App chaining software-as-a-service for an advanced manufacturing marketplace
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)Advances in the field of cloud computing and networking have led to development of Marketplaces (e.g., Awesim) that support Advanced Manufacturing enterprises consisting of Apps. These Marketplaces host Apps that perform ... -
Characterizing low-dimensional phenotypes by clustering
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)A person's height is influenced by many factors, such as her parents' heights and how well she was nourished as a child. The features of an organism that can be seen are called phenotypes. Phenotypes that are influenced ... -
Classification of twitter trends using feature ranking and forward feature selection
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)Twitter scales 500 million tweets per day and has 316 million monthly active users. The majority of tweets are in the form of natural language. Using natural language makes it difficult to understand Twitter's data ... -
Data analytics in sports : improving the accuracy of NFL draft selection using supervised learning
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)Machine learning methodologies have been widely accepted as successful data mining techniques. In recent years these methods have been applied to sports data sets with some marginal success. The NFL is a highly competitive ... -
Design and of eldertech health monitoring sensor interface
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)Motion, bed, and gait analysis sensors are installed in the homes of seniors and monitored continuously for the purpose of detecting early signs of health change as well as functional decline. Automated health alerts are ... -
Detecting genomic elements of extreme conservation in higher eukaryotes by integration of hash mapping and cache-oblivious in-memory computing
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)Genomics is one of the first life science disciplines to enter the era of Big Data, facing challenges in all three dimensions--volume, variety, and velocity. Yet, in spite of a plethora of sequencing data, we are still far ... -
An enhanced mobile ambulatory assessment system for alcohol craving studies
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)Currently, most methods in clinical psychology research primarily rely on questionnaires and interviews with examiners instead of providing real-life subject behavioral and psychology data monitoring and collecting services. ... -
Evaluation of Monte Carlo method in PageRank
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)PageRank is one of the principle ranking algorithms. This method is interpreted as a frequency of visit. As the number of web pages increasing dramatically, the time to finish updating takes longer. Alternatively, Monte ... -
Evolution of soybean knowledge base
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)Soybean Knowledge Base (SoyKB), is a comprehensive web resource for knowledge about soybean genomics and multi-omics data. It is designed to give researchers easier access and better understanding of soybean traits and ... -
Indoor scene 3D modeling with single image
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)3D modeling is a fundamental and very important research area in computer vision and computer graphics. One specific category of this research field is indoor scene 3D modeling. Many efforts have been devoted to its ... -
Machine learning methods for evaluating the quality of a single protein model using energy and structural properties
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)Computational protein structure prediction is one of the most important problems in bioinformatics. In the process of protein three-dimensional structure prediction, assessing the quality of generated models accurately is ... -
Software-defined measurement to support programmable networking for SoyKB
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)Campuses are increasingly adopting hybrid cloud architectures for supporting big data science applications that require "on-demand" resources, which are not always available locally on-site. Policies at the campus edge for ... -
Three dimensional deformable image registration and registration verification
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)Deformable image registration (DIR) is a fundamental problem in medical image processing. Due to the lack of ground truth, such problem known as registration verification without 'golden standard' standard is still an ...
