Defining the undefinedness of C11 : practical semantics-based program analysis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] This thesis extends the work of Ellison and Ros,u [13, 12] but focuses on the "negative" semantics of the C11 language--the semantics required to not ...
Analysis of host-pathogen interactions via clustering, statistical analysis, and data visualization
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
Infectious diseases are caused by a variety of agents: viruses, bacteria, parasites, or even proteins. Using existing state-of-the-art methods and tools I developed myself, I studied aspects of infectious agents. To find ...
Multiple Instance Choquet Integral for multiresolution sensor fusion
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
Imagine you are traveling to Columbia, MO for the first time. On your flight to Columbia, the woman sitting next to you recommended a bakery by a large park with a big yellow umbrella outside. After you land, you need ...
Template-based methods for protein model quality assessment
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Protein structure prediction is an important open problem in the bioinformatics filed. One of the difficulties of solving this problem is to develop ...
Intelligent user interfaces for internet-of-things based web applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)

Hierarchical cloud-fog platform for data import from network-edge applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Communication and coordination in a mass casualty disaster scenario is limited and difficult for medical personnel in the absence of necessary cyber ...
Intelligent fall detection system for eldercare
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
Fall among elders is a main reason to cause accidental death among the population over the age 65 in United States. The fall detection methods have been brought into scene by implemented on different fall monitoring devices. ...
Design and implementation of orthopedic trauma surgery rehabilitation and health monitoring system (OTSRS)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] A very common problem relating to rehabilitation of orthopedic trauma surgery is that patients do not have access, whether for financial reasons or ...
Multi-scale target detection based on morphological shared-weight neural network
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) are a popular neural network structure for image based applications. This thesis discusses an alternative network, the morphological shared-weight neural network (MSNN) for object ...
Genome data analysis, protein function and structure prediction by machine learning techniques
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
The raw information of a typical human genome has been generated at 2001 by Human Genome Project. However, since there are a huge amount of data, it is still a big challenge for people to understand them, and extract useful ...
Probabilistic graphical models for protein structure prediction
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
Computationally predicting the folded and functional three-dimensional structure of a protein molecule from its amino acid sequence with high degree of accuracy is critically important in structural bioinformatics and has ...
Leveraging High Performance Computing techniques to accelerate big heterogeneous data pattern analysis and image processing
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] In this research we discuss High Performance Computing (HPC) techniques which enable efficient and effective processing of Big Data. HPC seeks to ...
