Machine learning methods for 3D object classification and segmentation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Object understanding is a fundamental problem in computer vision and it has been extensively researched in recent years thanks to the availability of powerful GPUs and labelled data, especially in the context of images. However, 3D object...
Biologically relevant chemistry of sulfur heterocycles : from redox regulation of PTP1B to the biological activity of s-deoxy leinamycin
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is an important member of protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTPs) family that shares a conserved catalytic cysteine thiol residue. PTP1B acts as a negative regulator of insulin mediated signaling cascade...

Development of selective high-affinity fluorescent sensors for imaging neurotransmitters and application in cells and tissue
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
Herein, we develop a series of selective fluorescent sensors based on a quinolone core designed to image neurotransmitters catecholamines, serotonin and glutamate. Included are the main design strategy, synthesis, spectroscopic ...
Watershed-level Analysis of Urban Raingarden Performance
(2013)
Urban flooding became to be a big issue for many cities in the world due to the urbanization. Best Management Practices (BMP) are considered to be an economically friendly solution for the urban storm water problem.
The ...
Analytical study of the spectral-analysis-of-surface-waves method at complex geotechnical sites
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
The Spectral-Analysis-of-Surface-Waves (SASW) method is an accepted means of measuring shear wave velocity (VS). In some settings, SASW measurements have produced results that were inconsistent with results from other ...
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 ...
Nonstationary Bayesian time series models with time-varying parameters and regime-switching
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
limiting its usage. This dissertation proposes a computationally efficient multivariate Bayesian Circular Lattice Filter to extend the usage of the TV-VAR model to a broader class of highdimensional problems. Finally, modeling and forecasting nonstationary...
High valent uranium dioxo and imido complexes : synthesis and structure
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Early actinide elements have attracted considerable attention in recent years due to the need for rigorous advancements in spent nuclear fuel recycling and remediation technologies, and for their emerging versatility in ...
Insights into atomic orbital polarization in polyatomic dissociation from DC slide velocity map imaging
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
surface (PES) since they completely embody the forces between the constituent atoms. .. Photodissociation of small molecules has been studied using variety of detection methods, such as, photofragment translational spectroscopy, [4,5] Laser...
The use of geomorphological and pedological soil characteristics to assess planar borrowing at a Mandan Indian village, North Dakota
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
The Double Ditch State Historic Site is situated in a loess landscape immediately east of the Missouri River near Bismarck, North Dakota. The site was occupied from ca AD 1450 to 1785 by Mandan Indians, Plains Villagers ...
Influence of site conditions on near-field effects in multi-channel surface wave measurements
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
source offset distance to minimi near-field effects. However, the effect was complex and strongly influenced by the Vs profile. For the profiles considered, limiting NAC values ranged from about 2 to as low as 0.3. The lowest values were observed...
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 ...
Equilibrium and transport properties of polyatomic gases
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1988)
The spherical shell intermolecular potential function was used to represent the properties of pure components and mixtures of gases. Parameters for this function were evaluated using second virial coefficient data and ...
Magnetoresistance in semiconductor-metal hybrids for power applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
. Current concentration caused by the inclusion of a shunt was found to limit the pulsed current capacity in each device studied. For a common scale (13.6 mm x 3.4 mm x 1 mm), pulsed-current capacity was found to vary within each device topology according...
