• Exact physics-based modeling and animation of highly flexible 1D mechanical systems 

    Li, Dong (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
    [ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] In this thesis, we present a geometrically exact beam theory and a corresponding displacement-based finite-element model for modeling, analysis and ...
  • An exploration of composite language modeling for speech recognition 

    Xie, Xiaolin (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
    Language models are one of the most critical knowledge sources of automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems. In the past decades, many language models have been developed, and some have proved useful and successful in ...
  • Preconditioned conjugate gradient solver for structural problems 

    Li, Xiangge (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
    Matrix solvers play a crucial role in solving real world physics problem. In engineering practice, transition analysis is most often used, which requires a series of similar matrices to be solved. However, any specific ...
  • Predicting protein residue-residue contacts and disorder 

    Eickholt, Jesse (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
    [ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Predicting a protein's three dimensional structure from its corresponding sequence has long been an extremely important and challenging problem in the ...
