A Multimodal Biometric Authentication for Smartphones
(University of Missouri–Kansas City, 2015)
Biometrics is seen as a viable solution to ageing password based authentication on smartphones. Fingerprint biometric is leading the biometric technology for smartphones, however, owing to its high cost, major players in ...
Overcoming the Challenges of Using Unmanned Aircraft for Bridge Inspections
(2016)
is introduced through rigorous flight testing and the use of a modified Cooper-Harper rating scale. Inspection of the bridge substructure prevented GPS lock and increased pilot workload. To mimic the effects of flying around a bridge flight testing is conducted...
Identification and Development of a Reliable Framework to Predict Passive Scalar Transport for Turbulent Bounded Shear Flows
(2020)
Heat transfer modeling plays an integral role in optimization and development of highly efficient modern thermal-fluid systems. However, currently available heat flux models suffer from fundamental shortcomings. For example, ...
Biomechanical characterization of slipping on pervious and traditional concrete walking surfaces
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-06-22)
Pervious concrete is a porous material that may provide superior slip resistance due to its ability to exfiltrate melted ice and other slippery surface contaminants. The purpose of this study was to analyze slip-related ...
Effects of deceptive behavior on biomechanical measures of standing posture
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-06-22)
The accurate detection of deception has potential applications in many fields including credibility assessment, security screening, homeland security, and counter-terrorism. Techniques currently used for deception detection ...
Use of Biomechanical Motion Analysis to Evaluate Endotracheal Intubation Skill in a Simulated Clinical Setting
(2015)
This study evaluated, using motion capture technology, the performance characteristics of
novice and experienced medical personnel performing endotracheal intubation in a simulated
clinical setting. Few objective measures ...
Interfacial self-assemblies of surfactants at water-oil interfaces
(2021)
The generation of novel synthetic materials with functionality and hierarchical ordering is a major focus of current studies in materials science and engineering. Self-assembling amphiphilic materials (such as lipids or ...
Assessment of genetic algorithm based assignment strategies for unmanned systems using the multiple traveling salesman problem with moving targets
(2021)
The continuous and rapid advancements in autonomous unmanned systems technologies presents increasingly sophisticated threats to military operations. These threats necessitate the prioritization of improved strategies for ...
Derivation of walk-in cooler and freezer Performance Standard equations as they pertain to the ANSI/AHRI Standard 1250 and 1251
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012)
The ANSI/AHRI (American National Standard Institute (ANSI)/ Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI).) Standard 1250/1251 Performance Rating of Walk-In Coolers and Freezers strives to standardize ...
Strain Gauge Utilization for Aerial Vehicle Dynamic Load Measurement
(2016)
The strain gauge is a commonly used tool for dynamic load and strain measurement of a system. The work presented in this thesis describes the development and evaluation of strain gauges applied to both an aerodynamic ...
