A Cladistic Analysis of Hawaiian Ophionine Wasps (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae)
(The University of Kansas, 2004)A cladistic analysis was performed on 29 of the 31 known species of Hawaiian ichneumonid wasps of the subfamily Ophioninae, based upon 64 adult morphological characters. Outgroups consisted of 17 species of Enicospilus, ... -
The Deterioration of Chinese Influence in the Monoglian People's Republic, May, 1957 to December, 1960
(The University of Kansas, 1968)This paper will attempt to show that in three years from 1957 to 1960 the influence of the People’s Republic of China in the Mongolian People’s Republic was steadily waning, and to follow the events of this deterioration ... -
Some Aspects of American Shortwave Radio Development
(The University of Kansas, 1929)The following pages are abstracted from a somewhat unique association with radio development. During the last twenty years the writer has been so fortunate as to be instrumental in experiments which have modified the radio ... -

(University of Kansas, 1966-05-31)Father Brendan Downey, O.S.B. of the St. Lawrence Catholic Student Center, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas, suggested the thesis topic. According to Father Brendan, Catholic missionary priests find it inconvenient ... -
An Investigation of Cardan Rotation Sequences on Lumbar Spine Lifting Kinematics
(University of Kansas, 2018-12-31)Euler angles are commonly used for kinematic descriptions due to their ability to translate to clinical contexts and the conciseness of using three rotation angles. A challenge with using Euler angles is their dependency ... -
Quantifying gait stability based on body segment coordination relationships measured with wireless sensors
(University of Kansas, 2018-12-31)SUMMARY: The purpose of this study was to investigate how the relationships between upper body (trunk) and lower body (feet) motion are affected by multiple sclerosis (MS), and how these relationships can be used to ... -
Applications of FM Noise Radar Waveforms: Spatial Modulation and Polarization Diversity
(University of Kansas, 2018-12-31)Two possible radar application spaces are explored through the exploitation of highdimensional nonrecurrent FM-noise waveforms. The first involving a simultaneous dual-polarized emission scheme that provides good separability ... -

(University of Kansas, 2018-12-31)The object of this study was to determine experimentally the influence of selected reinforcing steel mechanical properties on wall deformation capacity. Four large-scale T-shaped reinforced concrete wall specimens with ... -
Improved Atmospheric Density Estimation and Characterization of Uncertainty
(University of Kansas, 2018-12-31)Precise knowledge of the density in the upper atmosphere is a vital component of the orbit determination process for low Earth orbit, as inaccuracies in the estimation of atmospheric drag are the primary source of uncertainty ... -
Design and Development of Ultra Wide-Band Microwave Components for Snow-Probing Radars
(University of Kansas, 2018-12-31)This thesis describes the design and development of two different ultra-wideband microwave circuits for snow-probing radars. First, a broadband, low-loss planar quadrature hybrid coupler for the 2-20 GHz range is presented. ... -
Basal Conditions of Petermann Glacier and Jakobshavn Isbrae derived from Airborne Ice Penetrating Radar Measurements
(University of Kansas, 2018-12-31)Understanding ice dynamics and ice basal conditions is important because of their impacts on sea level rise. Radio echo sounding has been extensively used for characterizing the ice sheets. The radar reflectivity of the ...
