Assessment of HEC-18 scour equations for bottomless culverts based on Kansas field data
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012)One of the main causes of bridge failure is scour at the abutments or piers. Scour is caused by increased velocities of water through bridge openings. Sediment is carried away from the foundations by high flows causing ... -
Beamsteering and nullsteering in interference aware wireless networks with point to point beamforming
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2013-03-19)The concept of beamforming and beamsteering has been gathering immense popularity since the idea's inception. Many in the field of Wireless Communication and in the defense community have tried and succeeded in utilizing ... -
Controlled Low-Strength Material (CLSM) produced from limestone fines and other byproducts
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012)Controlled Low Strength Material (CLSM) or flowable fill mixtures are typically specified and used in lieu of compacted fill especially for backfill, utility bedding, void fill and bridge approaches. This study developed ... -
Derivation of walk-in cooler and freezer Performance Standard equations as they pertain to the ANSI/AHRI Standard 1250 and 1251
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012)The ANSI/AHRI (American National Standard Institute (ANSI)/ Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI).) Standard 1250/1251 Performance Rating of Walk-In Coolers and Freezers strives to standardize ... -
Design and validation of wearable wireless sensors
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2013-03-14)Recent years have seen an increase in research and development efforts towards wearable and implantable health monitoring systems. Such systems are needed to provide real-time information about patients to physicians, ... -
A dual mode pulsed electro-magnetic cell stimulator
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012)This thesis presents the design and test of a dual-modality cell stimulator. The stimulator generates pulsing electric and magnetic fields at programmable rates and intensities. The target application is the stimulation ... -
Group scheduling in cellular networks
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012)With the ever increasing number of users and the usage of data in cellular networks, meeting the expectations is a very difficult challenge. To add to the difficulties, the available resources are very limited, so proper ... -
Managing malicious transactions in mobile database systems
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012)Database security is one of the most important issues for any organization, especially for financial institutions such as banks. Protecting database from external threats is relatively easier and a number of effective ... -
Maximizing throughput while maintaining fairness and priority in wireless ad-hoc networks
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012)Ad-Hoc wireless network, not a new field of research, has been gaining a lot of popularity in recent years because of its applications in emergency rescue, surveying, military, sensor networking, entertainment and community ... -
Pressure-impulse diagrams using finite element analysis for reinforced concrete slabs subjected to blast loading
(University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2012)Reinforced concrete slab systems are widely used in protective structures designed to resist blast events. Blast events subject structures to high pressure and impulse loads. The magnitude of blast load experienced by a ...
