Design and development of a novel DC/DC bidirectional converter with dual solar/PV-based snow removal and EV charging functionality
(2022-02-01)
Different factors affect solar photovoltaic (PV) systems by decreasing input energy and reducing the conversion efficiency of the system. One of these factors is the effect of snow cover on PV panels, a subject lacking ...
Clustering analysis of lock contention fault types using run-time performance metrics for java intrinsic locks
(2022-02-01)
Locks are essential in java-based multi-threaded applications as this mechanism provides a proper solution to synchronizing shared resources. However, improper management of locks and threads can lead to contention; as a ...
Detecting road boundaries and drivable regions in challenging weather conditions
(2022-02-01)
Road detection is a core component of self-driving vehicle perception, where it covers detecting road boundaries and drivable road regions. It can also help human drivers to drive safely in lower visibility. The majority ...
A framework for anomalous activity analysis for intrusion detection with applications to IoT networks
(2022-04-01)
Computer systems have become an integral part of our daily lives. The Internet of Things (IoT) has recently attracted considerable attention in the information technology industry due to its various benefits. IoT activities ...
Modeling and experimental investigation of renewable energy and ammonia-based systems for carbon capturing and useful outputs
(2022-04-01)
This thesis work focuses on developing ammonia-based carbon capturing systems that produce useful chemical outputs to offset the energy penalty typically imposed by implementing a carbon capture retrofitting to a power ...
A framework for proactive fault tolerance in cloud-IoT applications
(2022-04-01)
Integrating Internet of Things (IoT) devices with the cloud has several benefits, including expanding local IoT resources and improving cloud-IoT application performance. Cloud computing can benefit from IoT devices and ...
A POMDP framework for antenna selection and user scheduling in multi-user massive MIMO systems
(2022-04-01)
We use a partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP) framework to design a resource allocation policy for downlink transmit beamforming at a multi-antenna BS that is equipped with a massive number of antennas and ...
Design and development of a traction motor emulator using a three-phase bidirectional buck-boost AC-DC converter
(2022-04-01)
An industrial drive testing, with a ‘real-machine’ can pave way, for some serious issues to test-bench, motor, and the operator. A slight disturbance in control logic amid testing, can damage the physical machine or drive. ...
Modeling and analysis of off-road tire cornering characteristics
(2022-05-01)
Cornering performance characteristics of wheeled vehicles substantially rely on the forces/moments generated from interactions between pneumatic tires and terrains. Accurate models are thus required to predict these ...
Design and evaluation of integrated waste to energy multigenerational systems
(2022-04-01)
This thesis study develops three renewable energy-based waste-to-energy multigeneration systems and examine them thermodynamically and economically. The first system uses solar-based energy and animal manure waste, and the ...
