Analysis of elemental concentration and spectral biomarkers in ischemic muscle of patients with peripheral artery disease
(Wichita State University, 2015-07)Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a chronic progressive narrowing of the arterial lumen due to atherosclerosis (fat, plaque deposition and hardening of arterial walls), which affects approximately 8 million lives in the ... -
Assessing the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) Threshold Limit Values (TLV): lifting beyond 30 degrees torso asymmetry
(Wichita State University, 2016-07)Dynamic lifting jobs result in a risk of low back disorders (LBDs) higher than any other industrial jobs. There are several ergonomics lifting assessment methods used to evaluate OLBD risk in the lifting jobs. The American ... -
Biocompatibility and biofunctionality evaluations of metallic scaffolds for bone tissue engineering
(Wichita State University, 2015-12)Bone grafting has been widely and successfully used in biomedical fields. Current methods of bone grafting that have been used in medical fields are autografting, allografting, and xenografting but there is a limitation ... -
Evolving design model synchronization for system health management using Laplace approximation
(Wichita State University, 2015-05)Lifecycle health management plays an increasingly important role in realizing resilience of aging complex engineered systems since it detects, diagnoses, and predicts system-wide effects of adverse events, therefore enables ... -

Musculoskeletal biomechanics of human rolling
(Wichita State University, 2015-12)Rolling in the bed is an essential and complex activity of daily living. A reduction in rolling variability may reduce the complexity and aid our understanding of human rolling. The goal of this study was to find the ... -
Patient specific fluid structure interaction (FSI) modeling: Anticipating the growth of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) by considering the effects of hypertension and aorta wall material properties with intraluminal thrombus (ILT)
(Wichita State University, 2015-07)An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) occurs when there is a bulge formed in the large blood vessels that supply blood to the abdomen, pelvis, and legs. Abdominal aortic aneurysms pose a serious risk of rupture and can be ... -
The intersection of energy, healthcare and climate
(Wichita State University, 2015-05)The reduction of energy use in hospitals as energy intensive units is critical to the overall goals of lowering the cost of healthcare and emissions from those facilities. Hence, the assessment and identification of key ... -
Tool rake face temperature distribution by near infrared thermography
(Wichita State University, 2015-12)This thesis is concerned with experimentally obtained full field temperature distributions at the interface between chip and tool - the tool rake face - for the machining of Ti6Al4V and Inconel 718. As part of the work ...
