Confocal microscopy imaging analysis of plant morphodynamics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Pollen tubes are delivery mechanisms in a plant's reproductive cycle. Morphodynamic analysis of these microscopic structures provide biologists with insight into the inner workings of these structures. This thesis presents ...
A fast multiple longest common subsequence (MLCS) algorithm
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Finding the longest common subsequence (LCS) of multiple strings is an NP-hard problem, with many applications in the areas of bioinformatics and ...
A new approach to data backup
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Backing up data in order to protect against its possible loss is important. As more and more data is stored the burden of storing large amounts of backup data becomes significant. This thesis discusses the design and ...
Building shape-shifting tries for fast IP lookup
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The Internet Protocol (IP) is a protocol used to communicate data over packet-switched internet works. The currently deployed version of the Internet ...
Data-driven 3D shape modeling
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
3D shape modeling is essential for computer to understand our real world. So far, 3D shaping modeling is still an open issue. There are too much raw data around, but there is no uniform or standard way to translate them ...
Selected techniques for vehicle tracking and assessment in wide area motion imagery
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Tracking of vehicles in wide area motion imagery (WAMI) is very important for civilian and military surveillance. Tracking in a dataset that is characterized by very large format video with an extremely wide field-of-view ...
A protocol for simultaneous real time playback and full quality storage of streaming media
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
This research introduces the new problem of simultaneous streaming of a single media bitstream to multiple devices with different Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. In particular, the research addresses simultaneous ...
Bioinformatics analysis and prediction of protein phosphorylation and other posttranslational modifications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Protein posttranslational modifications (PTM), such as phosphorylation, play essential roles in many aspects of cell life. With the rapid accumulation ...
Integrate template matching and statistical modeling for continuous speech recognition
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
In this dissertation, a novel approach of integrating template matching with statistical modeling is proposed to improve continuous speech recognition. Commonly used Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) are ineffective in modeling ...
Ensemble acoustic modeling in automatic speech recognition
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
In this dissertation, several new approaches of using data sampling to construct an Ensemble of Acoustic Models (EAM) for speech recognition are proposed. A straightforward method of data sampling is Cross Validation (CV) ...
Mining host-pathogen interaction from biomedical literature
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] With infectious diseases affecting humans, animals, and plants, the knowledge on mechanisms of infection is critical in designing drugs as well as ...
Implementing X.509 security certificate based authentication in a virtual organization
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
In recent years, research institutions have shown great interest in forming Virtual Organizations (VO) as a cost effective alternative to maintaining dedicated resources for computationally intensive tasks. Shibboleth is ...
Enhancing collaboration by providing a shared environment in wEMBOSS
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
wEMBOSS, a web interface for EMBOSS suite of programs, is a powerful tool developed to serve the needs of molecular biology user community. It started as a coordinated effort from Martin Sarachu of the Argentinean EMBnet ...
Providing multi-token based protection against cross site request forgery
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks occur when a malicious website forces a user's web browser to perform unwanted actions on a trusted website. ...
PIR sensing array for fall detection
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
The purpose of the Fuzzy PIR Fall Detection Array is to keep the elderly safe by providing a means for an immediate response to falls while still allowing them to enjoy the same independence they felt before fall detection ...
Automated vector-vector and vector-imagery geospatial conflation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
With the rapid advance of geospatial technologies, the availability of geospatial data from multiple sources has increased dramatically. Integration of multi-source geospatial data can provide insights and capabilities not ...
