QAcon: single model quality assessment using protein structural and contact information with machine learning techniques
(Oxford University Press, 2017-02-15)Motivation: Protein model quality assessment (QA) plays a very important role in protein structure prediction. It can be divided into two groups of methods: single model and consensus QA method. The consensus QA methods ... -
QoS-aware adaptive routing in multi-layer hierarchical software defined networks: a reinforcement learning approach
(IEEE, 2016)Software-defined networks (SDNs) have been recognized as the next-generation networking paradigm that decouples the data forwarding from the centralized control. To realize the merits of dedicated QoS provisioning and fast ... -
A QoS-based broadcast protocol under blind information for multihop cognitive radio ad hoc networks
(IEEE, 2014-03)Broadcasting is an important operation in wireless networks where control information is usually propagated as broadcasts for the realization of most networking protocols. In traditional ad hoc networks, broadcasts are ... -
Qualification of advanced composite pipe for use in fire water deluge systems on open type offshore oil platforms
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1996-07)Different types of FIBERBOND pipe in the dry condition and with a butt & strap joint were subjected to a controlled fire for fire endurance evaluation. Testing adheres to a modification of the ASTM 1173-95 guideline, which ... -

A quality-aware multi-level data aggregation approach to manage smart grid AMI traffic
(IEEE, 2019-02-01)The inclusion of various intelligent electronic devices such as smart meters for AMI is expected to result in intermittent or frequent communications network congestion if additional network infrastructure investments are ... -
Quandry translation engineering
(Wichita State University, 2014-05)This dissertation provides a complex adaptive system approach to propose effective problem definitions for problems that are hard to formulate, include conflicting opinions of stakeholders, and have hard to differentiate ... -
Quantification of economic and environmental benefits for predictive wind farm operation and maintenance -- Restricted access to full text
(Wichita State University. Graduate School., 2012-04-18)Maintaining wind turbines in top operating condition ensures not only a continuous revenue generation but a reduction in electric power drawn from non-renewable and more polluting sources. Tremendous advances in high ... -
Quantifying the cost of privately storing data in distributed storage systems
(IEEE, 2022-07-21)Consider a user who wishes to store a file in multiple servers such that at least t servers are needed to reconstruct the file, and z colluding servers cannot learn any information about the file. Unlike traditional ... -

Quantifying the profit in crossbreeding beef cattle species
(Wichita State University, 2019-05)Beef cattle are an important part of everyday life for many Americans. This is why it is important that beef cattle producers are able to maximize their profits. One way they can do that is by using the proper crossbreed. ... -
Quantitative analysis of enhanced mobile IP
(2006-06)As the popularity of mobile computing grows, the associated protocols and their scalability are subject to much closer scrutiny. Mobile IP relies heavily on the use of IP-to-IP tunneling, requiring 20 bytes of overhead ... -
Quantitative analysis of frame inter-arrival times in saturated ad hoc networks
(Wichita State University, 2011-05)Medium Access Control (MAC) delays increase the frame inter-arrival time on the destination node in saturated ad hoc networks. With the increase in the network size more and more nodes contend for the medium which increases ... -
