3D modeling and integration of current and future interconnect technologies
(2021)
To ensure maximum circuit reliability it is very important to estimate the circuit
performance and signal integrity in the circuit design phase. A full phase simulation for
performance estimation of a large-scale circuit ...
Lc-ms/ms method development for quantitation of nicotine in toenails as a biomaker for secondhand smoke and standard lipoprotein mimetic models
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
, lung cancer, and other major diseases. Smoke from active smokers has been extensively investigated by a number of researchers. These studies have examined methods for the analysis of nicotine and its metabolites. In contrast, the development of methods...
The use of shape and color theory in interpreting character traits
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Video games are richly ingrained in the world's media culture. Video games are rapidly growing their audience reach through new technological advances and innovative interactive engagement. Characters that create powerful ...
Imaging structurual and mechanical properties in cardiovascular tissue using optical polarization tractography
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the US. Every 36 seconds, one person dies from CVD [1]. Structural deficiencies and secondary changes induced by either abnormal functioning ...
Comparative Investigation of LIBS Spectra and Crater Morphology During Laser Ablation of Eutectic BiSn Alloys
(2022)
Laser-based methods such as pulsed laser deposition (PLD) that are used for fabricating structural and functional materials are ripe for dramatic improvement. However, because laser–material interactions are dependent on ...
An investigation of aesthetic appreciation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
This dissertation comprises three papers in investigating the essential topics around aesthetic appreciation. The first paper examines George Dickie's Institutional theory on defining artworks and challenges his theory by ...
The precision of retrieving temporal information : behavioral and electrophysiological studies
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
The knowledge of when an event took place provides benefits to episodic memory, such as distinguishing among multiple traces and learning event sequences. As a tool for understanding memory, time is appealing given its ...
Nonstationary Bayesian time series models with time-varying parameters and regime-switching
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
limiting its usage. This dissertation proposes a computationally efficient multivariate Bayesian Circular Lattice Filter to extend the usage of the TV-VAR model to a broader class of highdimensional problems. Finally, modeling and forecasting nonstationary...
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 ...
Biotic interactions in the fossil record: an investigation on the patterns of predation and parasitism of Plio-Pleistocene bivalves from the Nashua Formation of Florida
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
[EMBARGOED UNTIL 8/1/2024] The present study investigated for patterns of predation and parasitism among a collection of Plio-Pleistocene bivalves from the Nashua Formation of Florida. The processed sample yielded 2010 ...
Analytical earth-aerocapture guidance
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Aerocapture is a technique of employing a single atmospheric pass to inserts a spacecraft from a hyperbolic orbit, approaching from deep space, into an elliptical (captured) orbit around its destination planet. After ...
Strategic Mourning: America's Journey After the Death of George Washington
(2020)
This thesis examines the eulogies delivered after the death of George Washington in 1799, identifying themes in the texts and motivations of the authors. The death of the first president occurred during a series of national ...
Metasurface based uncooled Sixgeyo1-x-y microbolometer for infrared detection
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
In this research, we have investigated metasurface integrated uncooled SixGeyO1-x-y microbolometers. Two device architecture were fabricated and characterized. The first design presents the implementation of metasurface ...
Metasurface integrated uncooled silicon germanium oxide microbolometers for long wavelength infrared detection
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
This report presents the design, fabrication, characterization, and noise optimization of metasurface enabled uncooled infrared (IR) microbolometers based on silicon germanium oxide (Si0.344Ge0.602O0.054), (Si0.425Ge0.512 ...
Hydrodynamic characteristics and capillary-assisted heat transfer enhancement of non-condensing/condensing two-phase flows
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Interfacial characteristics of two-phase flows were studied through visualization experiments and numerical simulation using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) based on the volume-of-fluid (VOF)-continuum surface force ...
Developing a modern recycled mix design and automatic pavement monitoring system
