Building environmentally-aware classifiers on streaming data
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)The three biggest challenges currently faced in machine learning, in our estimation, are the staggering quantity of data we wish to analyze, the incredibly small proportion of these data that are labeled, and the apparent ... -
Carbon nanomaterial-based aerogels for improved removal of copper(II), zinc(II), and lead(II) ions from water
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)Access to clean water continues to be an issue throughout the world. Supplies of freshwater have been decreasing due to population growth, natural disasters, and pollution. Advanced carbon-based technologies have allowed ... -
Investigation of nanoenergetic combustion study of aluminum nanoparticles systems on plasmonic grating platform
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)With renewed interest in energetic materials like aluminum, many fundamental issues concerning the ignition and combustion characteristics at nanoscales remain to be clarified. Aluminum nanoparticles (Al NP) are widely ... -
Learning-based wildfire tracking with unmanned aerial vehicles
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)This project attempts to design a path planning algorithm for a group of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to track multiple spreading wildfire zones on a wildland. Due to the physical limitations of UAVs, the wildland is ... -
Novel methods of evaluating materials in extreme environments
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)Three novel experiments were completed to investigate the difference in radiation response between production methods of Inconel 625. Production methods explored were the laser-powder bed fusion additive manufacturing ... -
Plasma nanocoatings on cobalt chromium L605 alloy for cardiovascular stent applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)Coronary stents have been essential devices in treating blocked coronary arteries, Unfortunately, they face in-stent restenosis and thrombosis complications. Drug eluting stents (DES) have been developed to minimize ... -
Protein tertiary structure prediction and refinement using deep learning
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)Building the high-quality structure of a protein from its amino acid sequence has important applications in protein engineering and drug design. The problem of accurate protein three-dimensional structure prediction from ... -
Protein-DNA interaction prediction and protein structure modeling by machine learning
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)Proteins are large, complex molecules that perform most essential functions within organisms. In this work, we mainly focus on two important aspects that determine their functional properties: the tertiary structure of the ... -
A rare event classification in the advanced manufacturing system: focused on imbalanced datasets
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)In many industrial applications, classification tasks are often associated with imbalanced class labels in training datasets. Imbalanced datasets can severely affect the accuracy of class predictions, and thus they need ... -
Recycled plastics in asphalt pavement: life cycle assessment and environmental impact implications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)This study is focused on exploring how the recycled plastics, when being used as an additive in the production of asphalt pavement, could impact the environment from a life cycle assessment perspective. The plastics modified ... -
A system for large-scale image and video retrieval on everyday scenes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)There has been a growing amount of multimedia data generated on the web todayin terms of size and diversity. This has made accurate content retrieval with these large and complex collections of data a challenging problem. ... -
Time-dependent response of flat plate structures under high sustained load
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)Reinforced concrete (RC) structures may be exposed to high levels of sustained stresses resulting from errors in construction or design, abnormal loading, and material degradation. Although most RC structures are designed ... -
TMA (Truck Mounted Attenuators) alert system-development and testing
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)Truck Mounted Attenuators (TMAs) play a crucial role in safety of work zones as they decrease the impact of the crashes, reduce fatalities and injuries, and increase safety. However, there are almost no solid solutions to ... -
Unprecedented wave control with active elastic metamaterials
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)The research of elastic metamaterials has received tremendous attention from both academic and industrial communities over the past decade or so. Elastic metamaterials are a type of structured artificial composites whose ... -
Video summarization using mosaicing and activity maps for aerial and biomedical imagery
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)The objective of this research is to develop a methodology to summarize the content of long videos using a few geospatial coverage maps or mini-mosaics for both aerial and biomedical imagery. Automatic mosaic and coverage ...
