Experimental investigation and analyses of continuous type hybrid photoelectrochemical hydrogen production systems
(2016-01-01)
Hydrogen is a highly versatile energy carrier that may become one of the key pillars to support the future CO2-free energy infrastructure. When used in fuel cells, H2 is converted to water and it gives little or zero exhaust ...
Transactive energy control of electric energy storage to mitigate the impact of transportation electrification in distribution systems
(2016-11-01)
The adoption of Plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) as a substitute to gasoline-based
internal combustion engine vehicles represent a major change in the transportation
sector. Typically, PEVs uses electricity to charge the ...
Uncertainty quantification for safety verification applications in nuclear power plants
(2016-11-01)
There is an increasing interest in computational reactor safety analysis to systematically replace the conservative calculations by best estimate calculations augmented by quantitative uncertainty analysis methods. This ...
Coordinated control of active safety systems for multi-trailer articulated heavy vehicles
(2016-06-01)
To improve the directional performance of multitrailer articulated heavy vehicles (MTAHVs), the
model-based active safety systems, including the active trailer steering, trailer differential braking
and the active roll ...
Analysis of the thermal hydraulics of a multiphase oxygen production reactor in the Cu-Cl cycle
(2016-06-01)
In the thermochemical water splitting process by Cu-Cl cycle, oxygen gas is produced by an endothermic thermolysis process in a three-phase reactor. In this thesis, the required heat for the thermolysis process is provided ...
User behavior pattern based security provisioning for distributed systems
(2016-01-01)
Behaviors of authorized users must be monitored and controlled due to the rise
of insider threats. Security analysts in large distributed systems are overwhelmed
by the number of system users, the complexity and changing ...
Performance improvement for robotic mechanisms by: synthesis design, dynamic balancing and adaptive control techniques
(2016-05-01)
Robotics have been used in many arenas, such as manufacturing, medical, and space. Currently, the use of robotics is limited with respect to performance capabilities. Improving the performance of robotic mechanisms is a ...
Experimental investigation and modeling of lithium-ion battery cells and packs for electric vehicles
(2016-01-01)
The greatest challenge in the production of future generation electric and hybrid vehicle (EV and HEV) technology is the control and management of operating temperatures and heat generation. Vehicle performance, reliability ...
Predicting Bitcoin: a robust model for predicting Bitcoin price directions based on network influencers
(2016-10-01)
The ability to predict financial markets has tremendous potential to limit exposure
to risk and provide better assurances of annualized gains. In this thesis, a
model for predicting the future daily price of Bitcoin is ...
Tissue segmentation using medical image processing chain optimization
(2016-08-01)
Surveyed literature shows many segmentation algorithms using different types of optimization methods. These methods were used to minimize or maximize objective functions of entropy, similarity, clustering, contour, or ...
