Infrastructure for secure medical image sharing between distributed PACS and DI-r systems.
(2013-12-01)
Recent developments in information and communication technologies and their incor-
poration into the medical domain have opened doors for the enhancement of health care
services and thereby increasing the work
ow at a ...
Enhancing roll stability and directional performance of articulated heavy vehicles based on anti-roll control and design optimization.
(2011-10-01)
This research presents an investigation to actively improve the rollover stability of articulated heavy vehicles (AHVs) during high speed manoeuvres using anti-roll control systems. A 3-dimensional (3-D) linear yaw/roll ...
Model predictive control of a thermoelectric-based heat pump.
(2013-12-01)
Government regulations and growing concerns regarding global warming has
lead to an increasing number of passenger vehicles on the roads today that are not
powered by the conventional internal combustion (IC) engine. ...
Multi-antenna relay network beamforming design for multiuser peer-to-peer communications.
(2014-08-01)
In this work, we consider a multi-user peer-to-peer relay network with multiple multiantenna
relays which employ amplify-and-forward relaying protocol. Assuming distributed
relay beamforming strategy, we investigate the ...
Design optimization of aerodynamic drag at the rear of generic passenger cars using nurbs representation
(2013-05-01)
The rear geometry of a passenger car has the most significant influence on its aerodynamic characteristics. This thesis studied aerodynamic shape optimization of the rear geometry of passenger cars. The Non-uniform rational ...
Design and implementation process for controls integration using CAN bus on a full function electric vehicle conversion
(2014-03-01)
From the electrical engineering perspective, this thesis addresses the design and
implementation of the conversion process from a hybrid electric to a full function electric
vehicle (FFEV). The architecture selection process ...
Micro-differential evolution: diversity enhancement and comparative study.
(2014-08-01)
Evolutionary algorithms (EAs), such as the differential evolution (DE) algorithm, suffer
from high computational time due to large population size and nature of evaluation, to
mention two major reasons. The micro-EAs employ ...
Real time safety verification in the process industry using fault semantic networks (FSN)
(2013-08-01)
In the process industry, there are uncertainties associated with each variable, which might lead to process deviations and hazards. In order to accurately quantify the risks associated with these hazard scenarios, quantitative ...
Comparative study of ammonia-based clean rail transportation systems for Greater Toronto area
(2014-04-01)
Ammonia as a transportation fuel offers a carbon-free, hydrogen rich energy source
that emits no greenhouse gases in combustion, and has no global warming potential.
Furthermore, it may be produced from any renewable ...
Publish-subscribe based middleware for heterogeneous critical infrastructure systems communication.
(2014-07-01)
Critical Infrastructures (CIs) are physical assets and organizations responsible for the production and distribution of society’s vital goods and services. The increasing interconnection of CIs has resulted in interdependencies ...
