Parking Availability Forecasting Model
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2019)Parking is increasingly an issue in the world today especially in large and growing cities with contemporary urban mobility. The effort spent in searching for available parking spots results in significant loss of ... -
Characteristic Mode Analysis of Crumpled Graphene Flakes and A New Green’s Functions Evaluation Method for Layered Media
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2019)Graphene flakes (GFs) in real composites are rarely perfectly flat, and often exhibit complicated crumpled shapes. Therefore, the goal of this work was to quantify the electromagnetic scattering characteristics of individual ... -
Multi-Modal Ocular Recognition in presence of occlusion in Mobile Devices
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)The existence eyeglasses in human faces cause real challenges for ocular, facial, and soft-based (such as eyebrows) biometric recognition due to glasses reflection, shadow, and frame occlusion. In this regard, two operations ... -
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. ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Hand Gesture Recognition via Electromyographic (EMG) Armband for CAD Software CONTROL
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)In the past, computers - whether personal or at work - required a mouse and key board to interact with them, and they are still used to this day. Even for video games a physical tool (controller) is needed to interact ... -
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 ... -
Searching in a Sorted Linked List and Sort Integers into a Linked List
