Thermal management in GaAs/AlGaAs laser diode structures
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Due to the advancement of nanotechnology, understanding the heat transport mechanism in nano-scale devices has become a crucial factor in describing the operation of the device...
Processing of photosensitive PDMS for biosensing
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The processing of photosensitive PDMS for applications in biosensing has been discussed in this thesis. Identification and quantitative analysis of biomolecules are very critical...
Electromagnetic effects on soybeans
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
In this study we have exposed different varieties of soybean seeds to electromagnetic (EM) radiation at a frequency other than that of light. The objective was to determine changes in the germination rate, if any, under ...
Synthesis and characterization of nanostructures and their applications : from supercapacitors to fluorescent labels to proteins
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Nanomaterials have gained importance in virtually all fields from industrial applications to pure science research since these were developed. However, synthesis...
Anti-fog coatings using the super-hydrophobic approach
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Surfaces with water contact angles in excess of 150[degrees] have been attracting a great deal of attention. The work done here was in the design and development of an anti-fog coating. The hydrophilic as well as the ...
Analog to digital converter for UWB short range indoor radar system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] In this project the analog-to-digital converter is designed for an ultra-wideband short-range radar (UWBSRR) health-event monitoring system. The input signal frequency range...
Introduction of low noise amplifier for ultra-wideband radar receiver
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] In recent years, taking care of the older population demands a greater degree of versatility in healthcare. Automatic monitoring devices and sensors can help senior citizens...
Adaptive array signal processing using the concentric ring array and the spherical array
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
This thesis introduces new methods for partial adaptive beamforming using concentric ring and spherical arrays for acoustic signals on a partially known interference environment. We propose novel methods to choose intra-ring ...
Deep neural networks for animal object detection and recognition in the wild
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Camera traps are a popular tool to sample animal populations because they are noninvasive, detect a variety of species, and can record many thousands of animal detections per...
Towards real-time object detection on edge with deep neural networks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Despite being a core topic for more than several decades, object detection is still receiving increasing attentions due to its irreplaceable importance in a wide variety of applications. Abundant object detectors based on ...
Investigation of nanoenergetic combustion study of aluminum nanoparticles systems on plasmonic grating platform
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
as governing the reaction mechanism, whereby both oxygen and aluminum diffuse through the oxide shell at low heating rates of 10^4-10^6 K/s. However, Al diffusion through the encapsulating shell restricts the reaction rate between the fuel and surrounding oxide...
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 ...
