Dark grown chlorella kessleri fed corn, sorghum and lignocellulosic hydrosylates for algal biodiesel production
(Wichita State University, 2013-07)Biodiesel production by microalgae is typically driven by photosynthetic light harvesting. Production in open ponds is hampered by high water requirements and contamination. Photobioreactor are highly engineered systems ... -
Darwin's doubt, narrative and theoretical beliefs
(Wichita State University, 2015-05)If we take Darwin’s doubt to its extreme, it might turn out to be the case that our cognitive faculties are wholly unreliable, thus each and every belief they produce is untrustworthy. Some scholars, hereafter known as ... -
Data caching in ad hoc networks using game-theoretic analysis
(Wichita State University, 2011-05)There have been researches that studied selfish data caching in ad hoc networks using game-theoretic analysis. However, due to the caching problem’s theoretical root in classic facility location problem and k-median problem, ... -
Data driven decision making frameworks with probabilistic graphical models in healthcare
(Wichita State University, 2017-05)Advancements in data gathering and uncertainty surrounding health care and human behavior require advanced modelling techniques such as Bayesian belief networks (BBNs) and Markov networks (MNs) to analyze such a complex ... -
Data preservation in intermittently connected sensor network with data priority
(Wichita State University, 2013-05)In intermittently connected sensor networks, the data generated may have different importance and priority. Different types of data will help scientists analyze the physical environment differently. In a challenging ... -
Data redistribution problem in data intensive sensor networks
(Wichita State University, 2009-12)Data redistribution problem has become a key challenge in the data intensive sensor networks (DISNs), wherein large volume of sensory data are sensed and generated from some sensor nodes about their surrounding physical ... -
Data replication in data intensive scientific applications with performance guarantee
(Wichita State University, 2009-12)Data replication is well adopted in data intensive scientific applications to reduce the data file transfer time and the bandwidth consumption. However, the problem of data replication in Data Grids, an enabling technology ... -
Data visualization that "fits": Designing effective dashboards for healthcare providers, patients, and family caregivers to patients with diabetes
(Wichita State University, 2015-05)Information dashboards are at-a-glance displays that are intended to highlight the most important information in order to help individuals solve problems and make better decisions using data. User-centered design of ... -
Data-driven system identification of nonlinear dynamics for a 6-DOF aircraft model using SINDYc
(Wichita State University, 2019-12)This work employs a data-driven, system identification technique to determine the governing dynamic equations of a nonlinear, 6-DOF aircraft model. A generalized aircraft model is developed, and nonlinearities are ... -
David L. Payne, the father of Oklahoma
(Wichita State University, 1930-05)Kansas has received a great deal of mention in the history of the United States with regard to its connection with the Civil War. This event has influenced the histories of the state, perhaps to too great a degree, and ... -
Decade of daring differences: How second wave feminism influenced Cosmopolitan, Ladies Home Journal and Redbook from 1963-1973
(Wichita State University, 2020-05)Popular media provides a window in which researchers are often able to observe shifts in societal norms in history, and women’s magazines have provided a wealth of information. This qualitative historical analysis will ... -
Decentralized control of interconnected singularly perturbed systems
(Wichita State University, 2016-08)Designing a controller for large scale systems usually involve a high degree of complexity and computation ability. When talking about decentralized interconnected systems, the complexity and computation are not the only ... -
Decision analysis process model for alternative technologies evaluation within warehousing applications
(Wichita State University, 2008-05)Led by competition, companies strive for competitive advantage. Accepting the value based holistic concept of the supply chain, organizations realize the importance of increased communication flow and availability of ... -
Deep learning for optimal dynamic control of the internet of things
(Wichita State University, 2020-12)In recent years, industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has gained considerable attention in both industry and academia. In manufacturing sector, factories use the real-time big data collected from their IoT-enabled machines ... -
Defining spaces: Giovanni's Room and the journey to identity
(Wichita State University, 2010-05)James Baldwin argues throughout his work that identity and an honest sense of self can only be attained through a personal journey that involves more than just movement from one point to another; it must also lead to a ... -
Deformation of OFHC copper during cutting
(Wichita State University, 2012-05)Metal cutting induces larger strains and high strain rates within the primary shear zone (PSZ). The study is aimed at understanding the nature of high strain rate deformation of a highly ductile and workhardening material, ... -
Demand response potential in aggregated houses using GridLAB-D
(Wichita State University, 2014-12)Electrical power consumption or demand varies very significantly from region to region. There are various factors which affect the demand for a particular location; higher the electrical demand higher is the wholesale ... -
Demand side management for residential consumers considering distribution system requirements
(Wichita State University, 2017-12)One of the focus areas of the smart-grid initiative is residential level demand response. Literature presents numerous demand response and load control programs. Some of the recent surveys analyze price-responsive demand ... -
Demographic reconstruction from an historic mortuary site in rural Poland
(Wichita State University, 2012-05)Paleodemography is the field of inquiry that attempts to identify demographic patterns from past populations derived from archeological context, providing a reflection of those patterns in a once-living population. When a ... -
Demographic structure and genetic variability of Platte thistle (Cirsium canescens asteraceae) in central and peripheral populations
(Wichita State University, 2014-12)Understanding spatial variation in the structures and dynamics of species’ populations has long been a focus in ecology. Species abundance is a function of both frequency (whether the species is present at a site) and ...
