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 ...
Distributed resource allocation and performance optimization for video communication over mesh networks based on swarm intelligence
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Mesh networking technologies allow a system of communication devices to communicate with each other over a dynamic and self-organizing wired or wireless network from everywhere at anytime. Large-scale mesh communication ...
Effects of nano-second pulsed electric fields (nsPEF) on human prostate cancer cell line - LNCaP
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
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 ...
Anti-fog coatings using the super-hydrophobic approach
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Surfaces with water contact angles in excess of 150[degrees] have been attracting a great deal of attention. The work done here was in the design and development of an anti-fog coating. The hydrophilic as well as the ...
Design and construction of helmholtz coil for biomagnetic studies on soybean
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
A Helmholtz coil with a large usable area of uniform field was designed, constructed and characterized, specifically for bioelectric studies. The design and analysis of the coil were carried out through experiments and the ...
High-speed, high-accuracy method for mutual inductance calculations
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Three methods for calculating the mutual inductance of coils are examined and compared: a finite-element field code analysis method, theoretical analysis method, and F. W. Grover's tabular method. These methods are applied ...
A TEM cell design to study electromagnetic radiation exposure from cellular phones
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
A transverse electromagnetic (TEM) cell was designed and fitted with a double ended monopole antenna as a signal leader in order to couple electromagnetic radiation from GSM 900 and 1800 commercial cellular phones into a ...
Magnetoresistance in semiconductor-metal hybrids for power applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Extraordinary magnetoresistance (EMR) in semiconductor-metal hybrids has been studied exclusively for sensor applications. However, some properties of EMR-based devices are potentially advantageous for power applications. ...
Shallow trench isolation process in microfabrication for flash (NAND) memory
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Technology is steadily advancing where semiconductors and microelectronics have become such a huge source of revenue and area of technological interest, resulting in reduced device geometries and more complicated microelectronic ...
