The design and development of a Spark Assisted Chemical Engraving system with force feedback control
(2023-12-01)
Spark Assisted Chemical Engraving is a hybrid micromachining method capable of machining micro-holes and micro-channels on non-conductive substrates. This thesis centers around the design of a mechatronics system for ...
Robust multi-group multicast beamforming design and antenna selection for massive MIMO systems
(2023-04-01)
In this dissertation, we use an Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) algorithm to design robust multi-group multicast beamforming scheme for massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems for two ...
Neutronic characterization of a Molybdenum-99-producing CANDU fuel bundle and implications for reactivity-device worth and refuelling strategies
(2023-08-01)
Operating CANDU reactors can potentially produce significant quantities of Molybdenum-99 due to their ability to be refuelled online, high thermal neutron flux and fuel-design flexibility. A Molybdenum-producing bundle ...
Assessing the behaviour of solid particulates in the flow of molten salt reactor coolant circuits
(2023-04-01)
This work investigated solid particulate behaviour in molten salt nuclear reactors. Solid particulates are expected to form from fission products reacting with fuel components, creating compounds with melting temperatures ...
Sidewalk extraction using deep learning and cost-based route optimization with mini-max objective function
(2023-12-01)
With the growing diversification of modern urban transportation options, such as small-scale autonomous delivery vehicles, autonomous patrol robots, e-bikes, and e-scooters, sidewalks have gained newfound importance as ...
A proof of principle nuclear forensics technique for determining ²³⁵U enrichment from UF₆ steel cylinders
(2023-12-01)
Non-proliferation of nuclear materials depends on international regulations and the inspection tools available to safeguard inspectors for ensuring adherence to international treaties such as the Non-Proliferation Treaty ...
Investigation of integrated energy systems with carbon capturing and chemical looping units for hydrogen, methane and methanol production
(2023-11-01)
This study investigates three multigeneration systems designed for hydrogen generation through chemical looping, incorporating an amine-based carbon dioxide capture subsystem. These systems consist of a solar tower heating ...
Categories in control systems software: toward a unified theory of programming & control
(2023-12-01)
Category theory is applied to the design and modeling of control systems application software with emphasis on feedback control. The language of application is iso standard C++17, though the design is abstract and can be ...
A universal centralized protection scheme for feeders of AC microgrids using IEC-61869-9 digital instrument transformers
(2023-10-01)
This thesis underscores the escalating importance of microgrids powered by renewable energy sources and inverters in modern power systems. Despite offering significant environmental and economic advantages, their decentralized ...
Improving binary optimization algorithms using genuine uniform initialization
(2023-12-01)
Population-based metaheuristic algorithms play a crucial role in solving complex optimization problems. The effectiveness of these algorithms is significantly influenced by the initial population of candidate solutions. ...
