Development and validation of a computational multibody model of the elbow joint
(2014-03-25)
Computational multibody models of the elbow joint can provide a powerful tool to study joint biomechanics, examine muscle and ligament function, soft tissue loading, and the effects of joint trauma. Such models can reduce ...

Gene Expression-Based Glioma Classification Using Hierarchical Bayesian Vector Machines
(Indian Statistical Institute, 2007)
This paper considers several Bayesian classification methods for the analysis
of the glioma cancer with microarray data based on reproducing kernel Hilbert space under the multiclass setup. We consider the multinomial ...
Regulation of Gene Expression by Non-coding RNAs in Arabidopsis and Brachypodium
(2014)
Expansion of high-throughput sequencing technology has increased our understanding
in the importance of pervasive transcription and the resulting indispensable molecules, noncoding
RNAs (ncRNAs). A significant effort has ...
Rivalry, revelry, and retention : an exploration into the relationship between the academic progress rate and institution, athletic department, and team characteristics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between Academic Progress Rate and team, athletic department, and institutional characteristics. ...
Radioactive Au for potential radiotherapeutic application
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Radioactive gold-198/199 can be used in therapeutic radiopharmaceutical agents to combat cancer. In this thesis, two projects involving the development of radioactive gold-198/199 are described. The first project discusses ...
Wildlife response to spatial and temporal changes in forest habitat
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
A common goal in land-management planning is to describe the relationship between management actions, vegetation and wildlife habitat conditions for large landscapes. Achieving this goal can be challenging because ecological ...
Machine-aided analysis of vote privacy using computationally complete symbolic attacker
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
Security protocols employ cryptographic primitives such as encryption and digital signatures to provide security guarantees of confidentiality and authenticity in the presence of malicious attackers. Due to the complexities ...
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 ...
Three essays on mergers and acquisitions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] In this dissertation, I investigate two segments of the mergers and acquisitions (M&A) literature: serial acquirers and cross-border M&As. In the first ...
Genetic diversity and distribution of the ringed salamander (ambystoma annulatum) across multiple spatial scales
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
that correspond to watershed boundaries. Within each cluster, I found evidence for decreased gene flow in recent generations, possibly due to the extensive timber harvest and land conversion of the CIH post European settlement. Over smaller spatial scales, I found...
Advanced analysis of short-fiber polymer composite material behavior
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Short-fiber polymer composites experience widespread use in many industrial applications, where the orientation states of the short-fibers within the polymer matrix define the material properties of the composite structure. Due to the extensive use...
Fall detection using sound sensors
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] More than 1/3 of adults aged 65 and older fall each year in the US. The fall causes injures or serious health problems which have the related medical ...
Explaining consumers' channel-switching behavior using the theory of planned behavior
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
The study was exploratory and examined channel-switching behavior using Theory of Planned Behavior in three retail channels (i.e. brick-and-mortar stores, catalogs, and the Internet). The theory assumes that individual ...
Use of geographic information systems and remote sensing as automated tool for variable rate irrigation prescriptions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Economic as well as water shortage pressure on agricultural use of water has placed added emphasis on efficient irrigation management. Center pivot ...
Towards real-time object detection on edge with deep neural networks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Despite being a core topic for more than several decades, object detection is still receiving increasing attentions due to its irreplaceable importance in a wide variety of applications. Abundant object detectors based on ...
Testing for a synergistic effect between online publicity and advertising in an integrated marketing communications context
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
This dissertation examined the relationship among four exposure conditions in marketing communications (pure advertising, advertising priming, publicity priming, and pure publicity) that include either advertising or ...
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 ...
