Data-driven 3D shape modeling
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
3D shape modeling is essential for computer to understand our real world. So far, 3D shaping modeling is still an open issue. There are too much raw data around, but there is no uniform or standard way to translate them ...
Design and implementation of a portable prTorrent simulator system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The absence of a system that could perform as both a P2P simulator and a P2P emulator poses a barrier to researchers and developers. The objective of ...
Statistical inference in wireless sensor and mobile networks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
In recent years, wireless sensor networks have emerged as a cost effective alternative to traditional wired sensor systems. In the meantime, mobile networks have also gained many momentums. The two emerging networks share ...
KOLAM : human computer interfaces fro visual analytics in big data imagery
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
In the present day, we are faced with a deluge of disparate and dynamic information from multiple heterogeneous sources. Among these are the big data imagery datasets that are rapidly being generated via mature acquisition ...
Building shape-shifting tries for fast IP lookup
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The Internet Protocol (IP) is a protocol used to communicate data over packet-switched internet works. The currently deployed version of the Internet ...
A fast multiple longest common subsequence (MLCS) algorithm
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Finding the longest common subsequence (LCS) of multiple strings is an NP-hard problem, with many applications in the areas of bioinformatics and ...
Confocal microscopy imaging analysis of plant morphodynamics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Pollen tubes are delivery mechanisms in a plant's reproductive cycle. Morphodynamic analysis of these microscopic structures provide biologists with insight into the inner workings of these structures. This thesis presents ...
A new approach to data backup
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Backing up data in order to protect against its possible loss is important. As more and more data is stored the burden of storing large amounts of backup data becomes significant. This thesis discusses the design and ...
Protein structural models selection using 4-mer sequence and combined single and consensus scores
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
Quality assessment for protein structure models is an important issue in protein structure prediction. Consensus methods assess each model based on its structural similarity to all the other models in a model set, while ...
Enhancing collaboration by providing a shared environment in wEMBOSS
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
wEMBOSS, a web interface for EMBOSS suite of programs, is a powerful tool developed to serve the needs of molecular biology user community. It started as a coordinated effort from Martin Sarachu of the Argentinean EMBnet ...
Ensemble acoustic modeling in automatic speech recognition
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
In this dissertation, several new approaches of using data sampling to construct an Ensemble of Acoustic Models (EAM) for speech recognition are proposed. A straightforward method of data sampling is Cross Validation (CV) ...
Providing multi-token based protection against cross site request forgery
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks occur when a malicious website forces a user's web browser to perform unwanted actions on a trusted website. ...
Implementing X.509 security certificate based authentication in a virtual organization
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
In recent years, research institutions have shown great interest in forming Virtual Organizations (VO) as a cost effective alternative to maintaining dedicated resources for computationally intensive tasks. Shibboleth is ...
Mining host-pathogen interaction from biomedical literature
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] With infectious diseases affecting humans, animals, and plants, the knowledge on mechanisms of infection is critical in designing drugs as well as ...
Statistical model-based methods for observation selection in wireless sensor networks and for feature selection in classification
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
We apply statistical model-based approaches to address temporal and spatial observation selection challenges in wireless sensor networks. For temporal observation selection, we present an improved version of VoIDP algorithm ...
Development of a plant protein phosphorylation database and a web-based protein phosphorylation prediction tool
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
In this project, two efficient and intuitive user-interfaces were designed and developed to be highly accessible and versatile for bioinformatics researchers. Two web based user interfaces were designed for two bioinformatics ...
Interactive web-based track editing and management
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
Image and video analysis is the process of extracting useful information from an image. With advances in optical and computational technologies, image and video analysis is becoming an increasingly important tool in ...
High-accuracy skin lesion segmentation and size determination
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
Melanoma is one of the most common skin cancers. 5% of all cancer cases that occur in a year are cases of skin cancer and many people die each year by melanoma because of late recognition. Moreover, the number of new cases ...
