler information systems

Yildirim, Mehmet Bayram; Gupta, Amit (2004)

In this paper, we propose a toll pricing framework for a stochastic multimode tra±c assignment problem. This model assumes that there are two types of users on the network: those who have information about the network ...
Torso loading via a harness method activates trunk muscles less than a hand loading method

McMulkin, Mark L.; Woldstad, Jeffrey C.; Hughes, Richard E. (Pergamon, 1998-04)

There is a need for data comparing muscle activity under equivalent moments at the torso using different loading methods. In torso biomechanics, it is often necessary to apply moments to people and then measure or predict ...
Training of ambulatory individuals with cerebral palsy

Fernandez, Jeffrey E.; Pitetti, Kenneth H. (W.B. Saunders, 1993-05)

The effect of training on the physical work capacity (PWC) and the physiological response to simulated tasks of seven ambulatory individuals with cerebral palsy (CP) were studied. Energy demand for each work task was ...
User interaction in a power-wall based virtual reality environment

Deligiannidis, L.; Whitman, Lawrence (IEEE, 2003-03-22)

The Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering Department at Wichita State University is developing an integrated set of virtual reality models of a manufacturing line of Boeing Wichita. The purpose of this research is to ...
Using Rerouting to Improve Aggregate Based Resource Allocation

Helvaci, Ali E.; Cetinkaya, Coskun; Yildirim, Mehmet Bayram (Academy Publisher, 2008-06)

This paper studies the effect of rerouting for augmenting aggregate based resource allocation in the trade-off between overhead and utilization. Aggregation is a common approach used to address the scalability issue ...
Venom variation and chemoreception of the viperid Agkistrodon contortrix: evidence for adaptation?

Greenbaum, Eli; Galeva, Nadezhda; Jorgensen, Michael J. (Springer, 2003-08)

Previous studies of chemoreceptive behavior in vipers suggest that snakes focus on the scent of envenomated tissue to track their prey following envenomation. Other studies have indicated a correlation between qualitative ...
Virtual reality: its usefulness for ergonomic analysis

Whitman, Lawrence E.; Jorgensen, Michael; Hathiyari, Kuresh; Malzahn, Don (IEEE, 2004-12)

This paper presents the results of an effort to compare results of an experiment performed in both a virtual and a real environment. The research question addressed is if virtual reality is a suitable tool for performing ...
Virtual reality mega-case throughout the curriculum

Whitman, Lawrence; Madhavan, Viswanathan; Twomey, Janet; Malzahn, Don; Krishnan, Krishna K. (IEEE, 2002)

Education will be revolutionized by the use of virtual reality. The Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering Department at Wichita State University along with industrial partners, Boeing, Cessna, Raytheon, Brittain Machine, ...
Volumes sampled for hardness and for modulus of elasticity during nanoindentation testing

Kashani, Mahdi Saket; Gilvan, Akbar Aftabi; Madhavan, Viswanathan (Cambridge University Press, 2012-06-28)

In this article, the sizes of the volumes sampled by nanoindentation tests for hardness and modulus measurements are studied using finite element simulations. The zones of influence for hardness and modulus in single-phase ...
Workload balancing in printed circuit board assembly shops

Duman, Ekrem; Yildirim, Mehmet Bayram (2005)

In assembling printed circuit boards (PCB), the use of numerically or computer controlled electronic component placement machines has become quite popular in the last decades. However, serious operations research problems ...
