Applications of model systems to explore exchange-correlation effects in density-functional theory
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
the rich physics that is present in these electronic systems, while remaining computationally cost-effective and interpretable. However, DFT also has the requirement that the density functional being used to iteratively converge towards a solution must...

Anion and solvent influences on the self-assembly of copper(I) coordination solids
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
The investigation of solvent and anion influences on the self-assembly of copper(I) coordination solids are presented. As these extended solids vary in structural design as reactions conditions are varied, both those particular structural variances...
Bridging biochemical activities with conformational dynamics observed in atomic force microscopy
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
This dissertation was written with the intention to provide future investigators with general information sufficient to start their own investigations in biological atomic force microscopy. It is noted that background ...
Thinking locally : provincialism and cosmopolitanism in American literature since the Great Depression
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Thinking Locally produces an account of twentieth-century literary history that counters the literary-historical over-reliance on wars as framing events. Eschewing the standard break between pre-World War II and post-World ...
Deep neural networks for animal object detection and recognition in the wild
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Camera traps are a popular tool to sample animal populations because they are noninvasive, detect a variety of species, and can record many thousands of animal detections per...
Optimal designs for dose-finding in contingent response models
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2004)
We study D- and c-optimal designs for dose-finding with opposing failure functions. In particular, we study the contingent response models of Li, Durham and Flournoy (1995). In the contingent response model, there are two ...
Oxidative molecular layer deposition of redox-active thin-film polymers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Thin film materials research for a more sustainable future is growing rapidly and new techniques for depositing these films are beginning to surface. One such technique is highlight in this body of work using gaseous ...
The late choral works of Igor Stravinsky: a reception history
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Despite his preeminence in twentieth-century music, the late works of Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971) remain in relative obscurity: seldom performed, inadequately recorded, poorly understood, and frequently disparaged. The ...
Twelve years later, with no end in sight : an analysis of seven crime reporters in Mexico
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI--COLUMBIA AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] This professional analysis evaluate show reporters in Mexico continue to do their jobs in an environment of unrelenting violence that has enveloped the press...
Characteristic Mode Analysis of Crumpled Graphene Flakes and A New Green’s Functions Evaluation Method for Layered Media
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2019)
Graphene flakes (GFs) in real composites are rarely perfectly flat, and often exhibit complicated crumpled shapes. Therefore, the goal of this work was to quantify the electromagnetic scattering characteristics of individual ...
Asymptotically efficient estimators for geometric shape fitting and source localization
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
estimator are presented in this thesis to solve the nonlinear estimation problem. However, they might suffer from the initialization and convergence problems. Other than the iterative methods, this thesis aims to provide a computational effective...
Reliable service chain orchestration for scalable data-intensive computing at infrastructure edges
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
data computation/consumption within the geo-distributed (edge/core) cloud infrastructure. To address (i), we present a novel deep learning-augmented geographic edge routing that relies on physical area knowledge obtained from satellite imagery...
Privacy-preserving collaboration in an integrated social environment
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Privacy and security of data have been a critical concern at the state, organization and individual levels since times immemorial. New and innovative methods for data storage, retrieval and analysis have given rise to ...
Separation and detection of chemical and biological contaminants in fresh produce by plasmofluidic device
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Plasmofluidic platforms are considered powerful approaches for onsite, fast, and reliable detection of chemical and biological contaminants in food products. In this study, two different protocols have been developed to ...
Thermal mechanical analysis of applications with internal heat generation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
Reliability-based analysis of settlements of shallow foundations on cohesionless soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI-COLUMBIA AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Although settlements of foundations on cohesionless soils usually are small, it is important to be able to predict them because the primary issue in the design...
Improving cardiac care delivery using predictive and prescriptive analytics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Endured by the growing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), the demand for cardiac care services has increased. On the other hand, the supply of cardiologists is expected to be insufficient to meet this growing ...
