Activity segmentation with special emphasis on sit-to-stand analysis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)In this study, we present algorithms to segment the activities of sitting and standing, and identify the regions of sit-to-stand transitions in a given image sequence. As a means of fall risk assessment, we propose methods ... -
GUI for debugging and development of reconfigurable, evolving systems enabled by embedded hardware blocks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)A flexible hardware testbed for Evolutionary Computation is developed in our research. The purpose is to realize a system with an ability to implement a wide variety of Evolutionary Computation applications. In this ... -
High-speed non-invasive thermal analysis of high-power light-emitting diode arrays
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are pervasive in many of today's technologies. Continued maturation of the technology coupled with interest in energy ... -
Introduction of low noise amplifier for ultra-wideband radar receiver
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] In recent years, taking care of the older population demands a greater degree of versatility in healthcare. Automatic monitoring devices and sensors ... -
Self-aligned microchip device for automated measurement of quantal exocytosis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)Here we describe a method to fabricate a multi-channel high-throughput microchip device for measurement of quantal transmitter release from individual cells. Instead of bringing carbon-fiber electrodes to cells, the device ... -
Synthesis and characterization of nanostructures and their applications : from supercapacitors to fluorescent labels to proteins
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Nanomaterials have gained importance in virtually all fields from industrial applications to pure science research since these were developed. However, ...
