Cooperative localization based on received signal strength in wireless sensor network
(2010-01-01)Localization accuracy based on RSS (Received Signal Strength) is notoriously inaccurate in the application of wireless sensor networks. RSS is subject to shadowing effects, which is signal attenuation caused by stationary ... -
Stability of heroin metabolites and oxycodone in rat hair and liver during decomposition
(2010-01-01)The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of soft tissue decomposition on the stability of drugs incorporated in hair antemortem. Two burial trials were conducted: in the first trial, rats were administered ... -
Reliability evaluation of the two bus interface controllers in the Darlington simulator
(2010-01-01)The Darlington simulator is now two decades old and, in common with any nuclear simulator of a similar age, suffers the problem of parts aging and obsolescence. In the past, replacement parts were available from the original ... -

The effect of high dose rate on tissue equivalent proportional counter measurements in mixed neutron-gamma fields
(2010-04-01)Tissue equivalent proportional counters (TEPCs) are commonly used for radiation monitoring in areas where a mixture of neutron and photon radiations may be present, such as those commonly encountered in nuclear power plants. ... -
Thermodynamic performance assessment of three biomass-based hydrogen production systems
(2010-04-01)Hydrogen is likely to be an important energy carrier in the future. It can be produced by the steam reforming of natural gas, coal gasification and water electrolysis among other processes. However current processes are ... -
A generic methodology for the three dimensional display of radiation fields
(2010-04-01)The radiation field visualization options available for engineers, scientists and health physicists have traditionally been based in the 2d realm, with techniques such as the generation of isodose curves. From the perspective ... -
Study of an internal combustion engine to burn hydrogen fuel and backfire elimination using a carburetor fuel delivery method
(2010-04-01)Hydrogen appears to be a clean and sustainable fuel for transportation vehicles, including internal combustion engine vehicles. In this research, a 1986 GMC Sierra truck with a 350CID 5.7L V8, 4 barrel carbureted Chevrolet ... -
Enhancing geothermal heat pump systems with parametric performance analyses
(2010-04-01)Parametric performance analyses and comparison of a basic geothermal heat pump, a heat pump cycle with motor cooling/refrigerant preheating, and a heat pump cycle utilizing an economizer with respect to first law is conducted ... -
Powertrain technology and cost assessment of battery electric vehicles
(2010-04-01)This thesis takes EV from the late 90’s as a baseline, assess the capability of today’s EV technology, and establishes its near-term and long-term prospects. Simulations are performed to evaluate EVs with different ... -
Pure culture and metagenomic approaches to investigate cellulose and xylan degradation
(2010-04-01)Lignocellulose is composed of lignin, hemicellulose, and cellulose. Lignocellulose waste is a sustainable and renewable resource available for use in biotechnological applications. Efficient enzyme production and enzymes ... -
Transport-theory-equivalent diffusion coefficients for node-homogenized neutron diffusion problems in CANDU lattices
(2010-04-01)Calculation of the neutron flux in a nuclear reactor core is ideally performed by solving the neutron transport equation for a detailed-geometry model using several tens of energy groups. However, performing such detailed ...
