Biological findings from molecular, cellular and behavior levels can be difficult to understand functions. Computational tools and systems concepts facilitate integration of information across levels to further understanding of functional level...

Internet Key Exchange (IKE) protocol is part of the IP Security (IPsec) protocol suite. It is responsible for generating and maintaining Security Associates and for establishing session keys between two entities before ...

hierarchical framework for tracking human pose. Extensive experiments on a public benchmark dataset demonstrate comparable tracking errors to the state-of-the-art and up to 60% computational reduction....

The problem considered is the extraction of features from a complicated set of images. In this approach the basic concepts used in the feature extraction process are: 1)an algorithm that enumerates regions; 2)a search for ...

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Computational Neuroscience provides tools to abstract and generalize principles of neuronal functions using mathematics, with applicability to the entire neuroscience spectrum...

A method for sizing battery energy storage (BES) systems for use in mitigating voltage flicker caused by solar intermittency in photovoltaic generation was developed. The method creates a "design day" from existing solar ...

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] This dissertation addresses the problem of automatic music transcription. Transcription is an open problem in the area of musical analysis and audio ...

"Electric field meters are used for the measurement of the electric field at the surface of the earth, on airplanes and on satellites. For research work and calibration of the meters, a uniform electric field facility is necessary. The accessibility...

This dissertation investigates the methods to enable a robot to interact with human using spatial language. A prototype system of human-robot interaction using spatial language running on an autonomous robot is proposed ...

"To determine the potential of a spacecraft, an electric field meter is needed to measure the field at the surface and in the neighborhood of the craft. A search was made for field measuring methods which would not involve rapidly moving parts...

number of heterogeneous devices, each with different on-board computation speeds, energy supplies, and communication capabilities, communicating over the dynamic and unreliable networks. How to coordinate the resource utilization behaviors...

Recent advances in key technologies have enabled the deployment of surveillance video cameras on various platforms. There is an urgent need to develop advanced computational methods and tools for automated video processing and scene understanding...

Today’s Internet of Things (IoT) is enabling innovations much faster to enhance the quality of life using various IoT applications such as Smart City, Smart Homes, Autonomous Driving Cars, Drone Monitoring Systems and ...

The “killer apps” of cellular and swarm computing are image processing and optimization, respectively; however, applying these platforms to general-purpose computing remains impractical. Designing systems within the restrictive framework of cellular...

"Oxidation of carbon monoxide was studied in a static reactor at 123 [degrees] [plus or minus] 1 [degrees] C, with NiO as catalyst. An alternating electric field of about 22,000 volts per centimeter, peak to peak, was applied normal to the catalytic...

mounted on a same tripod, our algorithm computes the relative pose between camera and object and creates virtual cameras from the consecutive images in the video sequence. Besides not requiring any special setup, another advantage of our method...
