Effectiveness of Entertaining, Non-Traffic Related Messages on Dynamic Message Signs
(University of Kansas, 2020-05-31)This research used a fixed-base driving simulator to determine the effects of dynamic message signs (DMSs) on driver behavior. A DMS notifies drivers with safety, weather, incident, or traffic condition messages. Recently, ... -
A foe-inspired friend: Constructing a tumor tissue-mimicking biomaterial to study intratumoral drug transport
(University of Kansas, 2020-05-31)The design of an in vitro model of the tumor microenvironment and its implementation on drug screening of new anticancer therapies is an active challenge that sits at the interface of biomaterials and cancer biology. As ... -
An Investigation of Rambling-Trembling Sway Trajectories with Simulated Somatosensory Deficit
(University of Kansas, 2020-05-31)The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of simulated somatosensory deficit and vision on (1) linear measures and (2) rambling-trembling-derived measures of the COP during quiet standing. It was hypothesized ... -
The Use of Long Short-Term Memory Artificial Neural Networks for the Global Prediction of Atmospheric Density
(University of Kansas, 2020-05-31)Atmospheric drag is one of the most significant disturbing forces in the orbit determination process for satellites in low-Earth orbits. Subsequently, the prediction of atmospheric density is one of the largest sources of ... -
Analysis of Performance Overheads in DynamoRIO Binary Translator
(University of Kansas, 2020-05-31)Dynamic binary translation is the process of translating instruction code from one architecture to another while it executes, i.e., dynamically. As modern applications are becoming larger, more complex and more dynamic, ... -
The relationship between hand size and the ability to shoot and handle a basketball
(University of Kansas, 1952-08-31)For some time coaches and physical education teachers have been interested in determining the factors that affect shooting ability and ball-handling ability in basketball. It was felt that the size of the hand might have ... -
"The forgotten years" of America’s Civil Rights Movement : the University of Kansas, 1939-1961
(University of Kansas, 1994-05-31)On April 15, 1948, an interracial group of University of Kansas students "sat-in" at Brick's Cafe, a student cafe near campus. The sit-in was the end of a civil rights reform movement in Lawrence. At times a liberal movement, ... -
Feasibility of Metal Additive Manufacturing for Internal Combustion Engines
(University of Kansas, 2020-05-31)As the advancement of metal additive manufacturing (AM) technology persists, so will the expansion of its capabilities and applications. Therefore, automotive and defense industries will need to adapt to these changing ... -
Geology of the Canon City-Twin Mountain area, Fremont County, Colorado
(University of Kansas, 1959-05-31)The Canon City-Twin Mountain area lies along the western edge of the Canon City Embayment. · Precambrian crystallines of the Wet Mountains and the Front Range bound the area on the west and northeast respectively. Sedimentary ... -
A novel approach to date continental sediment deposition and paleoclimate events using volcanogenic zircon in paleosols
(University of Kansas, 2021-05-31)The Chronostratigraphy of continental deposits in the absence of discrete ash beds largely relies on maximum depositional ages (MDA) that are interpreted from detrital populations of heavy minerals from sandstones. Mudstones ... -
A work sampling investigation of white collar workers (female-clerical)
(University of Kansas, 1958-05-31)This investigation was carried out to determine the distribution of the work effort of clerical workers into the different work activities. It was also intended to determine the amount of time spent on personal needs by ... -
Gender differences in reader response entries to female main characters
(University of Kansas, 1996-05-31)This research study was designed to explore the differences in responses given by fourth grade males and females to dominate female characters in literature. Rosenblatt's theory of reader stance was used in designing the ... -
The effects of single and joint toxicity of atrazine and alachlor on three non-target aquatic organisms
(University of Kansas, 1988-05-31)The acute and chronic toxic effects of two commonly used herbicides were determined singularly and combined on three non-target aquatic organisms. Test organisms, Lemna minor (plant), Ceriodaphnia reticulata (invertebrate) ... -
