Recently the University of Missouri-Columbia has implemented a Nuclear Safeguards graduate certificate to help satisfy the need for increased accountability in the growing field of nuclear technology. In order to fulfill ...
Computational modeling of sensory circuitry in the nucleus tractus solitarii from arterial baroreceptor and somatosensory inputs
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Baroreflex function regulates the arterial blood pressure in our body. The baroreflex is considered to be an integrated negative feedback system. NTS (Nucleus tractus solitarius) is one of key subsystems in this baroreflex ...
Effects of nano-second pulsed electric fields (nsPEF) on human prostate cancer cell line - LNCaP
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
The effects of Pulsed Electric Fields have been a period of study since past few decades, which was mainly on the electroporation, bacterial decontamination and biofouling. But the development of technology to produce ...
Magnetoresistance in semiconductor-metal hybrids for power applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Extraordinary magnetoresistance (EMR) in semiconductor-metal hybrids has been studied exclusively for sensor applications. However, some properties of EMR-based devices are potentially advantageous for power applications. ...
High-speed, high-accuracy method for mutual inductance calculations
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Three methods for calculating the mutual inductance of coils are examined and compared: a finite-element field code analysis method, theoretical analysis method, and F. W. Grover's tabular method. These methods are applied ...
Shallow trench isolation process in microfabrication for flash (NAND) memory
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Technology is steadily advancing where semiconductors and microelectronics have become such a huge source of revenue and area of technological interest, resulting in reduced device geometries and more complicated microelectronic ...
A TEM cell design to study electromagnetic radiation exposure from cellular phones
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
A transverse electromagnetic (TEM) cell was designed and fitted with a double ended monopole antenna as a signal leader in order to couple electromagnetic radiation from GSM 900 and 1800 commercial cellular phones into a ...
Decadal mass balance of the Antarctic ice sheet from satellite radar altimetry and its contribution to global sea level change
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] In this research, we estimated the decadal mass balance of the Antarctic ice sheet using the European Space Agency's ERS-1 and ERS-2 satellite radar ...
Transmission distortion modeling for wireless video communication
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] A major challenge in video wireless communication is that the channel is time-varying and error-prone. The lost video packet and the packet received ...
Optimal video sensing strategy and performance analysis for wireless video sensors under delay constraints
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] A wireless sensor network (WSN) is a system of spatially distributed sensors that capture, process and transmit information over a mobile wireless ...
Classical and neural net control and identification of non-linear systems with application to the two-joint inverted pendulum control problem
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] A two joint inverted pendulum control system is an example of a highly nonlinear dynamic system which is investigated in this thesis in terms of control ...
