Prototype development and testing of active yaw moment control system using vehicle momentum wheel
(2015-01-01)
Vehicle stability is the essential key to evade accidents and drive without harm. It is in actual an extremely dynamic and active research topic nowadays. Active yaw moment control to improve vehicle’s handling and stability ...
Aerodynamic and thermal analysis of a heat source at the underside of a passenger vehicle
(2014-12-01)
The first part of this thesis involves full experimental and numerical studies to understand the effects of cross-winds on the automotive underbody aero-thermal phenomena using a 2005 Chevrolet Aveo5 with a heat source ...
Investigation of dye-sensitized solar cell performance with single chirality semiconducting carbon nanotubes
(2015-03-01)
In this work, the performance, electrical transport, and optical properties of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) assembled with single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) of a single chirality in the photoanode were ...
A variational approach to mapping: an exploration of map representation for SLAM
(2012-07-01)
Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) algorithms are used
by autonomous robots to build or update maps of an environment while
maintaining their position simultaneously. A fundamental open problem
in SLAM is the e ...
Vector occluders: an empirical approximation for rendering global illumination effects in real-time
(2013-02-01)
Precomputation has been previously used as a means to get global illumination effects
in real-time on consumer hardware of the day. Our work uses Sloan’s 2002 PRT method
as a starting point, and builds on it with two new ...
Exploring entities in text with descriptive non-photorealistic rendering
(2012-12-01)
We present a novel approach to text visualization called descriptive non-photorealistic
rendering which exploits the inherent spatial and abstract dimensions in text documents
to integrate 3D non-photorealistic rendering ...
Self-healing solutions for LTE evolved packet core
(2012-10-01)
The 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) is considered as a dominant future cellular wireless
technology in terms of performance and user experience. With technological advancement of the
wireless networks, dependencies and ...
Mathematical modelling of the plunger pump operation with numerical methods for simulating the flow across the valve
(2011-12-01)
Plunger pumps are needed for heavy duty sludge pumping at wastewater treatment
facilities. America's leading pump manufacturer Wastecorp Inc. brought
their plunger pump problem to us in late 2009. It was found that when ...
Numerical methods for simulating diffusion in cellular media
(2011-12-01)
Diffusion imaging is a relatively recent branch of magnetic resonance imaging that
produces images of human physiology through diffusion of water molecules within the
body. One difficulty in calculating diffusion ...
Detection of gasoline from internal tissues for use in determining victim status at the time of a fire
(2012-08-01)
In Ontario, fire investigators from the Office of the Fire Marshal (OFM) are responsible for determining the origin and cause of suspicious fires. As part of the investigation, fire debris samples are collected from the ...
