Hot particle dosimetry using a wall-less tissue equivalent proportional counter
(2023-05-01)
Highly radioactive specks of irradiated nuclear fuel or activated material, colloquially known as 'hot particles', can enter the workplace or external environment from nuclear power plant operations such as refurbishment ...
Machining of additively manufactured titanium Ti-6Al-4V; cutting forces and chip morphology
(2023-04-01)
This thesis studies the machining of additively manufactured (AM) titanium Ti-6Al-4V and presents a model to determine Johnson Cook (J-C) constitutive parameters from complex machining processes through numerical modeling ...
Waste collection & street-sweeping route optimization using a 2-stage cluster algorithm & heuristic approaches
(2023-04-01)
Waste collection and street-sweeping play a vital role in public health, safety, and overall cleanliness. Since these processes cannot be ignored, they should be done in an efficient manner. The following thesis proposes ...
Modelling of radioactive particle resuspension after a dirty bomb event
(2023-12-01)
The primary hazard of a Dirty Bomb emanates not from the initial detonation but from the subsequent re-suspension of deposited radioactive particles. Although radiological contamination is substantial on surfaces initially, ...
Energy aware scheduling using reinforcement learning for 802.15.4e Time-Slotted Channel Hopping
(2023-11-01)
Time Slotted Channel Hopping (TSCH) is a medium access control mode defined in IEEE 802.15.4e standard. This protocol is a crucial component of fourth-generation IoT applications, enabling efficient communication through ...
Improving classification system to detect cyclic alternation pattern using sleep EEG
(2023-08-01)
Cyclic alternative patterns (CAP) became an important tool to diagnose sleep disorders. This study aims to have a better understanding of CAP, as the clinical applications remain limited as CAP analysis is a time-consuming ...
Characterization of flow control using programmable multi-directional plasma actuators
(2023-09-01)
This research explores the use of a novel plasma actuator geometry and electrical configuration to generate directionally programmable flow fields near the surface of arrays of such plasma actuators. Plasma actuators are ...
The aeroacoustics response and shear layer dynamics of confined cavities subject to low Mach number turbulent flow
(2023-04-01)
Cavities exposed to low Mach number flow in various engineering applications are often liable for generating flow-excited acoustic oscillations, resulting in large acoustic amplitudes and vibrations. This compromises the ...
Test case prioritization using transfer learning in continuous integration environments
(2023-04-01)
Continuous integration (CI) systems use automated tests to verify software builds and optimize the testing process through test case prioritization (TCP). Recent research studies on TCP in CI environments have employed ...
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 ...
