[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Shock waves have potential applications in many areas such as in geology, seismological techniques, and biomedical applications. Specifically in ...

Pedestrian detection and counting have important application in video surveillance for entrance monitoring, customer behavior analysis, and public service management. In this thesis, we propose an accurate, reliable and ...

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The simulation study presented in this research has two basic objectives. The first objective is to establish a consistency in the results for quantum ...

RF facilities are necessary to accurately and systematically test multiple types of electronic devices in an electromagnetically quiet environment. Typical RF facilities consist of an anechoic chamber, a room that shields ...

One of the main contributions of the dissertation is an explanation of how and why certain neurons are recruited into a memory trace. For this, we developed a biophysical model of the rodent lateral amygdala (LA) and then ...

With the ever-growing usage of free space optical communication implementations, new innovations are currently being made to help improve the quality of transmission of these systems. One particular method employed to help ...

This dissertation investigates oil switching systems to address and reduce the jitter observed in the breakdown electric field strength of a pressurized, oil dielectric. The experimental work is conducted in two phases, ...

This dissertation describes the study of dielectrophotoretically controllable droplet's movement in a closed-side microfluidic channel for a micro gas pump application. A micro gas pump using a aqueous core has been ...

This work covers the development of a radioisotope loaded micropower source from the initial stages of design, simulation and fabrication through the characterization and performance optimization of the device. Various ...

This study looks at the development of new dielectrics, which blend characteristic of different materials for use in high voltage capacitors and antennas. As new needs arise in electrical engineering including pulsed power ...

This thesis talks about a work to design a robot with some to interact with human by spatial language. The robot is a differential drive robot with Kinect camera. The thesis proposes the perception methods which include ...

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] A novel method for the calibration of accelerometers using an electromagnetic launcher (EML) has been investigated by the University of Missouri. The ...

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] This project is to design, build and test a switched-mode class E amplifier operating at 1GHz, using a PIN photodiode as switch. In order to explore ...

The University of Missouri--Columbia has recently developed an experimental test stand for the purposes of studying the interaction of shock waves with plasmas in ambient air. An exploding-wire-triggered shock tube is used ...

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Research has shown the importance of monitoring behavior patterns of older adults over extended time periods to detect and deviations. These deviations ...

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] We consider video object cut as an ensemble of framelevel background-foreground object classifiers which fuses information across frames and refine ...
