Surface micromachined MEMS variable capacitor with two-cavity for energy harvesting
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
In this research, a novel MEMS variable capacitor with two capacitive cavities for energy harvesting was developed that use the wasted energy associated with undesirable mechanical vibrations to power microelectronic sensors ...
Development of Aerial-Ground Sensing Network: Architecture, Sensor Activation, and Spatial Path-Energy Optimization
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2019)
The advent of autonomous navigation, positioning, and in general robotics
technologies has enabled the maturity of small to miniature-sized unmanned aerial
vehicles (UAVs; or colloquially called drones) and their wide ...
A TEM cell design to study electromagnetic radiation exposure from cellular phones
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
A transverse electromagnetic (TEM) cell was designed and fitted with a double ended monopole antenna as a signal leader in order to couple electromagnetic radiation from GSM 900 and 1800 commercial cellular phones into a ...
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 altimeter data over the time...
Obsidian procurement in the Gallinas Mountains of west central New Mexico
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
to the northwest, the Mogollon Highlands to the southwest, and the Rio Abajo region (or Lower Rio Grande Valley) to the east. New projects in the Gallinas Mountains area have sought to better understand how its extensive Pueblo period occupations interacted...
Local and deep texture features for classification of natural and biomedical images
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
Developing efficient feature descriptors is very important in many computer vision applications including biomedical image analysis. In the past two decades and before the popularity of deep learning approaches in image ...
Constraining the slip rate of the Owl Lake Fault by using LiDAR data and fault scarp degradation models
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
fault, the Owl Lake Fault is a poorly understood link between the extension of Death Valley and other active faults within Mojave Desert. In addition to the larger tectonic framework, improved understanding of the Owl Lake Fault as a seismogenic...
Asymptotically efficient estimators for geometric shape fitting and source localization
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
Solving the nonlinear estimation problem is known to be a challenging task because of the implicit relationship between the measurement data and the unknown parameters to be estimated. Iterative methods such as the ...
Anti-fog coatings using the super-hydrophobic approach
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
by increasing surface roughness. Superhydrophobic surfaces require both appropriate surface roughness and low surface energy materials and numerous methods to attain these requirements have been demonstrated. We have made extensive use of nano-particles to help...
Understanding and Preventing Freeze Damage in Vineyards: Workshop Proceedings (2007)
(University of Missouri Extension, 2007)
The proceedings of this December 2007 workshop will be a valuable resource for current and aspiring producers wishing to understand freeze injury in grapevines and of special interest to those wishing to explore the available ...
Philosophical intuitions -- philosophical analysis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
This work is a defense of philosophical intuitions and the use of them in philosophy. First, I survey the main forms of intuition-based philosophical methods - conceptual analysis, explication, and reflective equilibrium ...
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 ...
Clustering in relational data and ontologies
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
records, and web documents. I apply an extension to the Self-Organizing Map (SOM) to produce a new algorithm, the OSOM-Ontological Self-Organizing Map. OSOM provides visualization and linguistic summarization of ontology-based data....
Multiscale modeling of biomolecular systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Studies of structure-function relationships in biomolecular systems require to follow nanometersize systems on time scales spanning from pico- to micro-seconds, while maintaining atomic scale spatial resolution in all-atom ...
Simulation and experimental study of the multichanneling rimfire gas switch
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
the University of Missouri Terawatt Test Stand, experiments were conducted studying the multichanneling cascade section of the switch. The electrical affects of multichanneling and a method to force multichanneling was presented. In addition, an objective curve...
