Advances in automated surgery skills evaluation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Training a surgeon to be skilled and competent to perform a given surgical procedure, is an important step in providing a high quality of care and reducing the risk of complications. Traditional surgical training is carried ...
Advances in transfer learning methods based on computational intelligence
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Traditional machine learning and data mining have made tremendous progress in many knowledge-based areas, such as clustering, classification, and regression. However, the primary assumption in all of these areas is that ...
Curvilinear segmentation and classification of blood vessels using random forest and deep learning
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Curvilinear structures occur in many biomedical imagery, and reliable segmentation and classification is crucial for automatic image analysis. In this dissertation, we consider optimized filter bank (OFB) features with ...
RF sensing and processing methods for noninvasive health monitoring
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Vulnerable populations include groups of people with a higher risk of poor health as a result of the limitations due to illness or disability. The health issues of vulnerable populations include three categories: physical, ...
Personalized functional health and fall risk prediction using electronic health records and in-home sensor data
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Research has shown the importance of Electronic Health Records (EHR) and in-home sensor data for continuous health tracking and health risk predictions. With the increased computational capabilities and advances in machine ...
Advances in medical infrared thermography
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
The association between illness and body temperature dates back to the beginnings of medicine. Over the last few years, infrared thermography has attracted increased attention in various medical applications due to ...
An experimental investigation of low temperature plasma sterilization, treatment, and polymerization processes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
This dissertation focuses on investigation of low temperature plasma processes. Different types of glow discharges including atmospheric pressure direct current (DC) plasma, low-pressure DC plasma, and low-pressure radio ...
