An embedded multichannel telemetry unit for bone strain monitoring
(2013-10-17)
read up to eight strain gauges and measures 2.4 cm × 1.3 cm × 0.7 cm. The unit is powered from a small Li-polymer battery that can be recharged wirelessly through tissue, making it suitable for implanted applications. The average current...
Out-of-core image techniques with extensions for WAMI
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Out-of-core image techniques provide for interactive visualization, analysis, and processing of extremely large images exceeding primary memory. This requires specialized data...
Intelligent orchestration of computation and networking for drone swarm applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
[EMBARGOED UNTIL 5/1/2024] Drone swarms that are equipped with high-resolution sensors and video cameras can benefit many applications (e.g., disaster response management, smart farming, traffic control). This requires sensor localization and access...
Adaptive thermal comfort computation with Zigbee wireless sensor networks
(2013)
The rapid development of wireless communications, scalable technology enabling large scale mass production of System-On-Chip boards, and low cost and low power sensors have made wireless sensor networks easy accessible and ...
Multi-hazard resilience assessment of river-crossing bridges
(2021)
the lifecycle resilience of reinforced concrete river-crossing bridges under seismic, flood-induced scour, and chloride-induced corrosion impacts, including the consideration of a typical scour countermeasure at variable service times. Based on the general...
Distribution and abundance of anurans in southeast Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
Studies were conducted on 15 1034 ha landscape blocks to investigate the effects of forest fragmentation and habitat availability on anuran populations. Detections of anurans did not indicate a correlation between the ...
A Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing the Effect of Duration of Manual Expression and Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy on Milk Volumes in Mothers of Premature Infants: The MERIT Study
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2017)
Premature infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) are extremely
vulnerable, and breast milk is best for the well-being of the infant. Most premature infants,
however, are not yet able to suck, so other methods ...
Edge computing - enabled road condition monitoring : system development and evaluation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
[EMBARGOED UNTIL 8/1/2024] Real-time pavement condition monitoring provides highway agencies with timely and accurate information that could form the basis of pavement maintenance and rehabilitation policies. Existing technologies for pavement...
Cooperative wireless relay networks and the impact of fade duration
(2020)
In wireless communication networks, the Key Performance Indicator (KPI) parameters are mostly based on the average signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Other parameters
such as site selection during call initiation, handoff, relay ...
The Relationship Between In-Service Teachers’ Culturally Responsive Teaching Self-efficacy and Outcome Expectancy Beliefs, Instructional Practices (CLASS), and Student Outcomes in the Urban School Setting
(2015-06-19)
statistically significantly predicted 19.1 % of the variance student reading outcome scores. CRTSE and CRTOE scores were highly correlated, r(68) =. 562, p<.01. Supplementary analyses revealed participants’ rated non-specific scale items higher than items more...
Evaluation of a Developmentally-Based Music Therapy Tool for Children with Autism
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2010)
). Participants included one child with autistic disorder (N = 1, male, age 3) and board certified music therapists (N = 4). Five children enrolled in this study, however, there was a participant attrition rate of 80%. The study was composed of three steps. First...
From service design to delivery : integrating marketing and operations in the service unit
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Marketing and operations researchers approach services with widely divergent paradigms, focusing on different routes to success. These different approaches often cause these researchers to come to opposing conclusions and ...
Optimal control approaches for consensus and path planning in multi-agent systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
that is defined according to the tracking error. Here the challenge is designing the algorithm such that (1) the UAVs are able to make decisions autonomously on which fire front to track and (2) they are able to track the fire fronts which evolve over time...
Single particle dynamics in liquid metals
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Our understanding of the liquid (or molten) state of metals has progressed far within the past decades. Thanks to the advances in both x-ray and neutron scattering sources, it is now possible to measure the dynamics on a ...
Agent-based modeling of the spread of the 1918-1919 Spanish Flu in three Canadian fur trading communities
