Adaptive array signal processing using the concentric ring array and the spherical array
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)This thesis introduces new methods for partial adaptive beamforming using concentric ring and spherical arrays for acoustic signals on a partially known interference environment. We propose novel methods to choose intra-ring ... -
Computational modeling of the fear circuit : a system approach to understand anxiety and stress disorder
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)Computational models are becoming increasingly important to systems neuroscience. In fear learning, although there have been a few attempts at modeling emotional learning and memory in the past, most were limited to ... -
Computational neural models at molecular, cellular and behavioral levels : three case studies
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)Biological findings from molecular, cellular and behavior levels can be difficult to understand functions. Computational tools and systems concepts facilitate integration of information across levels to further understanding ... -
Fabrication and characterization of polymer based metal-oxide-semiconductor and non-volatile memory devices
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)Organic field-effect transistors (FETs) have been widely investigated due to their potential applications in low cost, large area, and flexible electronics. Despite the rapid progress in organic FETs there are still obstacles ... -
A high voltage piezoelectric transformer for active interrogation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)A resonant piezoelectric transformer circuit was developed for high voltage generation. The goal of this project was to produce 100 kV with a reasonably sized piezoelectric crystal. Several mechanisms leading to less than ...
