A combination of classical and multi-modal approaches to teaching human anatomy
(Wichita State University, 2016-04-29)The model for teaching human anatomy through traditional lecture and lab must be re-examined. Cadaver lab maintenance is costly and although medical knowledge grows exponentially, allotted lecture time is declining. A ... -
A comparative study of time and energy savings due to near field communication technology
(Wichita State University, 2016-04-29)The popularity and demand for the Near Field Communication (NFC) applications are rapidly growing in the recent years. NFC technology helps transfer data by bringing two smart devices closer (5-10 cm). Many important ... -
A directory based hybrid cache update strategy to reduce memory latency of shared memory multiprocessors
(Wichita State University, 2016-04-29)Multiple cores with a shared memory on a single-chip provide an excellent architecture to achieve fast computation. However, shared memory multiprocessors with typical write update and write invalidate strategies suffer ... -
A dynamic heads-up air traffic locator & collision advisory display using Google Glass
(Wichita State University, 2016-04-29)A heads-up display designed to assist pilots in the rapid location and identification of air traffic is developed and evaluated on Google Glass. The display is conceived as a proposed addition to a Traffic Collision Avoidance ... -
A framework for pediatrics clinic no-show prediction using elastic net and Bayesian Belief Network
(Wichita State University, 2016-04-29)No-Shows not only creates additional cost for healthcare facilities but also affect the quality of care for the patients. This study predicts the no-show probability of the patient with using demographic, social and ... -
A line-by-line data accountability framework to enhance security of cloud
(Wichita State University, 2016-04-29)Cloud technology provides the convenience of access to data from anywhere in a time- and cost-effective manner. Due to the recent security breaches, users' fear of losing control of their own data has increased. Data-security ... -
A novel approach to program assessment
(Wichita State University, 2016-04-29)Effective academic program review and quality improvement initiatives begin with a robust, systematic evaluation process. Integrating qualitative and quantitative data in program evaluation can yield insights that neither ... -
A promising MALAB assisted image segmentation for detecting breast cancer
(Wichita State University, 2016-04-29)Breast cancer is the most common cancer among American women; about 1 in 8 (12%) women in the U.S. will develop invasive breast cancer during their lifetime; and more dangerously, breast cancer is the second leading cause ... -
A semantic knowledge engine using automated knowledge extraction from World Wide Web
(Wichita State University, 2016-04-29)It becomes extremely difficult for the existing search engines (such as Google) to crawl, index, rank, and manage huge amount of data and locate information while answering questions. Semantic web technology (such as Google ... -
A support vector machine approach to identification of proteins relevant to learning in a mouse model of Down Syndrome
(Wichita State University, 2016-04-29)The drug memantine has been shown to improve learning ability in a Down Syndrome model of mice (Ts65Dn) exposed to Context Fear Conditioning (CFC), an existing technique for measuring the learning ability of normal mice ... -
A year of pediatric prevention
(Wichita State University, 2016-04-29)Unintentional injury remains the leading cause of death in children under 18 years of age in the United States. From 2003 to 2013, 93,941 unintentional deaths occurred in the pediatric population, not including the additional ... -
Acuity-based nurse-staffing strategies for inpatient settings using a stochastic modeling approach
(Wichita State University, 2016-04-29)The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) projects a deficit of 36 percent of registered nurses nationwide by 2020. The national nurse shortage along with rising patient acuity levels have led to an increase ... -
Adsorption thermal diode using nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulation
(Wichita State University, 2016-04-29)The development of thermal diodes (heat transfer preferentially in one direction) is of great interest for advanced thermal and energy applications. However, their performance is limited due to the poor thermal rectification ... -
Analyzing the trade-off between radiotherapy treatment quality and efficiency
(Wichita State University, 2016-04-29)Radiotherapy is one of the main treatment modalities for cancer in which high-energy radiation beams are used to eradicate cancer cells. One of the major issues in radiotherapy treatment planning is to find the desired ... -
Assistance to immune system by genetically engineered bacteria: Molecular communication
(Wichita State University, 2016-04-29)Molecular communication (MC) is a communication between bio transmitters (that emit molecules carrying information) and bio receivers. The use of such a communication method also involving genetically engineered bacteria ... -
Balance capacity of age matched male and female adolescents with intellectual disabilities
(Wichita State University, 2016-04-29)Sex specific norms for motor skills have been established to insure that normal differences in motor development between sexes are not interpreted as motor impairment. Although sex specific norms for gross motor skills of ... -
