Evaluation of tensile and compressive membrane action in isolated slab column specimen
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
-plates is known as punching shear, when inclined shear cracks propagate through the depth of the slab and cause a conical failure around the column. Alternative resistance mechanisms such as compressive and tensile membrane action may enhance the strength...
Fast inpainting algorithm for real-time video inpainting problem
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
The paper examines a simple and efficient method to solve the digital inpainting problem with a reasonable result by processing the information locally around the painting area. The method is based on a unique matrix transformation algorithm. It can...
Investigation of the effects of dynamic loads on reinforced concrete flat-plate buildings under collapse scenarios
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
During the initial stages of a collapse, failure of the initiating member (i.e. column loss) can cause a dynamic load redistribution in the surrounding members. The ability of the structure to withstand these dynamically redistributed loads...
Development and evaluation of a novel germanium-68/gallium-68 generator
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Nuclear medicine is a branch of medical imaging that uses small amounts of radioactive material to diagnose or treat a variety of diseases, including ...
Distributed RDF query processing and reasoning for big data / linked data
(2014-08-27)
The Linked Data Movement is aimed at converting unstructured and semi-structured
data on the documents to semantically connected documents called the "web of data." This is
based on Resource Description Framework (RDF) ...
Evaluation of alternative resistance mechanisms for progressive collapse
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
of three quarter scale two bay by two story frames. The column between the two bays was removed to simulate a collapse scenario. The design of the three frames consisted of discontinuous reinforcement, continuous reinforcement, and infill walls placed...
Isotope harvesting from the beam dump cooling loop at the facility for rare isotope beams (FRIB)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
column volumes of strong acid for elution. V was chosen as a radiotracer to determine the feasibility of using HFSLM extraction to remove short-lived transition metals from the beam dump loop. Part per trillion levels of 48V were successfully recovered...
Influence of various wetting agents on water status in USGA greens as determined by their physical properties
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Soil hydrophobicity is an increasing issue in sandy soils, affecting agricultural land and golf courses. This phenomenon causes water repellency and bypassing of hydrophobic root zones, limiting water accessibility. Due ...
A circuit of haunting pictures : theorizing the space of readership in "Condition of England" literature and the periodical press, 1845-1889
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
stakeholders alike used shifts in print culture, from urban sketches to layered illustrations and "Our Illustrations" columns to performance-based pictorial displays, to expose how readers' seemingly private reading experience was deeply intertwined...
Synthesis and characterization of nanostructures and their applications : from supercapacitors to fluorescent labels to proteins
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Nanomaterials have gained importance in virtually all fields from industrial applications to pure science research since these were developed. However, ...
Sorption and leaching characteristics of heavy metals in artificial soil
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
sorption characteristics, and leaching characteristics determined by flow-through column tests. The trends evident in the moisture content, pH, and carbon content profiles support the presence of a cemented Bh layer noted in the field test site...
Local quantities and topological invariants of hermitian matrices
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
the properties of topological insulators. An example is the Chern insulator phase [4, 5], which has protected electronic edge states circulating around the perimeter of a two-dimensional crystal. In particular, to calculate the local quantities we will use...
PRO3DCNN : convolutional neural network for mapping protein structure into folds
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
Motivation: SCOPe 2.07 is a dataset of 276,231 protein domains that have been partitioned into varying folds according to their shape and function. Since a protein's fold reveals valuable information about it's shape and ...
A system for access and administration of fault-tolerant web services
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
Web Services, a recent development in web technology, enables programs (services) on the World Wide Web (WWW) to communicate with each other. A program (web service) available on the WWW has to be robust to serve the vast ...
Are dividends and share repurchases substitutes? : evidence from the reaction of financial analysts
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
In this study, I propose a novel test that can contribute towards resolving whether repurchases do in fact substitute for dividends. I contend that using the reactions of financial analysts to announcements of dividends ...
Evaluation of Cement-Based Reactive Media for Contaminant Remediation
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)
Water contaminated with heavy metals, arsenic, and other industrial pollutants
poses a severe risk to human health. Reactive media present an opportunity to intercept
contaminants but have high material or environmental ...
Determining the efficacy of a biosensor to detect calpastatin, a meat tenderness indicator
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
capillary tube than the 0 hr precolumn and post-column optical fiber, therefore this is a more promising system. This research further advances the development of the biosensor and makes online assessment of calpastatin one step closer to reality....
Persistent homology : categorical structural theorem and stability through representations of quivers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
The purpose of this thesis is to advance the study and application of the field of persistent homology through both categorical and quiver theoretic viewpoints. While persistent homology has its roots in these topics, there ...
Clustering in relational data and ontologies
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
This dissertation studies the problem of clustering objects represented by relational data. This is a pertinent problem as many real-world data sets can only be represented by relational data for which object-based clustering ...
