2(4) Factorial Design for Joint Effect of Ambient temperature and capacitor price, size and phase kVArs on line loss
(IEEE, 2014-07)In this paper a single replicate of a 24 factorial design for the joint effect of four factors-ambient temperature, capacitor price, capacitor size and capacitor phase kVArs-on line loss is presented. Each Factor has two ... -
3 dimensional characterizations of the impact damaged fiber reinforced composites
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2013-11-15)Impact damages on the composites need to be understood thoroughly for the designing, manufacturing and repairing of the aircraft composite parts. Larger diameter of the impactor can create a shallow dent on the outside, ... -
300-million-year-old soils and their implications on predicting ancient climate conditions

3D printed multifunctional low-frequency sound absorbers
(Institute of Noise Control Engineering, 2021-08-01)Cellular porous materials are an attractive choice for lightweight structural design. However, though their open porous architecture is ideally suited for multifunctional applications, their use is typically limited by the ... -
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 brain computer interface system for the improvement of cognitive and communication abilities for patients with neuromuscular disorders
(Industry, Engineering & Conference Management Systems Conference, 2021-03)More than 16 million people in the United States are living with cognitive impairment. Reports suggest that 12,000-15,000 people have amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and approximately 17 million people have cerebral palsy, ... -
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 finite difference solution for 1-D soil consolidation using Excel
(Industry, Engineering & Conference Management Systems Conference, 2020-03)Terzaghi's one-dimensional (1-D) soil consolidation equation is solved using a finite difference (FD) method and Microsoft's Excel spreadsheet. Spreadsheets are inexpensive computational tools that are readily available ... -
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 multipurpose robotic glove designed to teach sign language through guided manual motions
(Industry, Engineering & Conference Management Systems Conference, 2021-03)Projections show the numbers of deaf and deafblind individuals are quickly increasing, as both the number of deaf and blind individuals are expected to double within the next 50 years. Additionally, there is limited support ... -
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 ... -
