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 ...

The effects of Pulsed Electric Fields have been a period of study since past few decades, which was mainly on the electroporation, bacterial decontamination and biofouling. But the development of technology to produce nanosecond duration pulsed...

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Optically enhanced nano-forest cathodes are electron sources developed for high power devices. The principle of cathode operation is based on coherent ...

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....

A detailed study is performed to understand infrared photonic transmission through skin and the factors that influences transmission at room temperature. Pigskin is the test vehicle of this study since its structure most ...

This thesis talks about a work to design a robot with some to interact with human by spatial language. The robot is a differential drive robot with Kinect camera. The thesis proposes the perception methods which include ...

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] A study of post-CMOS fabrication process for radioisotope activation produced by nuclear transmutation is presented. Activation of the precursor occurs ...

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 ...

Increasing performance of vacuum insulator barriers is a common goal in large pulsed power systems. Insulator performance is continually being improved while new methods are developed. Triple point shielding techniques ...
