Long-term study of successional trends in an oak-dominated forest of central Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Changes in species composition and forest structure were studied over a 36-year period in the Baskett Research and Education Area (BREA) in central Missouri. Permanent plots were...
Conservation and allocation of slope in gravity sanitary sewer design
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
constraints throughout each route. The methodology was tested in an undeveloped area near Ashland, Missouri to simulate a new development. Two pairs of baseline and slope conserving routes were evaluated, and the slope-conserving routes were found to require...
Optical reflectance in fibrous tissues and skeletal muscles
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
We studied diffuse optical reflectance in two anisotropic biological tissues: high moisture soy extrudates and skeletal muscles. High moisture extrusion of soy proteins can produce healthy alternative protein sources that ...
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 ...
Land cover classification from satellite imagery, and its applications in cellular network planning
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] To further increase the classification accuracies, radar image processing techniques were investigated to preprocess the Radarsat data before classification. Eight processing...
Investigating pore-forming peptides using the atomic force microscope
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
In my projects, I used the Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) to image the effects of pore-forming peptides and I used the Focused Ion Beam (FIB) to modify AFM cantilevers to increase the precision of force spectroscopy ...
