Adding game-like elements to an armored vehicle recognition training
(Wichita State University, 2015-02-15)Fratricide, or friendly-fire accidents, account for an overwhelming number of casualties during military operations. Gadsden and Outteridge (2006) examined the varying causes of fratricide across the reported incidents. ... -
Emergent literacy: A look at how preschoolers begin to develop spelling skills
(Wichita State University, 2015-02-15)Reading and spelling success in school relies on early phonological development. Much is known about emergent reading during preschool years, but less is known about spelling, the "hard copy" of phonological processing. ... -
Synthetic models for the active site of the nickel superoxide dismutase enzyme (NiSOD)
(Wichita State University, 2015-02-15)The superoxide molecule is an inevitable byproduct of aerobic respiration, which is the process by which nutrients are converted into useful energy in cells. If not regulated, superoxide causes significant cellular damage, ... -
S.N.A.P. gap
(Wichita State University, 2015-02-15)Childhood hunger is a health issue prevalent among children throughout the United States. Many families who live at or below the poverty level enroll and participate in programs to reduce the effects of hunger. The ... -
Characterization of ischemic muscle of peripheral artery disease patients by elemental concentration using energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy
(Wichita State University, 2015-02-15)Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is characterized by atherosclerotic blockages of the arteries supplying blood to lower extremities and affects approximately 10 million lives in the United States. Functional testing, such ... -
Healthcare asset replacement problem under technological change and deterioration
(Wichita State University, 2015-02-15)In this study, we study the multiple style and type parallel asset replacement problem (MUST- PRES), which determines an optimal policy for keeping or replacing a group of assets that operate in parallel under a limited ... -
Healthcare delivery and political campaign planning with limited resources: An optimization approach
(Wichita State University, 2015-02-15)In this paper, a mathematical model is developed to address two problems. The first problem is on healthcare delivery planning in which the objective is to diagnose and treat as many patients as possible by determining the ... -
Nurse staffing for inpatient settings using a stochastic modeling approach
(Wichita State University, 2015-02-15)Consistent evidence from observational studies suggests that inadequate nurse staffing in hospitals and heavy nurse workload threaten patient safety and quality of care. Every additional registered nurse per patient is ... -
Methods for the optimizing trajectories of all-electric satellites for multiple variables and launch conditions
(Wichita State University, 2015-02-15)With the current shift from chemical to all electric thrusters and satellites that is currently being undertaken in the space industry, the state of Kansas is set in a prime position to benefit greatly as new technologies ... -
Automatic talk back and exoskeleton system using brain neural computer interface for ALS patients
(Wichita State University, 2015-02-15)We propose an effective model for ALS patients to enhance their mobility and to increase the possibilities of interaction such as talking and sending an email. The model additionally caters to their everyday requirements ...
