Atmospheric effects on near-infrared free space optical communication links
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] High-bandwidth optical communication systems are increasingly in demand. As radio frequency (RF) telecommunications approach its natural limit in ... -
An ATP/EMTP model for the study of both normal and abnormal substation equipment operation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] In electric utility, overcurrent and overvoltage transients in switching operations often cause severe damage on the power system equipments. In this ... -
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 ... -
Efficient H.264 video coding with a working memory of objects
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)Efficient spatiotemporal prediction to remove the source redundancy is critical in video coding. The newest international standard H.264 video coding introduces several advanced features, such as multiple-frame motion ... -
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 ... -
Fall detection using sound sensors
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] More than 1/3 of adults aged 65 and older fall each year in the US. The fall causes injures or serious health problems which have the related medical ... -
General purpose evolutionary algorithm testbed
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)We developed a "General Purpose Evolutionary Algorithm Testbed" through which a wide variety of evolutionary algorithms can be implemented in hardware, quickly and with a little hardware knowledge. A user interface allows ... -
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 ... -
Polarimetric radar processing of AIRSAR imagery from Los Angeles basin region
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)Extracting useful information and intelligence from polarimetric interferometric synthetic aperture radar (PolInSAR) data involves a variety of highly sophisticated processing methods. To aid in the advancement of efficient ...
