Provisioning task based symmetric QoS in iSCSI SAN
(Wichita State University, 2008-12)This thesis examines Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) storage architecture and introduces a framework to furnish Quality of Service (QoS) for the qualified storage traffic. The framework incorporates IO ... -
Psychophysical lifting capacity over extended periods
(Taylor & Francis, 1991-01)The effect of time on an individual's lifting capacity over extended periods using a psychophysical approach was studied. Twelve male subjects estimated their lifting capacity in a 25 min period, and then attempted to lift ... -
Psychophysically acceptable weights for a combination lifting task using bags with handles
(Human Ergology Society, 1994-12)This paper presents a study on a combination lift and lower manual handling task and was designed to simulate the loading of grocery bags into a car trunk. Twelve male subjects performed an externally paced task of lifting ... -
Publisher Correction: Revealing nitrogen-containing species in commercial catalysts used for ammonia electrosynthesis
(Springer Nature, 2021-02-22)In the version of this Analysis originally published, in Fig. 4 the second-from-bottom y-axis tick mark label was incorrect as $10^{–8}$;it should have been $10^{–10}$. This has now been corrected. -
Pulsed ferrite magnetic field generator for through-the-earth communication systems for disaster situation in mines
(Korean Magnetics Society, 2013-03)A pulsed ferrite magnetic field generator (FMFG) was designed for the use in the 1000 m long through-theearth (TTE) communication system for mining disaster situations. To miniaturize the TTE system, a ferrite core having ... -
Pursuit evasion games using collision cones
(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc., 2018-01-07)This paper presents a preliminary study into the use of collision cones in analyzing pursuit evasion games between two objects of arbitrary shapes. A two-player pursuit evasion game is considered, wherein a single pursuer ... -
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 ... -
Quality in eLearning: Perceptions of instructors
(Industry, Engineering & Conference Management Systems Conference, 2020-03)eLearning is rapidly growing and competing with traditional classroom learning. Advancements in digital technology and democratization of the internet have made eLearning more accessible, flexible, and convenient way for ... -
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, 2022-07-01)Consider a user who wishes to store a file in multiple servers such that at least t servers are needed to reconstruct the files, and z colluding servers cannot learn any information about the file. Unlike traditional models, ... -
