Frame interpolation in H.264
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] In video transmission over low-bandwidth networks, videos are often encoded at low frame rates. At the decoder side, frame interpolation is often ... -
Effects of a combined supercritical extraction/thermal cycle on binder removal cycle time, yield, residual carbon, and defect formation in multilayer ceramic capacitors
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)In this work, a combined cycle consisting of a supercritical extraction cycle (SCE) followed by a thermal cycle (TC), was used to remove binder from green multilayer ceramic capacitors. The dielectric was barium titanate ... -
Development of land-use map for Salt River basin using satellite imagery
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)The Salt River Basin in northeastern Missouri is the major water supply source for people in the region. There is a need to build a long term simulation and to validate the long term trend of pollutant concentrations in ... -
Development of an online planning tool for designing terrace layouts
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)A web-based conservation planning tool for terrace layouts was created by modifying a terrace location program (TERLOC), developed originally by Sudduth and Gregory (1982) and revised by Ghidey et al. (1992). Development ... -
Development of a combined dilatometer and mass spectrometer system for studying gas phase chemistry and kinetics during sintering
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)Details on the components and materials comprising the combined dilatometry mass spectrometry (CDMS) apparatus are provided; including recent modifications, operating procedures and information on major system failures. ... -
Deposition of aerosols in cylindrical tubes and in human lung airways
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)Aerosol transport and deposition is of interest in many industrial and medical applications. This research is focused on two specific topics: deposition of aerosols in cylindrical tubes with emphasis on thermophoresis and ... -
Conservation and allocation of slope in gravity sanitary sewer design
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)Gravity sanitary sewers are traditionally designed in a relatively direct route from source to destination after considering property boundary/easement constraints and topographic features. A methodology is presented in ... -
Chloramine and MIEX control of disinfection by-products formed from an alluvial aquifer water source
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)Disinfection has been applied for centuries for disinfection process. The formation of disinfection by-products (DBPs) caused by disinfection become a main safety issue for the public health. Trihalomethanes (THMs) and ... -
Characterization of thermally activated solid electrolyte lithium anode primary reserve batteries
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)The purpose of this research was to perform an initial characterization of the capabilities of thermal batteries. Thermal batteries have a very high theoretical specific energy. If they also have a suitably high specific ... -
Biophysical and photobiological modulations of cellular pathways in Alzheimer's disease
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)The overall goal of this thesis work is to study the effects of biomodulations on Alzheimer's disease (AD) related cellular pathways, using biophysical and photobiological methods, including secretory phospholipase A2, ... -
Automated video processing and scene understanding for intelligent video surveillance
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)Recent advances in key technologies have enabled the deployment of surveillance video cameras on various platforms. There is an urgent need to develop advanced computational methods and tools for automated video processing ... -
Applications of the opto-fluidic ring resonator for DNA methylation analysis and microfluidic laser development
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)For several decades, optical ring resonators have played an important role in the field of telecommunications. Within only the past decade however, ring resonators have been applied for the purposes of biological and ... -
3D scene description and construction using spatial referencing language
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)It has long been a dream of science fiction to have a robot that can understand and communicate using the rich dialog of natural language. Having such capabilities would allow a human collaborator to interact naturally and ...
