Mesoporous iron oxide energetic composites with slow burn rate, sustained pressure and reduced ESD sensitivity for propellant applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
The objective of this thesis is to synthesize a slow burning nanoenergetic formulation of mesoporous iron oxide with sustainable pressure characteristics and reduced electrostatic discharge ignition sensitivity. The choice ...
Photoswitch-based Class E microwave power amplifer
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Currently radar systems have problems with power losses and efficiency, so more power is used and more heat removal is needed. The primary source of loss is the final amplifier in the transmission-receive (TR) module. The ...
Investigation of a spatial optical pulse collection system in the all-optical analog-to-digital converter
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
In this research, I conducted a systematic integration of specific calculations for the analysis of the spatial filter that is a critical component of an all-optical analog-to-digital converter. The designed all-optical ...
Broadband beamforming and direction finding using concentric ring array
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
Sensor arrays have been used widely in applications including radar, sonar, seismology, biomedicine, communications and imaging. A very popular type of sensor array is circular array, which has almost invariant array pattern ...
Land cover classification from satellite imagery, and its applications in cellular network planning
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] To further increase the classification accuracies, radar image processing techniques were investigated to preprocess the Radarsat data before classification. ...
Effect of gate length in enhancing current in a silicon nanowire wrap around gate MOSFET
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] A 3-D silicon nanowire wrap around gate (WAG) MOSFET was designed and it was shown that the properties of the cylindrical channel silicon nanowire ...
A 750 KJ sequentially-fired pulse forming network for a helical coil electromagnetic launcher
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The design, simulation, and development of a sequentially-fired pulse forming network (SFPFN) to power a large bore helical coil electromagnetic launcher ...
A user interactive design procedure for an efficient tubular linear induction motor for pneumatic capsule pipeline systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Pneumatic Capsule Pipeline (PCP) systems are being increasingly used for freight transportation in selected industries like mining, tunneling and also ...
Automatic extraction of man-made objects from high-resolution satellite imagery by information fusion
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Recently available high-resolution commercial satellite imagery provides an important new data source for remote sensing applications. Automated feature ...
Multimedia data transmission for mobile wireless applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
In this dissertation, we first address robust multimedia data transmission for mobile application. The first topic is proxy-based handheld device access to live NASA satellite weather images. The second topic is a real ...
Wearable lip-based electrotactile display : feasibility study, modeling, and system design
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] For assisting visually impaired to effectively perceive critical spatial information through the sense of touch, we proposed a wearable lip-based ...
Source localization using TDOA with erroneous receiver positions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Source localization has been an active research for several years. It has applications in many areas such as geolocation and mobile user location. ...
