Exploring telepractice perceptions and needs of school stakeholders across Kansas
(Wichita State University, 2023-05)Several studies have demonstrated the reliability, efficiency, and effectiveness of telepractice, and stakeholders have previously found engaging in telepractice to be a positive experience. However, recent studies have ... -
An exploration of the relationship between figurative language interpretation and cognitive abilities
(Wichita State University, 2023-07)Figurative language appears to be a viable method for examining one’s abstract reasoning abilities, as it requires one to make interpretations and inferences based on social context and prior knowledge. Deficits in figurative ... -
Stepwise gradient acoustic liners for engine noise reduction applications
(Wichita State University, 2023-07)Aircraft noise has been a persistent issue to the communities around the globe. Conventional acoustic liners used to attenuate aircraft engine noise are only effective over a narrow frequency range and considered poor ... -
Fitting into the campus culture: Understanding the integration of low-income students
(Wichita State University, 2023-05)The purpose of this study was to understand how low-income undergraduate students perceived their integration to campus if they lived in the residence halls during their first year. Using the lens of Bronfenbrenner’s ... -
Middle school teachers’ perceptions regarding culturally responsive teaching on instructional practice
(Wichita State University, 2023-07)Middle school classrooms, like most US public schools, are becoming increasingly diverse and experiencing rapid growth in the number of students of color, low-income, and those from diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds ... -
Parent perceptions of school-based parent involvement and the operational transmission of culture
(Wichita State University, 2023-07)Over the past fifty years of school reform, American education now includes parental involvement as an important factor contributing to children’s academic success. Furthermore, government funding is now tied to parent ... -
Anomalous Higgs boson couplings in vector boson fusion
(Wichita State University, 2023-07)The discovery of the Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in 2012 marked a significant milestone in particle physics. Since then, extensive investigations have been carried out to unravel the properties of the ... -
High bandwidth cutting force measurement during the cutting of aa 7075-t6 and its application to measure the evolution of flow stress within developing shear bands
(Wichita State University, 2023-07)Shear banding is an unstable mode of deformation and failure, caused by material beginning to soften or weaken with additional strain, resulting in narrow bands of highly deformed material called shear bands. Shear bands ... -
Optimal design of complex systems with low sensitivity to time delay
(Wichita State University, 2023-07)In this dissertation, two optimal control strategies are investigated for a large-scale decentralized system in order to optimize and study the system. The main objective of the optimization and analysis is to reduce the ... -
Manufacturing and testing of emulsified micro and nano biodiesel blends using water and other natural resources for enhancement of fossil fuels
(Wichita State University, 2023-07)The pursuit of alternative energy and carbon footprint reduction has become the pinnacle of concern not only for nations all around the world but also for research scientists. Petroleum fuels such as diesel, gasoline, and ... -
