• Bioinformatics methods for protein identification using peptide mass fingerprinting data 

    Song, Zhao, 1978- (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
    Protein identification using mass spectrometry is an important yet partially solved problem in the study of proteomics during the post-genomic era. The major techniques used in mass spectrometry are Peptide Mass Fingerprinting ...
  • Fast and adaptive H.264/AVC video coding for network based applications 

    Liu, Li, 1981- (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
    As the state of the art video coding standard, H.264/AVC achieves significant coding performance gain comparing to its predecessors. Nevertheless, the advance comes at huge complexity increase of the encoder, which may ...
  • Genome scale meta analysis of microarrays for biological inferences 

    Srivastava, Gyan Prakash, 1979- (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
    In this present era of high-throughput technologies, meta-analysis is being widely used to integrate multiple similar high throughput studies. Here we propose a novel framework for applying meta-analysis techniques on ...
