A high voltage piezoelectric transformer for active interrogation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
A resonant piezoelectric transformer circuit was developed for high voltage generation. The goal of this project was to produce 100 kV with a reasonably sized piezoelectric crystal. Several mechanisms leading to less than ...
MizzouSMP
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
This paper covers the implementation of a 32 Bit RISC multiprocessor MizzouSMP. It was developed from MizzouRisc, simulated on Aldec Active HDL, implemented on a Altera DE2 board. The MizzouSMP core can be configured to ...
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 ...
Spectroscopic ellipsometry analysis of nanoporous low dielectric constant films processed via supercritical carbon dioxide for next-generation microelectronic devices
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
My research will address issues at the back-end-of-line in microelectronics fabrication, specifically the need for Low-k extendibility. The International Roadmap for Semiconductors (2005) suggested that interconnect ...
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 ...
Computational modeling of the fear circuit : a system approach to understand anxiety and stress disorder
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Computational models are becoming increasingly important to systems neuroscience. In fear learning, although there have been a few attempts at modeling emotional learning and memory in the past, most were limited to ...
Computational neural modeling at the cellular and network levels: two case studies
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Computational neuroscience provides tools to abstract and generalize principles of neuronal functions using mathematics, with applicability to the entire neuroscience spectrum. Problems at two levels of the neuroscience ...
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 ...
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 ...
Microfabricated devices for single cell analysis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
BioMEMS or lab-on-a-chip technology is promising technology and enables the possibility of microchip devices with higher throughput or better performance for single cell analysis. This technology is developed from the ...
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...
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 ...
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...
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...
