To escape the fear of being alone: The dismantling of Freedmen’s Communities in Texas
(Wichita State University, 2021-12)This research explores the nexus of the removal of Black communities, beautification, and the growth of cities and highways from the perspective of African American communities within the state of Texas. Following the Civil ... -
To have or not to have: the effect children have on a woman's income
(2006-05)This research attempted to evaluate the pay-gap between women with children and women without children. Previous literature consistently concludes women with children will have lower incomes than women without children. ... -
To the boundary of the zero: postmodernism as whimsical tragedy in Tristram Shandy: a cock and bull story and 24 hour party people
(Wichita State University, 2010-12)This paper attempts to solve the problem of postmodern tragedy by examining two films by British director Michael Winterbottom, Tristram Shandy: a Cock and Bull Story, and 24 Hour Party People. Actually, I am not certain ... -
Tom Stoppard: a playwright on the fence
(Wichita State University, 2010-05)This thesis examines the content of Tom Stoppard‟s work, rather than placing emphasis on his form and cleverness. By dissecting the plays Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, Travesties, The Invention of Love, and Rock ... -
Tool life prediction based on cutting forces and surface temperature in edge trimming of multidirectional CFRP composites
(2007-05)Fiber reinforced polymers (FRPs) exhibit superior characteristics such as high specific strength, high specific modulus, fatigue strength and endurance. With an increase in the use of composite FRP materials in industries, ... -
Tool rake face temperature distribution by near infrared thermography
(Wichita State University, 2015-12)This thesis is concerned with experimentally obtained full field temperature distributions at the interface between chip and tool - the tool rake face - for the machining of Ti6Al4V and Inconel 718. As part of the work ... -
Tool wear of diamond interlocked tools in routing of CFRP composites
(2005-12)Though all CFRP materials are manufactured to their near net shape, they require a secondary machining operation for their final assemblage. In doing so, the main problem encountered is damage that results from delamination. ... -
Topics in theory of numbers

Topology creation and impact on consensus in multi-agent systems
(Wichita State University, 2013-05)Mobile ad hoc sensor networks are characterized by dynamic changes in communication links and network topology mainly due to node mobility. In such networks, it is a challenge to build a communication system that lasts ... -
Torus actions on simply connected 4-manifolds
(Wichita State University, 2017-05)In this paper, we study smooth effective actions of the 2-dimensional torus group T 2 ~= SO(2)xSO(2) on simply connected, closed 4-dimensional manifolds. Using the conical orbit space of the quotient, a cross-sectioning ... -
Total completion time minimization in a drilling sequence problem considering tool wear:an Ant algorithms approach
(2005-12)Drilling is one of the most common machining operations. An Aircraft skin consists of hundreds of different-sized holes distributed over a large area. Automated drilling/riveting machines are used today to perform the ... -
Towards an analytical framework for privacy-preserving aggregation in smart grid
(Wichita State University, 2014-05)Recent changes to the power grid are expected to influence the way energy is provided and consumed by customers. Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) is a tool to incorporate these changes for modernizing the electricity ... -
Towards cloud-based crowd-augmented spectrum mapping for dynamic spectrum access
(Wichita State University, 2015-12)In recent years, applications using wireless technology has dramatically increased. This has led to the challenge of improving the spatio-temporal spectrum utilization. Dynamic spectrum access is a method of opportunistically ... -
Towards sustainable mobile computing from a life cycle perspective
(Wichita State University, 2013-12)The exponentially increasing demand for smartphones, tablets, and laptops has made the mobile communication sector one of the fastest-growing industries. Although features and functionality of these devices have improved ... -
Toxic effects of a combined exposure to nitrate and the fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis on the African Clawed Frog, Xenopus laevis
(Wichita State University, 2011-07)The purpose of this study was to examine the synergistic effects of Bactrachochytrium dendrobatidis (chytrid fungus) and sub-lethal nitrate concentrations on fitness response of the African Clawed Frog, Xenopus laevis. The ... -
Trade, diplomacy and war along the waters: The Mississippi during the American revolution
(Wichita State University, 2010-05)In early 1779 Father Pierre Gibault, a supporter of the American cause, found himself hiding on an island in the Mississippi River. Both ice and the lack of a formal alliance between Spain and the United States blocked ... -
Tragedy in contemporary drama with an historical survey of the tragedy of the past
(Wichita State University, 1930-06)The following is an attempt to analyse the elements or contemporary English tragedy in the light or the tragedy of the past, with the view not so much of defining the present type as of determining the differences ... -
Trailing wake vortices: Experimental and modeling comparisons
(Wichita State University, 2022-12)Available literature has demonstrated a scarcity of data collected behind simple, academic wings that were not NACA profiles. Additionally, comparison of the simplified vortex models is typically performed piecewise without ... -
Training in citizenship through the student council
(Wichita State University, 1935-06)It is the purpose of this thesis to show how student participation develops citizenship, to determine the best practices that have been most generally successful, to find the underlying principles that have contributed ... -
Transcendent capriccio for wind ensemble and solo piano
(Wichita State University, 2015-05)This composition focuses on the concerto form and the freeness found within the caprccio. The work establishes a defined role for the wind ensemble and the piano and they interact and evolve through the piece. In addition ...
