Synthesis and characterization of TiO2 nanotube Schottky diodes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
, nonstoichiometric TiO2 diodes displayed an improved ideality factor from 3.7 to 2.4. A 350 [degrees] C post-fabrication thermal treatment, however, led to both stoichiometric and nonstoichiometric TiO2 diodes having similar ideality factors of 2.0 and similar shifts...
Metasurface integrated uncooled silicon germanium oxide microbolometers for long wavelength infrared detection
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
]m. The voltage noise power spectral density (PSD) of the fabricated devices were reduced by annealing the devices in vacuum. In addition, the measured TCR, thermal conductance Gth, and absorptivity were 2.5 percent/K, 4.44x10-8 W/K, and 39 percent, respectively...
Metasurface based uncooled Sixgeyo1-x-y microbolometer for infrared detection
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
on the geometry of the metasurface material. The inclusion of the metasurface permits engineering the IR absorptance with respect to wavelength. Absorption by the metasurface eliminates the need for a 1/4-wave resonant cavity under the microbolometer. In addition...
Curvilinear segmentation and classification of blood vessels using random forest and deep learning
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Curvilinear structures occur in many biomedical imagery, and reliable segmentation and classification is crucial for automatic image analysis. In this dissertation, we consider optimized filter bank (OFB) features with ...
Impedance and plasmonic based MEMS sensors for chemical and biological applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
that increased the strength of the measured signal by a factor between 4 and 6.25, high sensitivity of 3 cell/ml and detection time of less than 1 hour. The second project is implementing a fiber optic based chemical sensor, which consists of a thin film metal...
Moving object localization using frequency measurements
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
This research investigates the ability of locating a moving object using the Doppler shifts of a carrier frequency signal sent or re ected by the object and observed by several fixed or moving sensors spatially distributed ...
Advances in medical infrared thermography
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
the most reliable diagnostic test for PAD. However, some limitations exist where ABI may give false normal values above 1.4 for patients with diabetes or chronic kidney disease with rigid and non-compressible arterial vessel walls. Additionally, ABI must...
Biophysical modeling to reverse engineer two mammalian neural circuits lower urinar Y tract and hippocampus
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
models by using biologically realistic spiking neurons to reproduce neural control of the LUT in both normal function and dysfunction cases. The hippocampus has long been implicated in memory storage and retrieval. Also, hippocampal theta oscillations (4...
Unpaved road detection using optimized log Gabor filter banks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
The revised unpaved road detection system (RURD) is a novel method for detecting unpaved roads in an arid environment from color imagery collected by a forward-looking camera mounted on a moving platform. The objective is ...
Human behavior understanding and intention prediction
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Human motion, behaviors, and intention are governed by human perception, reasoning, common-sense rules, social conventions, and interactions with others and the surrounding environment. Humans can effectively predict ...
Temporal decision making using unsupervised learning
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
With the explosion of ubiquitous continuous sensing, on-line streaming clustering continues to attract attention. The requirements are that the streaming clustering algorithm recognize and adapt clusters as the data evolves, ...
