Adaptive and augmented nonlinear filters : theory and applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)Nonlinear estimation and filtering have been intensively studied for decades since it has been widely used in engineering and science such as navigation, radar signal processing and target tracking systems. Because the ... -
Analysis and design of reinforced concrete wall systems for blast
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)Building envelope is the first and most critical line of defense for a structure against external explosion. Building envelope can be divided into two categories; structural and non-structural. Non-structural types of ... -
Studying and developing the thin film membranes for reverse osmosis application
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)Desalination by semi-permeable membranes is the most applicable method of water-salt separation, where reverse osmosis (RO) account for the major portion of the overall water production. The membrane is the most important ... -
Traffic impact assessment and mitigation strategies for disruptions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)This dissertation research focuses on modeling traffic conditions affected by disruptive events such as work zones, incidents, and hurricanes. Using a combination of field data and simulation experiments, this research ... -
Plasma treatment effects on resin-based tooth restoration improvements
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)The dental restoration is the recovery of the function, integrity and morphology of missing tooth structure using dental restorative materials. Recent years, safety and aesthetic concerns have increasingly driven dental ... -
Exploring the impact of peracetic acid on bacterial regrowth and plasmid release and developing a novel whole-cell biosensor to monitor the expression of quorum sensing genes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)Peracetic acid (PAA or CH3COOOH) is a promising alternative to chlorine-based disinfectants for water and wastewater treatment due to its strong antimicrobial properties and low disinfection by-product (DBP) formation ... -
Sensitivity analysis and optimal design of conventional and magnnetorheological fluid brakes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)Mechanical and electrical brakes have dominated the braking industry for many years and will most likely continue to do so for the foreseeable future due to their low cost and adequate operating performance, wide range of ... -
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 ... -
Statistical and simulation methods for evaluating stationary and mobile work zone impacts
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)In 2014, nearly 10% of overall congestion on freeways was due to the presence of work zones (WZs), equivalent to 310 million gallons of fuel loss (FHWA, 2017a). In terms of safety, in the US, every 5.4 minutes, a WZ related ... -
Investigation of the performance of an automatic arterial oxygen controller
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)Premature infants often require respiratory support with a varying concentration of the fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) to keep the arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2) within the desired range to avoid both hypoxemia and ... -
Automated detection of amperometric spikes resulting from quantal exocytosis and estimation of spike and pre-spike foot signal parameters
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)Electrochemical microelectrodes can detect single-vesicle release events as “spikes” of amperometric current. We developed a template based “matched-filter” approach that performs least squares fit of a library of templates ... -
A novel approach for treating resistant hypertension using a controlled-pump accumulator relief device
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)Hypertension contributes to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality worldwide. While many hypertensive patients respond to drug therapy, a growing number of these cases are called resistant hypertension (RH), when patients ... -
Peptide Amphiphile micelles (pams)-biomolecular materials capeble of modulating the immune system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)Peptide based therapeutics have become increasingly popular due to their ease of design and production. The low molecular weight and limited physiological stability often prevents peptides from reaching their desired target ... -
Evaluation of stress in concrete using ultrasonic waves
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)This research investigates the use of ultrasonic waves to evaluate the stress and damage in concrete. Tests were conducted on 6 in. x 6 in. x 12 in. plain concrete specimens (f'c = 6,000psi) at different loading stages ... -
