Performance of the laminated glass systems under static and blast pressure loading
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The increase of explosions threats toward civilian targets has raised concerns about a building's safety. Laminated glass (LG) is one of the widely ... -
Repair prioritization with respect to inventory requirements
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)In a multi-echelon service parts supply chain with limited repair resources, real-time repair decisions have significant impacts on supply chain performance. Inducting into repair the appropriate breadth and depth of ... -
Sensitivity of plan re-optimizaton to errors in deformable image registration in online adaptive image-guided radiation therapy
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Online adaptive image-guided radiation therapy has been a longstanding topic of interest in the field of radiation oncology due to its unique ability ... -
Stock market forecasting using recurrent neural network
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)In this research, we study the problem of stock market forecasting using Recurrent Neural Network(RNN) with Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM). The purpose of this research is to examine the feasibility and performance of LSTM ... -
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 ... -
Study of high voltage charge pumping with a resonant piezoelectric device
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)A lithium niobate piezoelectric transformer (PT) was studied as a high voltage driver for a compact x-ray source. PTs are devices that are commonly found in consumer electronics and typically provide between 100 and 300 ... -
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 ... -
Studying pupillary light reflex in young children with autism spectrum disorders
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Pupillary light reflex (PLR) is a phenomenon wherein the pupil size changes according to retina illumination. PLR of adults and children has been ... -
Supervised learning methods for hand-held ground penetrating radar
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Landmines and other buried explosives endanger military and civilian lives around the world. The detection of these types of subsurface objects using ... -
Task-based image quality assessment in radiation therapy
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Medical imaging is an integral part of radiation therapy, therefore image quality assessment (IQA) is important for improving patient treatments. Current IQA methods for radiation therapy do not directly consider the task ... -
TiO2/Diatomite composites for effective arsenic removal
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Arsenic is a commonly occurring toxic element and it has been considered as the root of many disease. Due to the adverse effects that arsenic possess, ... -
Tornado intensity prediction based on environment elements at tornado events starting points
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)In this research, we analyze the behavior of tornado events which occurred in the State of Missouri between 1950-2013. The formation of tornadoes is a complex meteorological phenomenon which is still not fully understood ... -
Towards deep learning on speech recognition for Khmer language
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)In order to perform speech recognition well, a huge amount of transcribed speech and textual data in the target language must be available for system training. The high demand for language resources constrains the development ... -
Wireless communication for small floor pads to detect personnel activity
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Our laboratory has designed data acquisition systems to detect personnel activity using floor-based sensors, which we call the smart carpet. Therefore, ...
