    • Phase 2: Oral material microbial hazard risk analysis 

      Vence, Alexia; Ruff, Micah; Nickel, Sarah M.; VanRavenhorst-Bell, Heidi A. (Wichita State University, 2023)
      It is important when diagnosing or treating Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders (OMD) to assess the patient's tongue strength and endurance. The anti-slip patch is an adhesive material that reduces slippage of the Iowa ...

    • Phonological awareness and early intervention 

      Glaser, Sharon (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 

      Kellerman, Mary Beth (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 ...

    • Porous materials for capacitive deionization 

      Alfonso, Melisa (Wichita State University, 2023-04-07)
      Highly efficient capacitive deionization (CDI) relies on unimpeded transport of salt ions to the electrode surface. Porous materials were evaluated to determine a good candidate to provide superb conditions for ion adsorption.
