Three dimensional reconstruction of plant roots via low energy x-ray computed tomography
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)Plant roots are vital organs for water and nutrient uptake. The structure and spatial distribution of plant roots in the soil affects a plant's physiological functions such as soil-based resource acquisition, yield and its ... -
Extending and applying properties of the uc generalized matrix inverse
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)The recent development of a generalized matrix inverse which preserves the units of state variables is very important for many areas of science and technology. In this thesis we derive new mathematical results for this ... -
Virtual web for PageRank computing
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)The enormous size and fast-evolving nature of World-Wide-Web has been demanding an even more efficient PageRank updating algorithm. Web evolution may involve two kinds: (1) link structure modification; (2) page insertion/deletion. ... -
Significance linked connected component analysis plus
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)An image coding algorithm, SLCCA Plus, is introduced in this dissertation. SLCCA Plus is a wavelet-based subband coding method. In wavelet-based subband coding, the input images will go through a wavelet transform and be ... -
Leveraging High Performance Computing techniques to accelerate big heterogeneous data pattern analysis and image processing
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)In this research we discuss High Performance Computing (HPC) techniques which enable efficient and effective processing of Big Data. HPC seeks to maximize the performance of computing hardware resources. However, current ... -
Portunes Algebra for security formalization in a federated workflow management
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)The allocation and dynamic adaptation of federated cyberinfrastructure resources across multiple domains for data-intensive application workflows is typically based on performance-centric considerations. Such an approach ... -
EM algorithm for reconstructing 3D structures of human chromosomes from chromosomal contact data
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Recent research suggested that chromosomes have preferred spatial conformations to facilitate necessary long-range interactions and regulations within a nucleus. So that, getting the 3D shape of chromosomes of a genome is ... -
Design and implementation of orthopedic trauma surgery rehabilitation and health monitoring system (OTSRS)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)A very common problem relating to rehabilitation of orthopedic trauma surgery is that patients do not have access, whether for financial reasons or physical location, to physical therapy and rehabilitation services after ... -
Intelligent fall detection system for eldercare
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)Fall among elders is a main reason to cause accidental death among the population over the age 65 in United States. The fall detection methods have been brought into scene by implemented on different fall monitoring devices. ... -
Data analysis and prediction of protein posttranslational modification
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)Protein posttranslational modification (PTM) occurs broadly after or during protein biosynthesis, to assist folding or activate function during the protein lifetime. Among all types of PTMs, protein phosphorylation is ... -
Analysis of host-pathogen interactions via clustering, statistical analysis, and data visualization
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)Infectious diseases are caused by a variety of agents: viruses, bacteria, parasites, or even proteins. Using existing state-of-the-art methods and tools I developed myself, I studied aspects of infectious agents. To find ... -
High-throughput visual knowledge analysis and retrieval in big data ecosystems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)Visual knowledge plays an important role in many highly skilled applications, such as medical diagnosis, geospatial image analysis and pathology diagnosis. Medical practitioners are able to interpret and reason about ... -
Distributed frequent hierarchical pattern mining for robust and efficient large-scale association discovery
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)Frequent pattern mining is a classic data mining technique, generally applicable to a wide range of application domains, and a mature area of research. The fundamental challenge arises from the combinatorial nature of ... -
Deriving information from spatial sampling floor-based personnel detection system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)Research has shown and identified a clear link between human gait characteristics and different medical conditions. Therefore, a change in certain gait parameters may be predictive of future falls and adverse events in ... -
Development of centroid based metrics to provide personalized monitoring and assessment of gait
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)A methodology is presented to characterize a subject’s ability to ambulate using various metrics generated from the movement of the subject’s centroid as detected using an inexpensive depth camera system. Metrics have been ... -
Multiple Instance Choquet Integral for multiresolution sensor fusion
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)Imagine you are traveling to Columbia, MO for the first time. On your flight to Columbia, the woman sitting next to you recommended a bakery by a large park with a big yellow umbrella outside. After you land, you need ... -
Defining the undefinedness of C11: Practical semantics-based program analysis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)This thesis extends the work of Ellison and Ros,u [13, 12] but focuses on the “negative” semantics of the C11 language—the semantics required to not just give meaning to correct programs, but also to reject undefined ... -
Relative depth estimation from single monocular images with deep convolutional network
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)Depth estimation from single monocular images is a theoretical challenge in computer vision as well as a computational challenge in practice. This thesis addresses the problem of depth estimation from single monocular ... -
