(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
In this work, new approaches are proposed for online large vocabulary conversational speech recognition, including a fast confusion network algorithm, novel features and a Random Forests based classifier for word confidence ...
Assessment of the variability of spatial interpolation methods using elevation and drill hole data over the Magmont mine area, south-east Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
Spatial interpolation methods are widely used in fields of geoscience such as mineral exploration. Interpolation methods translate the distribution of discrete data into continuous field over a given study area. Many methods ...
An investigation into the contribution of the low-level jet (LLJ) to the available wind resource in Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
This work uses data (1 September 2006-31 August 2007) from a network of tall-towers to investigate the impact of the nocturnal low-level jet (LLJ) on near-surface winds in Missouri. Of particular interest is the contribution ...
Evaluating the roles spinal plasticity and an accessory inspiratory muscle have in a rodent model of respiratory motor neuron death
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Death by ventilatory failure most frequently occurs in patients with neuromuscular diseases in which there is a loss of respiratory motor neurons. There are currently no significant treatments to prolong or correct for ...
Pieter Bruegel The Elder’s The Months: A Perspective
(2014)
In the year 1565, Antwerp merchant Nicolaes Jongelinck commissioned Pieter Bruegel the Elder to paint a series of paintings, The Months, for his suburban villa. Unfortunately, Jongelinck lost possession of the series of ...
Mineralocorticoid receptor involvement in vascular dysfunction associated with vascular injury
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) signaling has recently been implicated in cardiovascular dysfunction associated vascular injury. Specifically, MR blockade has been shown to treat coronary microvascular dysfunction in obesity ...
Low-intensity blast-induced mild traumatic brain injury : linking blast physics to biological outcomes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
Blast-induced mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is of particular concern among military personnel due to exposure to blast energy during military training and combat. The impact of primary low-intensity blast (LIB) mediated ...
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 ...
Anthropogenic effects on soil physical, chemical, and biological properties in the Missouri Ozarks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
The maintenance of healthy forest ecosystems is critical to ensuring the sustainability of forest harvest activities. Forest soil health is a critical component of the knowledge required to manage a forest ecosystem; ...
Direct simulation Monte Carlo exploration of charge effects on aerosol evolution
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
decay of associated fission products, and ionizing atmospheres. Thus the role of charge on aerosol evolution, and hence on the nuclear source term, has been an issue of interest. There is a need for both measurements and modeling to quantify this role...
Phenotypically different cells in the nucleus of the solitary tract : expression of group I metabotropic glutamate receptors and activation by baroreflexes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Modulation and integration of visceral and central afferent information occurs in the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS). The NTS is a heterogeneous nuclear region that contains afferent terminals, interneurons, and ...
