Use of SPH and Lagrangian meshing technique to assess damage area in bumper shields impacted by hypervelocity space debris
(2007-05)Space debris are objects in Earth’s orbit consisting of fragments of spent rocket stages, non-functional satellites, and parts like fasteners, paint chips and other waste materials in the lower earth orbits (LEO) (200 – ... -
User interaction in a power-wall based virtual reality environment
(IEEE, 2003-03-22)The Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering Department at Wichita State University is developing an integrated set of virtual reality models of a manufacturing line of Boeing Wichita. The purpose of this research is to ... -
User privacy enhancement in modern web applications
(IEEE, 2015)It has been shown recently that a vast majority of modern web applications are prone to compromising privacy of online activity of their users due to the applications' vulnerability to analysis of unique network traffic ... -
User selection with perfect and no primary CSIT in MIMO cognitive radio networks
(Wichita State University, 2014-12)Spectrum is one of the most precious resources in the field of wireless communication field. As the number of users and demand for fast data transmission increases, the current spectrum resources become insufficient. ... -
Using a value stream map to assess environmental impacts
(Wichita State University, 2009-12)In today's competitive world, companies focus on eliminating wastes to increase their profit, growth and ensure customer satisfaction. Among the known wastes, environmental wastes are typically the least considered. ... -
Using decoy documents to detect masquerade attacks
(Wichita State University, 2021-05)Privacy, security and integrity of data are becoming ever more important in a connected world. While every effort is being made to keep cyber criminals away from sensitive information, sometimes they succeed in bypassing ... -
Using developer-interaction trails to triage change requests
(IEEE, 2015)The paper presents an approach, namely iHDev, to recommend developers who are most likely to implement incoming change requests. The basic premise of iHDev is that the developers who interacted with the source code relevant ... -
Using graphene in coating materials to prevent UV degradation on advanced composite materials
