A pair of stationary stochastic processes with application to Wichita temperature data

Li, Qi (Wichita State University, 2010-08)

The thesis investigates a pair of stationary stochastic process models whose domains are the set of integers and the set of real numbers respectively. The stationary processes with our specific correlation functions ...
Paradox and philosophical anticipation in Melville’s Moby-Dick

Ott, Sara (Wichita State University, 2006-05)

Much of the current critical literature on Moby-Dick lacks a unifying focus. This essay attempts to provide a thread of continuity for Moby-Dick by proving that paradox and Herman Melville’s anticipation of the early ...
Parallelization and optimization of higher-order Finite-difference methods utilizing MPI

Irvin, Lance J. (Wichita State University, 2010-12)

Parallelization of computational models is key to utilizing the widely available computational resources of today to solve problems in ways the computational science community could not yesterday. The main focus of the ...
Parallel-machine scheduling with load-balancing and sequence-dependent setups

Senniappan, Karthikeyan (2006-12)

In many practical manufacturing environments, setups consume a significant amount of industrial resources. Therefore, reducing setups in a non-identical parallel machine environment will significantly enhance a company's ...
Parametric exploration of wing-body junction flow using computational fluid dynamics

Hinson, Bryan C. (Wichita State University, 2012-12)

In this thesis, wing-body junction flow is studied parametrically using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in an attempt to understand the effects of junction flow on aircraft drag, with a focus on application to large ...
Parametric study of energy absorption characteristics of a rectangular aluminum tube wrapped with e-glass/epoxy

Chathbai, Ashokanand (2007-05)

Analysis of crashworthy structures has been a primary area of interest for many researchers for quite a few years now. The quest for a better energy absorbing structure ora better crashworthy structure has led researchers ...
Parametric study of head paths and HIC data for aircraft seat and cabin interior certification

Prabhu, Ghanashyam (2006-12)

Head Injury is one of the main reasons causing fatalities in air crashes. In the year 2005, of the total 3448 accidents reported in U.S. general and civil aviation, 655 have been fatal with a total of 1150 on-board fatalities. ...
Parametric study of load transfer in two-bolted single lap hybrid (bonded/bolted) shear joints

Ganji, Nagesh (2007-05)

A composite material can be defined as two or more materials combined to form another material with enhanced properties. A composite material shows high strength to weight ratio, light weight, tailored properties, high ...
Parametric study of low velocity impact analysis on composite tubes

Chib, Amit (2006-05)

As explicit finite element codes improve and advanced material models become available, such tools find more widespread application in many industries. This thesis reports the research study of the low velocity impact ...
Parametric study of stress concentration in bolted lap joints between particulate metal matrix composite materials

Katepalli, Nagababu (2006-12)

A composite is defined as a material that constitutes of at least two constituents, which are bonded together along the interface in the composite. Metal Matrix Composite (MMC) is a composite material in which one constituent ...
Parametric study of stress concentration of single and double bolted lap joints between adhesive bonded aluminum laminates

Vinnakota, Lakshman (Wichita State University, 2011-07)

In the distant past, adhesive materials were considered to be a kind of mere glue. But today adhesive materials are used extensively in the field of manufacturing because of the good properties they exhibit. Adhesive bonded ...
Passenger safety in real-life crash scenarios of mass transit buses

Thokade, Sujeet S. (Wichita State University, 2007-12)

Buses and coaches form a vital part of the national as well as city public transportation network. Buses are still one of the safest modes of transportation. Nevertheless, bus accidents resulting in passenger injuries and ...
Patriarch, monk and empress :a Byzantine debate over icons

Doom, Erin Michael (2005-12)

The roots of the Byzantine debate over icons can be traced back to the Christian Church’s very inception. Indeed, an underlying current of iconoclasm manifested itself repeatedly over the centuries but did not erupt into ...
Patterns of long bone growth and dental eruption and the estimation of age in juvenile skeletal remains

Soltis, Joanna Marie (Wichita State University, 2010-12)

This study incorporates data from a European archaeological cemetery site. Two select published standards for estimating age by documented long bone length, dental formation and eruption have been reviewed. Research was ...
Performance analysis and implementation of object based storage

Maddi, Ashish (Wichita State University, 2009-08)

iSCSI (SCSI over IP) is used to implement storage area network (SAN) technologies (ex SCSI) over TCP/IP. In traditional implementations, iSCSI has been implemented using the block level storage. This paper emphasizes on ...
Performance analysis and modeling of FCIP san traffic in mixed priority IP traffics

Wonta, Yonatan (Wichita State University, 2012-07)

Fibre Channel (FC) is a high-speed data transfer technology used in communication between storage subsystems and computing devices commonly called Storage Area Networks (SAN). A Fibre Channel over TCP/IP enables the ...
