Fully automated deep supervised and unsupervised learning approaches for 3D protein cryo-EM density map reconstruction
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
of single particle images are required to be extracted from two-dimensional (2D) cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) to build a reliable high-resolution (3D) model. In order to reduce the radiation damage to the biomolecules of interest during the imaging...
Simulation algorithms for fractal radiation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] This thesis presents a method to analyze a series of structures, referred to as fractals, that radiate electromagnetic waves. The fractal series are components of the so...
Sub-optimal and robust downlink beamforming in wireless networks with imperfect channel state information
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
The rapid growth in internet applications such as video streaming enforce the researcher to explore a new wireless technique to ensure high signal to interference noise ratio (SINR) at the end users, leading to high quality ...
Simulation and experimental study of the multichanneling rimfire gas switch
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
the University of Missouri Terawatt Test Stand, experiments were conducted studying the multichanneling cascade section of the switch. The electrical affects of multichanneling and a method to force multichanneling was presented. In addition, an objective curve...
Decadal mass balance of the Antarctic ice sheet from satellite radar altimetry and its contribution to global sea level change
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] In this research, we estimated the decadal mass balance of the Antarctic ice sheet using the European Space Agency's ERS-1 and ERS-2 satellite radar altimeter data over the time...
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 in the 2-D or 3-D space...
Surface micromachined MEMS variable capacitor with two-cavity for energy harvesting
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
movable plates are supported by four serpentine springs with a thickness of 3-5 [mu]m that are attached to the address lines on a silicon substrate only at the anchors' points which is made of electroplated nickel. The serpentine suspension beams are made...
Impedance and plasmonic based MEMS sensors for chemical and biological applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI-COLUMBIA AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The first project is implementing a biosensor for simultaneous detection of Salmonella serogroups. Foodborne pathogens cause millions of infections annually...
Clustering in relational data and ontologies
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
records, and web documents. I apply an extension to the Self-Organizing Map (SOM) to produce a new algorithm, the OSOM-Ontological Self-Organizing Map. OSOM provides visualization and linguistic summarization of ontology-based data....
Unpaved road detection using optimized log Gabor filter banks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
in the image, which is used in the RMF stage. The RMF stage uses log Gabor filter bank to extract road pixels that connect to the high confidence road region and generates a 3rd degree polynomial curve to represent the road model in a given image. The road...
Advances in medical infrared thermography
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
of using infrared thermography in diagnosing PAD. Thus, we conducted a study based on 12 patients recruited by vascular surgeons at the University of Missouri Hospital outpatient clinic. These patients were diagnosed with PAD and scheduled for intervention...
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 ...
Biophysical modeling to reverse engineer two mammalian neural circuits lower urinar Y tract and hippocampus
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Computational neuroscience provides tools to abstract and generalize principles of neuronal function using mathematics and computers. This dissertation reports biophysical modeling approaches to facilitate reverse engineering ...
Data-driven methods for analyzing ballistocardiograms in longitudinal cardiovascular monitoring
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in the US; about 48% of American adults have one or more types of CVD. The importance of continuous monitoring of the older population, for early detection of ...
