Data analytics approaches for breast cancer survivability: comparison of data mining methods
(Wichita State University, 2017-04-28)In the early stages of breast cancer, inefficient treatment methods, as well as the patient's health condition may impact the patient's lifetime expectancy. In this study, given a set of explanatory variables that include ... -
Data caching in ad hoc networks using Bloom filters
(Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2009-05-01)Data caching provides efficient data access by maintaining replicas of data in strategic parts of the network. However, current research in this area does not manage memory space of each node efficiently. We propose an ... -
“Dead on arrival”: Why marijuana decriminalization in the air capital never took off
(Wichita State University, 2016-04-29)This study is a thematic analysis of the events leading up to the marijuana decriminalization vote of April 2015 in Wichita, Kansas. Newspaper articles appearing in The Wichita Eagle were purposively sampled for their ... -
Decreasing symptoms in interstitial cystitis patients: pentosan polysulfate vs. sacral neuromodulation
(Wichita State University. Graduate School., 2007-04-27)Oral pentosan polysulfate is the only FDA-approved drug for interstitial cystitis. Several studies have been conducted that show PPS will reduce IC symptoms. Sacral neuromodulation is a newer therapy for IC that has been ... -
Demographics and disease profile in an urban public primary care clinic: Implications for indigent care, insurance and health care disparities

Depictions of parental incarceration in children's literature
(Wichita State University, 2016-04-29)Often called “unintended victims of the war on crime,”1 1.5 million children have at least one incarcerated parent and 22% are younger than 52. Accessible literature for these children to relate to, which would also increase ... -
Depositional and structural history of the Sedgwick basin, South Central Kansas in relation to petroleum entrapment
(Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2009-05-01)The Sedgwick Basin is an important hydrocarbon producing area in Kansas. Subsurface structural and isopach (thickness) maps and cross-sections illustrate the depositional and tectonic history of the area. It has undergone ... -
Depositional Patterns and Stratigraphic Relationships in a Sag Basin: Middle Jurassic Gypsum Spring, Piper and Sundance Formations, NW Wyoming
(Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2011-05-04)The Middle Jurassic Gypsum Spring, Piper and Sundance Formations of Wyoming are marine and evaporite deposits formed in a shallow epeiric sea east of an overthrust belt that existed near the western margin of North America. ... -
Description of electrostatic zipper actuator dynamics for nonzipped operations
(Wichita State University, 2021-04-02)There is a need for an efficient actuator that consumes less power and produces large displacements for microrobotic applications. The electrostatic zipper actuators have the potential to drive microrobots; however, these ... -
Design and development of a smart wheelchair-mounted robotic exoskeleton for people with reduced upper limb movements
(Wichita State University, 2019-04-26)INTRODUCTION: Cerebral Palsy, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, and stroke not only often impair lower extremities, leading to reliance on wheelchairs, but also upper extremity mobility for such patients, severely limiting their ... -
Design and Implementation of a web service for LiteOS-based sensor networks
(Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2009-05-01)This project presents the design and implementation of a web service for LiteOS-based wireless sensor networks (WSNs) to remotely monitor the light, temperature, magnet, and acceleration of the physical world. LiteOS is ... -
Design and manufacture of quick-change end-caps for a chemical vapor deposition system for synthesis of carbon nanotubes
(Wichita State University, 2016-04-29)To synthesize carbon nanotubes in a chemical vapor deposition reactor, a sealed environment is necessary for high-temperature decomposition of a carbon source in the vapor phase. The current furnace utilizes a large quartz ... -
Design and physico-chemical studies of "two-point" bound supramolecular porphyrin-fullerene conjugates formed by cation-crown ether complexation and axial co-ordination or π-π interactions
