A qualitative case study of a co-teaching relationship at a rural high school
(Wichita State University, 2010-05)No Child Left Behind and The Education for All Handicapped Children Acts have required schools to educate students with disabilities in new ways. Co-teaching is one model with the potential to unite the traditionally ... -
A qualitative case study of student perceptions of a random drug testing policy
(Wichita State University, 2011-05)This qualitative study involved high school students in focus groups and individual interviews who shared their perceptions of a random drug testing policy and its implementation in the fall of 2007 at their suburban high ... -
Quality of life measures for aphasia: Patient and caregiver perspectives
(Wichita State University, 2016-05)The purpose of this study was to compare two quality of life measures designed for persons with aphasia. Five persons with chronic expressive aphasia and their nominated family member/caregiver participated in this study. ... -
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 ... -
Quantifying human-robot interaction for therapeutic and Industrial applications
(Wichita State University, 2020-07)Neuromuscular and sensorimotor degeneration significantly reduce physical, cognitive, and social well-being across the life span. Assistive technologies have proven useful in augmentation or supporting patients as they ... -
Quantifying male and female shape variation in the mastoid region of the temporal bone
(Wichita State University, 2008-12)The shape of the temporal bone of the adult human cranium, specifically the mastoid region, is documented widely in past literature as a measure of sexual dimorphism within and among human populations. Yet, past research ... -
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 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 ... -
The quantitative analysis of medium access delays in saturated ad hoc networks and their impact on the packet service-time
(Wichita State University, 2010-12)This thesis presents a quantitative analysis of medium access control (MAC) delays in saturated ad hoc networks and their impact on node packet service-time. First, the medium access delay at an ad hoc node was modeled in ... -
Quantum algorithms for production and scheduling optimization
(Wichita State University, 2022-12)Quantum computing has become an emerging field of interest due to its computational efficiency in solving combinatorial optimization problems. This rapid-growing paradigm of computation harnesses the principles of ... -
Quantum neural networks
(Wichita State University, 2020-05)Quantum computing is becoming a reality, at least on a small scale. However, designing a good quantum algorithm is still a challenging task. This has been a huge major bottleneck in quantum computation for years. In this ... -
Quasi-one-dimensional numerical analysis of choked two-phase flashing flow through millitubes
(Wichita State University, 2015-12)Small-diameter tubes are utilized widely as expansion devices in refrigeration systems. Performance of these tubes is reliant upon critical flashing of the two-phase flow that controls the mass flow rate of the refrigeration ... -
Race, extracurricular participation, and academic success among high school girls: the role of teacher perceptions
(Wichita State University, 2019-05)Previous literature has noted that an achievement gap exist for students of color. Girls of color are often subjected to higher rates of exclusionary discipline and are often perceived as being disruptive and promiscuous ... -
Radial feeder reliability evaluation in the presence of storage
(Wichita State University, 2015-05)Smart Grid demands changes to the existing distribution system. One of the ways to improve the operation of the distribution system is to use battery storage technology to aid the distribution network in minimizing the ... -
Radio emitter localization via doppler frequency shifts using a single receiver
(Wichita State University, 2021-12)The Doppler effect has been exploited for localization of an electromagnetic interference (EMI) radio source. The differential Doppler (DD) method has been used for many decades. Another method called the direct position ... -
Radio in the classroom
(Wichita State University, 1941-06)This treatise of the radio as an educational factor in the classroom is intended to be an introductory and provocative suggestion of what may be accomplished; to indicate some ways in which teachers are taking the radio ... -
Ragged schools: Schools for Destitute Children
(Wichita State University, 2019-07)Throughout most of the 19th century, school was not mandatory for children living in the United Kingdom and only available to those who could afford the fees. Ragged schools were some of the very few institutions available ... -
Ranked selection indexes for linear preference queries
(Wichita State University, 2011-12)Data entities from various data sources could be ordered according to a variety of attributes associated with those entities. These orderings result in a ranking of entities in terms of the values in the attribute domains. ... -
