Tracing of internal layers in radar echograms from a Greenland study region
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Signs of long-term glaciological processes and past ice sheet structure are preserved in the internal layer signatures of the Greenland ice sheet. Internal layer data have been collected over a considerable portion of the ...
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 ...
Implementation of the University of Missouri Terawatt Test Stand and the study of a large, multichanneling, laser tirggered gas switch
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
The University of Missouri Terawatt Test Stand is one of the world's largest university operated pulsed power facilities. It was developed and implemented, for a fraction of similar facilities cost, under the supervision ...
Microfabricated devices for single cell analysis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
BioMEMS or lab-on-a-chip technology is promising technology and enables the possibility of microchip devices with higher throughput or better performance for single cell analysis. This technology is developed from the ...
Opto-electronic class AB microwave power amplifier using photoconductive switch technology
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Next generation land-based, mobile, phased-array radar systems for battlefield applications must meet constraints on volume, weight, power consumption, and data processing capability that are currently not available. The ...
Silicon carbide as a photoconductive switch material for high power applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
This research work discusses the effort at the Electrical and computer engineering (ECE) department at the University of Missouri Columbia (UMC) in developing this technology through simulation and experiments with SiC ...
Enhancing the IKE preshared key authentication method
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
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 ...
Decadal mass balance of the Antarctic ice sheet from satellite radar altimetry and its contribution to global sea level change
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] In this research, we estimated the decadal mass balance of the Antarctic ice sheet using the European Space Agency's ERS-1 and ERS-2 satellite radar ...
On the simulations of correlated nakagami-m fading channels using sum-of-sinusoids method
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
This research work discusses the generation of Nakagami-m fading samples from sum-of-sinusoids method in which Nakagami process is generated by taking square root of Gamma process. Gamma process itself can be realized using ...
Techniques for improving landmine detection using ground penetrating radar
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Improving the probability of detection of landmines is a challenging task for many scientists all around the world. The goal of this research is to be a part of this challenging work to investigate techniques for landmine ...
Deposition and characterization of high permittivity thin-film dielectrics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
As integrated circuit (IC) devices scale to ever smaller nodes, replacing the front end dielectric has become a primary challenge. To enable greater device densities, control power consumption, and enhance performance, a ...
Fuse holder damage investigation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
The explosion of fuse holders at a certain 161 kV: 34.5 kV Ameren UE substation in the Potosi area was investigated. The Alternative Transients Program -Electromagnetic Transients Program (ATP-EMTP) was used to model and ...
Development of a gigawatt repetitive pulse modulator and high-pressure switch test stand and results from high-pressure switch tests
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
The research described in this thesis documents the efforts in developing repetitively pulsed, high-pressure oil switch technology. A high-pressure oil switch has been designed and optimized for lifetime operation to more ...
Mesoporous iron oxide energetic composites with slow burn rate, sustained pressure and reduced ESD sensitivity for propellant applications
