processes including interception, runoff, evapotranspiration, infiltration, ...
Ontology-based methods for disease similarity estimation and drug repositioning
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-10-02)
Human genome sequencing and new biological data generation techniques have provided an opportunity to uncover mechanisms in human disease. Using gene-disease data, recent research has increasingly shown that many seemingly ...
Data center resource management with temporal data center resource management with temporal dynamic workload
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-06-19)
The proliferation of Internet services drives the data center expansion in both size
and the number. More importantly, the energy consumption (as part of total cost of ownership
(TCO)) has become a social concern. When ...
Redundant adder architectures for cell-based technology
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-01-06)
The amenity of our daily lives has come to rely on an enormous number of
embedded systems, such as mobile phones, anti-spin systems for cars, high de nition
streaming video and portable devices. The utmost important ...
A quality metric to improve wrapper feature selection in multiclass subject invariant brain computer interfaces
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-06-05)
Brain computer interface systems based on electroencephalograph (EEG) signals
have limitations which challenge their application as a practical device for general use.
The signal features generated by the brain states ...
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 ...
A data mining study of g-quadruplexes and their effect on DNA replication
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-05-25)
G-quadruplexes are guanine rich sequences of DNA that can form non-Watson-Crick
four stranded structures. They have been found to exist in various regions of the genome and
are believed to play a biological role. We ...
Situation Aware Mobile Apps Framework
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-10-03)
Mobile devices, like smart phones or tablets, have become ubiquitous, with their adoption being driven by their immediacy and sensing capabilities. Applications, or apps, that run on portable computing devices have surged ...
A study of gossip algorithms for internet-scale cardinality estimation of distributed XML data
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-10-03)
After more than a decade of active research and development, the peer-to-peer
(P2P) computing model continues to be successful. We have witnessed the deployment
of commercial P2P applications in large, Internet-scale ...
Interference aware wireless networks with point to point beamforming
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-10-03)
Recent dramatic changes in the end-user devices and applications demand the idea of
peer-peer packet transmissions without the help of base stations or wire-line backbone networks.
This concept of distributed communication ...
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 ...
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 ...
Experimental evaluation of intravascular flow meter and miniature RFID antennas using MEMS pressure sensors and flexible PCD techniques
