Analysis Of A Distribution System Integrated With Photovoltaic Charging Facilities
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2019)Electricity generation and transportation account for most of the global primary energy demand. The majority of the world’s coal demand is for electricity generation and the majority of the world’s oil demand is for ... -
Automated Software to Count Stains in Immunostaining Applications
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2019)Quantification of cells from immunostained images is a vital procedure in biomedical analysis, as it helps in the measurement of proliferation, immunodetection and differentiation of nuclear markers, which in turn play ... -
Characterizing Road Conditions via Smart Mobile Crowd Sourcing
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2019)Bad road conditions can cause vehicle damage and create hazardous driving conditions. Current reporting methods for bad road conditions is a burden for the reporter, so much so that these conditions might not be ... -
Data-Driven Modeling of the Lake Chad Basin Hydrologic Systems
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2019)The drying of the Lake, located in Central Africa, is one example of a water crisis, which requires more research and studies. The lake has been progressively shrinking since the 1960s due to climate change and anthropogenic ... -
Design and Implementation of Firewall to Inspect Traffic in Encrypted VPN Tunnels
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2019)For the past 30 years, security is the greatest factor in internet and even in intranet. Starting from world war 1, we are striving to improve the security and now in 2019, we are confident enough to send the data ... -
Developing and Utilizing Multivariate Stochastic Wireless Channel Models
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2019)Developing accurate channel models is paramount in designing efficient mobile communication systems. The focus of this dissertation is to understand the small-scale fading characteristics, develop mathematical tools that ... -
Development of Aerial-Ground Sensing Network: Architecture, Sensor Activation, and Spatial Path-Energy Optimization
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2019)The advent of autonomous navigation, positioning, and in general robotics technologies has enabled the maturity of small to miniature-sized unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs; or colloquially called drones) and their wide ... -
Ice-Mocha: Intelligent crowd engineering using mobile internet of things characterization and analytics
(2019)Human casualties at entertaining, religious, or political crowd events often occur due to the lack of proper crowd safety management. Notably, for a moving crowd, a minor accident can create a panic for the people to start ... -
Impact of Penetrating Sealers and Internally Mixed Hydrophobic Compounds on Durability of Concrete
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2019)Durability of concrete is greatly impacted by infiltration of water into its pores. Utilizing penetrating sealers can help improve the concrete’s durability. Penetrating sealers come in a variety of forms, but the most ... -
KB4DL: Building a Knowledge Base for Deep Learning
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2019)Deep Learning (DL) has received considerable attention from the AI community. However, we suffer from the lack of ability in interpretation and annotation of the outcomes from extensive and exhausting learning efforts. ... -
A Model for Estimating Bike Lane Demand
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2019)Unfortunately, bike-related accidents are very common. Some of these accidents can be deadly. Most of the times, these accidents happen due to the lack of a safer means of commute, a bike lane. Further, many citizens ... -
Performance of Steel Pipelines Backfilled with Controlled Low-Strength Material (CLSM) under Seismic Wave Propagation and Reverse-Slip Fault Rupture
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2019)Seismic events may drastically damage buried pipelines affecting economy and public safety. Traditionally, buried pipelines are bedded and backfilled with compacted soils, which is labor intensive, time consuming, and ... -
Searching in a Sorted Linked List and Sort Integers into a Linked List
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2019)The research work consists of two parts. Part one is about Searching for an integer in a sorted Linked list. A tree is constructed in O(nloglogm/p+loglogm) time with p processors based on the trie with all the given ... -
Virtual Pelvic Surgery Simulator for the Prevention of Surgical Errors
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2019)Recent data suggests that over 200 million surgeries are performed annually worldwide and about 3 to 22% of these surgeries involve some sort of complications. Surgical errors can be caused by both technical errors and ...
