Haptic controls in cars for safer driving
(2011-06-01)
With the spread of latest state of the art technologies geared towards utilization of the human senses, haptic technologies have been introduced as a way of utilising the sense of touch to either solve real world problems ...
User aid-based evolutionary computation for optimal parameter setting of image enhancement and segmentation
(2011-12-01)
Applications of imaging and image processing become a part of our daily life
and find their crucial way in real-world areas. Accordingly, the corresponding
techniques get more and more complicated.
Many tasks are ...
Detection of covert channel communications based on intentionally corrupted frame check sequences
(2011-07-01)
This thesis presents the establishment of a covert-channel in wireless networks in the form
of frames with intentionally corrupted Frame Check Sequences (FCSs). Previous works had
alluded to the possibility of using this ...
Novel opposition-based sampling methods for efficiently solving challenging optimization problems
(2011-04-01)
In solving noise-free and noisy optimization problems, candidate initialization and sampling
play a key role, but are not deeply investigated. It is of interest to know if the entire
search space has the same quality for ...
Experimental investigation of an R134a based organic Rankine cycle
(2011-08-01)
This thesis research aims to develop an improved, efficient, low-capacity heat engine, running
on an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) to generate power. The ORC is driven by low or
moderate temperature heat sources, such as; ...
CBPsp: complex business processes for stream processing
(2011-04-01)
This thesis presents the framework of a complex business process driven event
stream processing system to produce meaningful output with direct implications to the
business objectives of an organization. This framework is ...
Effective design of multiplexing network for applications in communications satellites
(2011-07-01)
Microwave multiplexing networks are widely used in satellite communication systems. Their performances, such as the insertion loss and rejection between channels, are extremely critical. This research aims at effective ...
Design and optimization of a three-fingered robot hand
(2011-04-01)
Humanoid robots have proven to be very useful and could revolutionize the way humans
live. Knowing human anatomy and behaviour helps improve a robotic mechanisms
ability to perform human tasks. The following thesis introduces ...
Experimental investigation of scroll based organic Rankine systems
(2011-04-01)
In this thesis, an experimental research is conducted on scroll-based Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) focusing on the expansion process. An important feature of the ORC is the ability to utilize low or moderate temperature ...
Energy ans exergy analysis of biomass co-firing in pulverized coal power generation
(2011-04-01)
Biomass co-firing with coal exhibits great potential for large scale utilization of biomass
energy in the near future. In the present work, energy and exergy analyses are carried out
for a co-firing based power generation ...
