Omputational perspectives of memory storage and gamma oscillation within the amygdala
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
., 2001; Rumpel et al., 2005). This dissertation describes computational modeling work that investigates the neuronal competition in the LA circuit that can shed light on understanding the mechanism behind this. Another important mechanism in the formation...
Simulation of solar photovoltaic power station
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
It is predicted that in the 21st century, solar photovoltaic power generation will occupy an important seat of world energy consumption, and will replace some conventional energy. Solar photovoltaic power station is a kind ...
Self-aligned microchip device for automated measurement of quantal exocytosis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Here we describe a method to fabricate a multi-channel high-throughput microchip device for measurement of quantal transmitter release from individual cells. Instead of bringing carbon-fiber electrodes to cells, the device ...
Data control for signal scavenging for a personnel detection system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Injurious falls have been one of the major problems in elderly people and not providing medical assistance to those patients on time may increase complications. We developed a "Smart Carpet", which detects the personal ...
Optically resonant structures for the enhancement of polycrystalline PbSe photoconductors
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
The mid-wave infrared (MWIR) regime of the electromagnetic spectrum is attractive for long-range imaging systems due to the atmospheric window between 3 and 5 [mu]m. Due to ambient thermal background, it is often necessary to operate sensor systems...
Linguistic summarization of human activity
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
The thesis advanced herein is that linguistic summarization is essential for the reliable succinct modeling and inference of human activity. It is also asserted that the inherent and unavoidable uncertainty is linguistic ...
Robust receiver design for RF communication and underwater acoustic communication
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
This dissertation includes two parts: robust receiver design for wireless radio frequency(RF) communication, and robust receiver design for underwater acoustic (UWA) communication. The methodology of study for the first part is theoretical analysis...
Data-driven methods for analyzing ballistocardiograms in longitudinal cardiovascular monitoring
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
, has been shown in the literature, as the key to a successful clinical intervention. We have been investigating environmentally-embedded in-home networks of non-invasive sensing modalities. This dissertation concentrates on the signal processing...
Multicriteria pathfinding in uncertain simulated environments
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
-offs between each one and choose a course of action. In a sequential decision-making problem, each choice can influence which alternatives are available for subsequent actions, requiring the decision-maker to plan ahead in order to satisfy a set of objectives...
Chronomorphic characterization and radiolytic degradation analysis of polyurethane with monte carlo modeling of the neutron spectra surrounding age pettrace cyclotron
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
This thesis describes the development of fast neutron irradiation positions at the MURR GE PETtrace cyclotron for polyurethane (PUR) radiolysis studies. Monte Carlo N-Particle (MCNP) Transport code was used to calculate ...
Control and characterization of a cyclotron proton beam
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
The cyclotron proton beam accelerator at the University of Missouri Research Reactor (MURR) is used for positron emission tomography (PET) applications. Pharmaceutical radioisotopes are produced and delivered to local ...
