since it is able to super sample an image without producing aliasing or artifacts in the interpolated result. The proposed algorithm is also applied to pan-sharpen remote sensing images....

This project examines plant macroremains, phytoliths and starch remains recovered from special archaeological and architectural contexts at Buena Vista (11°43'51.72"S, 76°58'5.45"W) , an inland site in the lower Chilló́n ...

This study uses party platforms to assess the degree of independence between state and national political parties in the United States in light of issue ownership theory and morality politics. Utilizing a coding scheme adapted from the Comparative...

to the contamination of noise and motion artifacts caused by floor vibration, unconstrained subject movements, or even the respiratory activities. Aging, diseases, breathing, and sleep disorders can also affect the quality of estimation as they slightly modify...

Automatically maintaining conformance between product line architecture and source code is a major challenge involved in architecture-centric product line development. This is difficult as existing techniques of ...

International Baccalaureate (IB), a highly rigorous academic and college preparatory program, has sometimes been implemented to turn around otherwise struggling school systems. Little is known about the impact on school ...

This research compares differences between standardized test scores in problem-based learning (PBL) classrooms and a traditional classroom for 6th grade students using a mixed-method, quasi-experimental and qualitative ...

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] As study of the Alexandrian monumental rock-cut tombs in the eastern necropolis of Moustapha Pasha, leads to a re-examination of their artifacts, architectural features...

Polarization memory is a well established phenomenon occurring when circularly polarized light propagates in turbid media of larger particles. Recent studies have demonstrated that the circularly crosspolarized imaging can ...

Software product line architecture (PLA) is one of the most promising applications of software architecture. This paper presents a pragmatic PLA development approach with tool support. It addresses two existing issues of PLA development...

that stakeholder groups use narrative strategies to expand or constrain the policy issue to support their desired end states and that changes in policy discussion help explain policy changes and revised outcomes....

New campus and civic buildings, restaurants, bike lanes and public art have sprouted in Columbia.

Investigating ways for the University of Missouri to widen access to rare or special collections owned by the University is a primary goal of the Print for the People Mizzou Advantage project. An additional goal is to ...

The purpose of this narratalogical case study was to investigate the strategies military families utilize to contribute to the academic performance of highly mobile military connected students. The unit of analysis was ...

We examined the expression of target optical properties in subsurface polarization imaging under linearly and circularly polarized illumination. Reflecting, scattering, and absorption targets were imaged in tissue mimic ...

Deep learning widely applies to solve various problems in healthcare, robotics, and computer vision. Presently, an emerging deep learning application called "deepfake" has raised concerns about the multiple types of security ...

Technology use, cooperation, and organizational learning are complex constructs that were often oversimplified and resulted in inconsistent findings in past studies. This study employed an innovative approach to building ...

This thesis uses long bone diaphyseal morphology to test hypotheses regarding behavior and functional adaptation among Jomon period hunter-gatherers from the Yoshigo site in Japan. Cross-sectional properties of Jomon femora ...
