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 ... -
Pure bending of honeycomb core
(Wichita State University, 2022-04-15)Honeycomb core is a cellular structure consisting of hexagonal cells. Honeycomb cores are widely used because of the ability enable sandwich structures to achieve high strength and stiffness with small density. Honeycomb ... -
Reducing noise to improve robotic material recognition
(Wichita State University, 2021)Denoising Autoencoders (DAEs) are a machine learning tool used to reconstruct noisy data in a way that reduces noise, allowing artificial intelligence systems to better recognize patterns in data or images. An autoencoder ... -
Revealing palladin's role in metastasis by directly observing its influence on actin polymerization
(Wichita State University, 2021)Metastatic cancer cells sometimes break off from their point of origin and use motile structures composed of polymerized actin to travel elsewhere in the body. An actin-binding protein named palladin is often overexpressed ... -
Saving senior smiles

Security analysis of unmanned aerial vehicles
(Wichita State University, 2022)Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) find increased use in many military and commercial applications such as remote weapons, surveillance, good delivery, filmmaking, and agriculture, among others. With the proliferation of ... -
Sensor fusion for parameter estimation of an aircraft in the approach phase
(Wichita State University, 2022-04-15)Landing and takeoff are the two most critical and dangerous phases of flight. In recent years the aircraft industry has seen a stark increase in automated systems taking over both of these phases of flight, but more ... -
Set the world on FYRE: Response of arthropods to grassland fires
(Wichita State University, 2022)There is increasing effort by environmentalists to restore natural grasslands. However, most of this effort focuses solely on plants instead of other key factors that impact plants (such as animals that act as pollinators ... -
Single satellite orbit design for hurricane monitoring
(Wichita State University, 2021)Every year, numerous tropical storms form within the Gulf of Mexico. While the majority of these storms are harmless, there is a small contingent which become hurricanes and pose a serious threat to the Gulf Coast region ... -
Six-month size variation in maize starch with different glycerin concentrations
(Wichita State University, 2022-04-15)Starch granule analysis allows archaeologists to identify botanic resources utilized by ancient peoples, informing about past foodways and subsistence strategies. As a relatively new archaeometric technique, not many ... -
Sixth-sense device to detect surrounding environment using ultrasonic rangefinder
(Wichita State University, 2022-04-15)Obliviousness to unfamiliar or hazardous environments create problems for people’s safety. It is stated that in the night alone, an average of 39 percent of people in OECD countries feel unsafe. General knowledge of one’s ... -
Smart wireless, flexible hybrid electronic for fall risk monitoring
(Wichita State University, 2021-04-09)Falls give a serious public health issue among the elderly (people aged 65 years or older) since they not only cause significant inquires and even mortality, but also result in enormous costs for healthcare services. In ... -
