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 ...
Determining fuzzy link quality membership functions in wireless sensor networks
(2014-04-01)
Wireless Sensor Network routing protocols rely on the estimation of the quality of the links between nodes to determine a suitable path from the data source nodes to a data-collecting node. Several link estimators have ...
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 ...
Performance analysis of gas turbine cogeneration systems.
(2014-06-01)
Cogeneration is a highly efficient approach to generating electricity and process heat
from the same fuel source. It is an approach of utilizing waste energy products for a
useful purpose that significantly improves the ...
Passive methods for suppressing acoustic resonance excitation in shallow rectangular cavities.
(2014-08-01)
The flow-excited acoustic resonance in shallow rectangular cavities can be a source of severe noise and/or excessive vibration. This phenomenon is excited when one of the acoustic modes in the accommodating enclosure is ...
Joint channel pairing and power allocation optimization in two-way multichannel relaying.
(2014-08-01)
We consider two-way amplify-and-forward relaying in a multichannel system with two
end nodes and a single relay, using a two-slot multi-access broadcast (MABC) as well as
time-division broadcast (TDBC) relaying strategies. ...
System for evaluating effects of immersion in molten copper chloride salts on corrosion resistant coatings
(2014-12-01)
Hydrogen, as one of the best alternative energy carrier candidates, is easier to sustain than fossil fuel. Hydrogen demand has significantly increased as a clean energy carrier. The Cu-Cl cycle is one of the capable ...
Experimental study of turbulent boundary layer flows over forward facing steps with different surface conditions.
(2014-09-01)
This thesis is a fundamental study that was conducted experimentally to investigate the
effects of different surface types on turbulent flows over forward facing steps. A particle
image velocimetry technique was employed ...
Design and development of side underride protection devices (SUPD) for heavy vehicles
(2014-04-01)
There exists a large mismatch between the bumper of a passenger vehicle and the ground clearance of heavy vehicles. During collisions between the car and the side of the heavy vehicle, a large amount of intrusion is observed ...
Learning image enhancement and object localization using evolutionary algorithms
(2014-03-01)
Imaging and image processing have been used in variety of applications, such as medical,
astronomy, forensic, and industry. Numerous techniques have been proposed to solve
speci c problems faced in particular applications ...
