4-oxocyclohexadienylidene porphyrinogen as an electrochemical anion receptor
(Wichita State University. Graduate School., 2007-04-27)Sensitive and selective detection of biologically and environmentally important anions has been a vast growing field in supramolecular chemistry [1,2]. Much research has been devoted to designing sensors that can selectively ... -
A numerical and experimental approach to characterize the failure modes of hexagonal cell honeycomb core under in-plane loading
(DEStech Publications Inc., 2017-10)In the present study, the failure modes of a hexagonal cell honeycomb core under in-plane loading are investigated. It is shown that, under tensile loading, the node bond failure and ribbon fracture are the main causes of ... -
A decision model for economic and environmental impacts of the food and biofuel competition
(Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2014-04-25)Rising demand for food and energy leads to debates about biofuel production from food crops. On the other hand, biofuels derived from lignocellulosic sources offer positive environmental impacts such as enriching degraded ... -
A field study of accuracy and speed of fast food orders when customers violate scripts
(Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2014-04-25)A hearing-impaired investigator played a customer and either followed or violated (did not follow) the standard sales script of fast food restaurants when ordering fast food during 18 lunchtime visits to nine fast food ... -
A genetic algorithm metaheuristic for bakery distribution vehicle routing problem with load balancing
(2011-05)In this paper, we analyze a distribution problem at a bakery company in Istanbul, Turkey. The bakery wants to distribute products with the available fleets of trucks, while maintaining balance in workload between different ... -
A market-driven framework towards environmentally sustainable mobile computing
(2014-06-16)Amid the plethora of initiatives and research endeavors targeting the minimization of power and energy consumption of information and communication technologies (ICT), what has been largely missing is an effort to reduce ... -
A multi-criteria approach for biomass crop selection under fuzzy environment
(2014-06-03)The type of biomass crop has a significant impact on the feasibility of ethanol production. Since biomass crop type can have various environmental and economic impacts, the selection of an optimal crop type is a multi-criteria ... -
A new transmission control protocol for active RFID networks
(2014-05-13)In this paper a new transmission control protocol named IISS for active RFID networks is proposed that utilizes the concept of scanning the network for successful and unsuccessful slots using lesser number of bits (compared ... -
A nonlinear approach for integrated marketing-economic production quantity problem
(2010-12)Pricing is a key activity in determining any firm's profit in a supply chain due to the competitive nature of markets. Consequently, modeling the relation between marketing and manufacturing departments in a manufacturing ... -
A normative study on wideband tympanometry and energy reflectance in human ears: effects of repetitive measurements
(Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2013-05-08)The hearing organ includes the outer, middle, and inner ear. The middle ear transfers sounds into the inner. Wideband energy reflectance (ER) is a new clinical procedure that assesses middle ear function. It gives information ... -
