Electrophoretic deposition of graphene enhanced aluminum and bismuth trioxide nanothermite thin films
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)The work described herein details the characterization of aluminum and bismuth trioxide nanothermite thin films formed by electrophoretic deposition. Additionally, graphene was added to nanothermites before deposition to ... -
Parallel gene upstream comparison via multi-level hash tables on GPU
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)The region of DNA immediately in front of a gene body (also called upstream region) contains short (8-20 base) sequence motifs that help to control when that gene is turned on and off. Unfortunately, these motifs are ... -
Study of battery storage to delay infrastructure upgrade in the electrical grid
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)As energy consumption continues to rise in the United States, there exists a need to increase energy production, through either existing methods or the development of new methods. Environmental concerns encourage the use ... -
A study of power distribution system reconfiguration based on reliability indices
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Network reconfiguration is one of the feasible methods for reducing the distribution network loss. The reconfiguration of a distribution system is a process that alters the feeder topological structure by changing the open/ ... -
Study on the improvement of the FCM algorithm based on evolutionary algorithms
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)The Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) is a widely used clustering algorithm in unsupervised learning. It always converges to an optimum solution very quickly, thanks to its alternating optimization (AO) strategy. However, this AO strategy ...
