Patterns and levels of intensity in young children with autism spectrum disorder
(Wichita State University, 2019-04-19)This study explored how young children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) use speech intensity (perceived as loudness) when they produce words and sounds during communication with clinicians and the children's parents. ... -
Pedestrian detection in a night time driving and texting task
(Wichita State University, 2015-04-07)The dangers of texting and driving have become the focal point of driving research in recent years. Most of this research has been directed at examining the dangers distracted drivers present to other motorists. However, ... -
Petrographic comparison and contrast of 290–million-year-old fluvial and deltaic
(Wichita State University, 2010-04-23)Microscopic petrography of fluvial and deltaic sandstones in the Oread Cyclothem, NE Oklahoma, links their characteristics to depositional environments. Texture and composition of 50 framework grains in each sandstone ... -
Phonological awareness and early intervention
(Wichita State University, 2014-04-08)Studies have shown that the explicit instruction of phonological awareness (PA), an individual's ability to attend to and manipulate the sound structure of a spoken word, significantly influences later literacy. Current ... -
Polymer-coated carbon nanotubes for enhanced detection of biomarkers
(Wichita State University, 2011-04-05)The objective of our study is to identify the role in arraying in creating nanostructures with nanospaces that can be leveraged for enhanced detection. The idea behind the experiment is that the nanoweb of polystyrene-coated ... -
Preparation of 2,2' - bipyrazine and 5,5' - dimethyl - 2,2'‐bipyrazine
(Wichita State University, 2008-04-25)Procedures to maximize the product yields in the preparation of the title compounds were investigated. The general preparative procedures for 2,2' - bipyrazine (bpz) and 5,5' - dimethyl - 2,2' - bipyrazine (Me2bpz) was ... -
Production of the red pigment prodigiosin in Serratia marcescens using fed-batch bioreactors
(Wichita State University, 2014-04-08)Prodigiosin is a red, linear tripyrrole compound that is produced as a secondary metabolite by several families of bacterial species including some strains of Serratia marcescens (S. Marcescens). Prodigiosin was first ... -
Program planning project
(Wichita State University, 2022-04-15)Nursing home residents frequently require partial or complete assistance in conducting activities of daily living, including oral care. They often house individuals that use oral prosthetics like removable partials and ... -
Progress towards a robust, calibration free and ultra-sensitive quantum technology-based magnetometer for fire-and-forget applications
(Wichita State University, 2021)A magnetometer, or magnetic field sensor, are used on all types of aircrafts and spacecrafts to measure magnetic field intensity. We will be using EDMR or, electrically detected magnetic resonance, to measure these magnetic ... -
Promoting children's social emotional development through classroom consultation
(Wichita State University, 2016-04-05)Setting up and executing effective interventions is important to the advancement of a classroom of children, particularly those who are at risk. The DECA-P2 was administered as a screening tool to five classrooms at community ... -
