Development of a biosensor for the detection of Helicobacter hepaticus utilizing multi-functioning immobilization platforms
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Optical biosensor development is a process involving the careful selection of the material for the immobilization platform, design of the detection mechanism and integration with optical and electronic equipment. The ability of biosensor...
Reliability-based analysis of settlements of shallow foundations on cohesionless soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
, and consequently to the settlement estimations. Traditional settlement analysis methodologies do not incorporate a consistent approach to account for the uncertainties and can lead to either costly design by overestimation of the settlement or a risky design...
