Design and synthesis of bismuth sulfide and exploring its application as a photo electrodematerial in third generation solar cells
(Wichita State University, 3/29/2022)Solar energy has become one of the major sources of renewable energy and is a viable economic option in areas which receive a large amount of sunlight around the year, such as the state of Kansas. However, it currently ... -
Neural network assisted trajectory planning for space missions
(Wichita State University, 3/29/2022)A critical aspect of space mission analysis is spacecraft trajectory optimization, which is a challenging problem involving nonlinear dynamics, multiple phases, nonconvex objectives, and complex constraints. State-of-the-art ... -
The relationship between preference and performance using three passive exoskeletons during simulated aircraft manufacturing tasks
(Wichita State University, 3/29/2022)Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) are the top workplace risk factors that impact the health of workers. In Kansas, there were 45,253 reported injuries/illnesses during the 2020 fiscal year. The main contributors ... -
Dependence of proline isomerization on the kinetics of folding of anthrax lethal factor
(Wichita State University, 3/29/2022)The death that can come within a few days after exposure to the anthrax toxin from Bacillus anthracis is due to the presence and effects of anthrax lethal factor (LF). LF is a zinc metalloproteinase whose function depends ... -
Computer vision techniques for fire detection and localization
(Wichita State University, 3/29/2022)From droughts, earthquakes, tornadoes, winter storms and wildfires, communities in Kansas have weathered significant damage over the past. During 2016, 2017 and 2021, record breaking wildfires burned thousands of acres ... -
Small scale energy devices using vortex induced vibration
(Wichita State University, 3/29/2022)Small-scale off-grid energy devices are an increasingly important part of the energy mix today, as seen in small solar panels and micro wind turbines that power road signs or heat livestock water troughs. Solar panels are ...
