The benefits of magnetic/protein targeted drug delivery in treating skin cancer in-vivo

Misak, Heath Edward; Abedin, Farhana; Man, Michelle; Herring, Jennifer; Asmatulu, Ramazan; Yang, Shang-You (2012-02-16)

Skin cancer represents the most common type of cancers, and is life threatening without treatment. People with light skin, genetic diseases and high exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) are at a high risk of developing ...
A conceptual study of airfoil performance enhancements using CFD Armin Ghoddoussi

Ghoddoussi, Armin; Miller, L. Scott (2012-02-16)

A conceptual study of performance enhancing devices for an airfoil is performed using Computational Fluid Dynamics. Three simple, passive devices are examined to explore alternate methods for stall control and lift-to-drag ...
The effects of texting and driving on hazard perception and the adoption of driver response strategies

Burge, Rondell; Chaparro, Alex (2012-02-16)

Hazard perception has received little attention compared to measures of vehicular control in studies exploring the effects of texting on driving performance, despite being a more direct measure of crash risk. Twenty ...
Hospital radiology department overhead energy estimation

Valenzuela, Fernando; Twomey, Janet M.; Yildirim, Mehmet Bayram; Overcash, Michael (2012-02-16)

Efficient energy management is critical for every sector of the economy. This is true in the commercial sector which includes the healthcare industry. The focus of this study is to estimate overhead energy consumption of ...
Impact on CO2 emission due to Electric Vehicle charging and distributed wind generation

Argade, Sachin; Aravinthan, Visvakumar; Jewell, Ward T. (2012-02-16)

To reduce the greenhouse gas emission and fossil fuel dependency, electric vehicles (EV) are becoming viable options. EV charging is seen as an extra load on the electric power distribution system, and if not properly ...
Improving reading: understanding the role of working memory and ease of inference generation

Mueller, Melinda K.; Bohn-Gettler, Catherine M. (2012-02-16)

Reading scores from the National Assessment of Educational Progress showed 24% of Kansas’ fourth grade public school students were below basic reading levels. This shows there is a significant need for researchers to ...
Lorenzo D. Lewelling and Kansas’ ‘Civil’ War

Poland, Jordan A.; Price, Jay M., 1969- (2012-02-16)

Lorenzo D. Lewelling and Kansas’ “Civil” War research, will examine one of the most obscure periods in Kansas political history, the early 1890s. The paper will explore the rise of Populism, a grassroots third-party movement, ...
New progress in self-healing technology of composite wind turbine blades

Patlolla, Vamsidhar Reddy; Asmatulu, Ramazan (2012-02-16)

Wind turbine blades are subjected to external cyclic loadings, resulting in the development of micro and nanocracks, which in course of time becomes macro cracks, thus leading to fatigue and failure. The concept of ...
Unpacking the invisible problem of campus hunger: The Hunger Awareness Initiative at WSU

Le, Katie Thanh; Brand, Jack; Ballard-Reisch, Deborah (2012-02-16)

In the U.S. we often hear phrases like “starving college student” and “freshman 15” to the point that they have become clichés. How much truth lies behind these phrases? Existing data on hunger and food insecurity does not ...
Use of artificial neural networks to detect damage in composite laminates

Kral, Zachary Tyler; Horn, Walter J.; Steck, James E. (2012-02-16)

Maintenance has remained an important issue in the aerospace structures and materials field. As technologies have improved, composites have begun to replace increasingly more structural components. However, these still ...
