Ecological succession of the microbial community of a spacecraft assembly facility in enriched brines relevant to Mars
(Wichita State University, 2020-05-01)Life detection missions to Mars should be as free of microbial organisms as possible to avoid transporting contaminants on spacecraft surfaces. Any microbes that make the trip to Mars or the round-trip back to Earth may ... -
Editorial: response to president Obama's school speech
(Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2010-04-23)This study seeks to determine if editorial coverage was supportive or critical of Obama's September 8, 2009 school speech. Newspapers serve as the government's "Fourth Estate" by shining a spotlight on politicians and ... -
Education as an intervention for prevention of non-urgent ED visits
(Wichita State University, 2017-04-28)United States Emergency Departments (ED) collectively experience 130 million visits each year. Healthcare spending has reached an all-time high. Overutilization of the ED for nonurgent medical concerns has been targeted ... -
Education experience: positive tools for change
(Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2011-05-04)Classroom management and discipline strategies are critical to the student learning environment. This study uses the following methods: Effective School Discipline (ESD) and CHAMPS (Proactive Approach to Classroom Management) ... -
Education techniques for effective counseling regarding prevention of unintended pregnancies
(Wichita State University, 2017-04-28)While ample resources exist detailing the variety of available contraceptive options for patients who desire to prevent an unintended pregnancy, there are limited resources concerning how a provider might approach this ... -
Effect of a 10 month treadmill walking program on maladaptive and self-stimulatory behaviors of adolescents and young adults with autism
(Wichita State University. Graduate School., 2007-04-27)The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of a 10-month treadmill walking program (TWP) on target maladaptive behaviors (TB) in adolescents and young adults with autism. Five youth (3 males, 2 females; 16.6+1.7 ... -
Effect of aspect ratio and bifurcation angle on single phase flow in branched structure MCHE
(Wichita State University, 2017-04-28)The introduction of microchannel heat exchangers (MCHE) has revolutionized the cooling technology which has led to miniaturization of devices. MCHEs are highly preferred in many applications because of their characteristic ... -
Effect of balance rehabilitation on falls and self-esteem in older adults
(Wichita State University, 2021-04-02)INTRODUCTION: The risk of falling increases as people age. The leading cause of injury in older adults result from falls. Studies show that participating in physical activity and balance exercises can reduce the risk of ... -
Effect of cutting temperatures on the hole quality of a carbon-fiber composite
(Wichita State University. Graduate School., 2008-04-25)The drilling of composites project is aimed at minimizing delamination and reducing the fiber pull out, thereby improving the hole quality. The heat generated during drilling has an adverse effect on the hole quality. So ... -
Effect of ground roughness on aircraft trailing vortices
(Wichita State University. Graduate School., 2007-04-27)The work presented here is aimed at investigating the effect of the terrain roughness on the behavior of aircraft wake vortices. The tests are conducted in the water tunnel with a smooth ground plane first. Then, ... -
