Age and Gender Effects on Strain Response and Biomechanical Performance of C57BL/6 Mice
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease resulting in low bone mass and micro architectural deterioration of bone tissue. It causes a consequent increase in bone fragility and susceptibility to fracture. This age-related ... -
An Approach for Fast Score Computation in Bayesian Network Structure Learning Over Large-Scale Distributed Data
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)On a fundamental level, Bayes’ theorem enables us to utilize prior knowledge to determine the probability of an event. In consequence, its suitability for probabilistic reasoning has lead to its employment in probabilistic ... -
Cost Optimization and Load Balancing of Intra and Inter Data Center Networks to Facilitate Cloud Services
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)For cloud enterprise customers that require services on demand, data centers (DC) must allocate and partition data center resources in a dynamic fashion. We consider the problem of allocating data center resources for ... -
Deep Assertion discovery using word embeddings
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)In recent years, there has been explosive growth in the amount of biomedical data (e.g., publications, notes from EHRs, clinical trial results), with the majority being unstructured data. As the volume of data is ... -
Design Automation and Evaluation Of Emerging 3D – IC Technology Using Stacked Horizontal Nanowires
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)Miniaturization of integrated circuits (ICs) has continuously enabled advancement in modern technology. This miniaturization trend, also known as Moore’s law, needs to be maintained intact to meet the current day ... -
Design of a Microwave Imaging System for Target Identification
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)The ability to view objects that are otherwise visually inaccessible has been a long sought-after technological function and has a wide variety of potential applications. The research outlined in this thesis details ... -
Electromagnetic Characterization of Complex-Shaped Carbon Nanotubes Using Characteristic Mode Analysis
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)Advances in fabrication techniques have recently allowed the synthesis of Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) with controlled complex shapes. For example, CNTs with one or more branches sprouting off the main CNT axis, forming ... -
Evaluation of Cement-Based Reactive Media for Contaminant Remediation
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)Water contaminated with heavy metals, arsenic, and other industrial pollutants poses a severe risk to human health. Reactive media present an opportunity to intercept contaminants but have high material or environmental ... -
Evaluation of Pilot and Quadcopter Performance from Open Loop Mission Oriented Flight Testing
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)Ease of control, portability and efficiency in versatile applications have made Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) very popular. Considering various usefulness, safe operation of UAV is important and to ensure safe operation, ... -
Finite Element Analysis and Experimental Validation of Reinforced Concrete Single-Mat Slabs Subjected to Blast Loads
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)The study carried out in this thesis is the investigation of the behavior of reinforced concrete slabs subjected to blast loading. A separate experimental study was performed involving twelve reinforced concrete (RC) ... -
iMOST: Intelligent Motion-Sensing Approaches for Tracking Emotion
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)The aged, minor, and disease members often find it hard to express themselves. They are not fully aware of their need for any help or how to ask for help. The lack of communication ability decreases the quality of life and ... -
Influence of Silane Penetrating Sealer on Deicer Scaling and Absorption of Concrete Highway Pavement
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)Concrete pavements generally show excellent performance; however, some have shown premature joint degradation at young age in recent years. There are many causes of premature deterioration including poor mix designs, ... -
Multi-Modal Topic Sentiment Analytics for Twitter
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)Sentiment analysis has proven to be very successful in text applications. Social media is also considered a quite rich source to get data regarding user’s behaviors and preference. Identifying social context would make ... -
Optimization of Soil-Lime and Cement Mixes for Compressed Earth Stabilized Blocks for Low-Cost Housing in East Africa (Kenya)
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)The population of East Africa (Kenya) has continued to increase steadily due to rural urban migration. This has created a large population influx of low-income earners which has resulted in lack of low-cost affordable ... -
Qualitative Software Engineering and Parallel Sorting Algorithm for Real Numbers
