A brief note on second-order community satisfaction factors for two sub-communities in Istanbul, Turkey
(Wichita State University. Department of Psychology, 1990)Fiest-order Community Satisfaction factors obtained for a sample of residents of Istanbul, Turkey, were subjected to second-order factor analysis; a solution with two oblique factors ("General Satisfaction" and ... -

A brief treatise on the Joukowski transformation
(Wichita State University, 1954-06)The problem of predicting the flight characteristics of an arbitrary airfoil is very complicated, and does not readily lend itself to exact mathematical methods. However if certain simplifying assumptions are made the ... -
A call for Social Work students in mine action
(Wichita State University, School of Social Work, 2016-02-19)For too many, physical and psychological trauma are the unfortunate consequences of living in post-conflict regions where landmines and explosive remnants of war (ERW) continue to litter roads, farmland, and other critical ... -
A capillary surface with no radial limits
(Wichita State University, 2017-05)We begin by discussing the circumstances of capillary surfaces in regions with a corner, both concave and convex. These circumstances led to the (since proved) Concus-Finn Conjecture, which gives the requirements for a ... -
A class of adaptive multiresolution ultra-weak discontinuous Galerkin methods for some nonlinear dispersive wave equations
(Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics Publications, 2022-03-29)In this paper, we propose a class of adaptive multiresolution (also called the adaptive sparse grid) ultra-weak discontinuous Galerkin (UWDG) methods for solving some nonlinear dispersive wave equations including the ... -
A class of stationary random fields with a simple correlation structure
(Academic Press, 2004-07-15)A stationary random field is often more complicated than a univariate stationary time series, since dependence for a random field extends in all directions, while there is only the natural distinction of past and future ... -
A clinical utility study of personality inventories: Concordance of the MCMI-III, the MMPI-2, the MMPI-RC, two alternative personality disorder scales, and Axis II discharge diagnosis in psychiatric inpatients
(Wichita State University, 2013-12)The Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory and the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory are two of the most common personality inventories used by clinicians for diagnostic purposes. Discriminant functions of the ... -
A comparative study of electroweak Higgs boson production at future hadron colliders
(Wichita State University, 2019-04-26)The discovery of the Higgs boson has opened the door to the next phase of exploration in particle physics. Since the Higgs boson was found in July 2012 at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC), many researches and experiments ... -
A comparative study of electroweak Higgs boson production at future Hadron Colliders
(Wichita State University, 2018-07)The discovery of the Higgs boson has opened the door to the next phase of exploration in particle physics. Since the Higgs boson was found in July 2012 at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC), many researches and experiments ... -
A comparison of sanctions in African American and white TANF leavers
(Taylor & Francis, 2012-07)In this study the authors explore racial disparities in the uses of sanctions and the different impact of sanctions on the economic well-being of African American and White TANF leavers. The study analyzed 907 African ... -
A comparison of some numerical conformal mapping methods for simply and multiply connected domains
(Wichita State University, 2016-05)This dissertation compares several methods for computing conformal maps from sim-ply and multiply connected domains bounded by circles to target domains bounded by smooth curves and curves with corners. We discuss the use ... -
A comparison of subsistence cultures and their interactions with non-human primates
(Wichita State University. Department of Anthropology, 2018)It is likely that 99% of human existence was spent as hunter-gatherers. While most academics approve of this fact, few agree on an explicit definition of hunter-gatherers. If defined through social organization, hunter-gatherers ... -
A comparison of two behavioral activation protocols
(Wichita State University, 2020-07)Behavioral activation (BA) is an empirically-supported treatment for major depressive disorder that seeks to increase overt behaviors as a way of countering withdrawal and passivity that often occurs during it. While some ... -
A comparison of two evaluation techniques for technical documentation
(Wichita State University, 2005-02)This study compared two evaluation techniques, Usability Testing and Cognitive Walkthrough, in their ability to identify errors in aviation maintenance documentation. The techniques were evaluated to see how much unique ... -
A critical study of the material of James Fenimore Cooper's Leather-stocking series
(Wichita State University, 1951-06)The following chapters will be a study of the novels within the skeleton of James Fenimore Cooper’s Leather Stocking Series. By this, it is meant that the novels included in the series will be individually examined in an ... -
A culturally competent approach to engagement, assessment, intervention, and evaluation with LGBT elders: A case example
(Wichita State University, School of Social Work, 2015-05-28)The following is a case example that highlights some of the substantive issues that may be presented by a Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, and Transgender [LGBT] older adult who is receiving mental health services. It offers ... -
A facet level analysis of the concurrent and construct validity of the MCMI-III Grossman Facet Scales using the MMPI-2-RF specific problems scales as the criterion
(Wichita State University, 2016-07)Both the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory-III (MCMI-III) and the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2-Restructured Form (MMPI-2-RF) are well established assessment instruments that were developed to help ... -
A factor analysis of community satisfaction variables in a midwestern city
(Wichita State University, Department of Psychology, 1978)Community satisfaction in a midwestern city was examined through factor analysis; an oblique solution with nine factors resulted. Unlike previous research employing the same instruments and analytic techniques, distinctions ...
