Improving information use through public health informatics systems & human resource capacity building
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
The District Health Information System (DHIS) has been installed to a number of Low and Middle Income Countries (LMIC) to collect health records at a district level and share the data nationally. While data collection coverage is very high in most...
Urban Riparian Areas: Ecological And Streamside-Ordinance Assessments
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2018)
Streamside protection ordinances have been established in many urbanizing areas;
however, there has been a paucity of assessments of the effectiveness of such ordinances. A
quantitative assessment of the ecological ...
Enabling Large-Scale Storage and Retrieval of Whole Slide Images: A Big Data Approach
(2016)
Telepathology has the potential to transform the practice of pathology and be a game
changer for patients and pathologists. It can lead to wider, rapid access to expert pathologists
across hospitals in the US, improve ...
TITAN : an interactive, web-based platform for transportation, data integration, and analytics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
State transportation agencies regularly collect and store various types of data for different uses such as planning, traffic operations, design, and construction. These large datasets contain treasure troves of information that could be fused...
Fire risk assessment of the western portion of the central hardwoods forest region
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
This study examined how fire risk, a combination of fuels conditions and fire probabilities, varied across a large portion of Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana. Case studies were conducted to evaluate the fuel loading variability in Missouri Ozark...
Application of deep convolutional neural networks to automatic feature/object detection in high resolution remote sensing imagery
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
data sets are presented. Using an evolved Sugeno fuzzy integral we were able to achieve state-of-the-art results on both the UCMerced and RSD benchmark data sets. Next, a world-wide SAM site data set is introduced and we demonstrate the performance...
Quantifying error in vegetation mapping
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
, by integrating environmental variables with vegetation information. An understanding of the accuracy of the maps is important because management plans and restoration efforts are more effective with accurate data. This study was done in forested regions...
Comparative analysis of urban wetland classification from multispectral, hyperspectral, and fused satellite imagery
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-05-18)
Protection and inventory of current wetlands is important for critical habitats,
education, recreation, flood control, and storm water filtration. Over the years, the
United States has lost over one-half of its wetlands ...
Virtual reality as a communication medium: investigating the impact of virtual embodiment on various stakeholders of an architecture project
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Researchers argue that our body and our intentional actions in the environment impact how we perceive and understand the world. In the last few decades, the theory of embodied cognition has been tested across different ...
A multi-scale modeling study of the impact of land surface heterogeneity on the convective boundary layer in the U.S. Midwest
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2011-06-03)
Rain fed agricultural land is the predominant land cover class in the U.S. Midwest. The interannual and sub-seasonal climate variability of this region are determined by atmospheric oscillations on multiple temporal and spatial scales. The principal...
Keeping up with the Joneses: Relative economic voting, electoral participation, and reference points
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
This research explores the role relative economy plays in vote choice and turnout. The decision to vote and for whom to vote are heavily predicated on selecting competent policymakers based on their performance handling ...
Hierarchical nonlinear, multivariate, and spatially-dependent time-frequency functional methods
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
Notions of time and frequency are important constituents of most scientific inquiries, providing complimentary information. In an era of "big data," methodology for analyzing functional and/or image data is increasingly important. This dissertation...
Does early androgen exposure moderate developmental plasticity?
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
strongly early spatial experiences impacted the development of adult spatial ability and sensory processing sensitivity, four separate tests failed to support the hypothesis. Limitations of the tests are discussed....
Influence of economic restructuring on rural Missouri high school dropout rates
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
from a manufacturing based economy to an economy of services and information, was found to influence students' decisions to drop out. Structural equation models were used to analyze the rural trends taking place from a rural-regional state-wide level...
A remote sensing analysis of the grand river grasslands using sentinel-2 satellite imagery : a comparison of land-use / land-cover classifications using per-pixel and object-oriented procedures
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
-cover classifications were implemented over an area of the Grand River Grasslands (GRG), an area where restoration of a tallgrass prairie landscape is underway. The GRG is located in Harrison County, Missouri. The analysis was performed using Sentinel-2 10m spatial...
