Analysis and techniques of cyberattack types classification in smart grids
(2023-09-01)
The smart electric grids rely on integrating the information and communication technologies (ICT) into the electric power grid infrastructure to facilitate the exchange of information for an enhanced and economic operation. ...
Optimizing electrocardiogram analysis for efficient heart condition diagnosis
(2023-09-01)
This thesis introduces an innovative lead grouping strategy for efficient real-time Electrocardiography signal classification. This method uses a maximum of six leads instead of the traditional 12-lead approach, leading ...
Test case prioritization using transfer learning in continuous integration environments
(2023-04-01)
Continuous integration (CI) systems use automated tests to verify software builds and optimize the testing process through test case prioritization (TCP). Recent research studies on TCP in CI environments have employed ...
An investigation into Manganese(2+) interferences and retrospective dose assessment of shelled species using EPR spectroscopy
(2023-05-01)
High intensity Mn²⁺ peaks in calcified tissues of shells are known to impact the lower dose detection limit in retrospective electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) studies. This thesis investigates the factors causing Mn²⁺ ...
Design of a residential air source heat pump for extremely cold climates
(2023-05-01)
Air source heat pumps are energy efficient systems suitable for space heating applications, however, their performance drastically degrades in low ambient temperatures. An innovative design is proposed in this thesis that ...
Modelling of radioactive particle resuspension after a dirty bomb event
(2023-12-01)
The primary hazard of a Dirty Bomb emanates not from the initial detonation but from the subsequent re-suspension of deposited radioactive particles. Although radiological contamination is substantial on surfaces initially, ...
Energy aware scheduling using reinforcement learning for 802.15.4e Time-Slotted Channel Hopping
(2023-11-01)
Time Slotted Channel Hopping (TSCH) is a medium access control mode defined in IEEE 802.15.4e standard. This protocol is a crucial component of fourth-generation IoT applications, enabling efficient communication through ...
Sidewalk extraction using deep learning and cost-based route optimization with mini-max objective function
(2023-12-01)
With the growing diversification of modern urban transportation options, such as small-scale autonomous delivery vehicles, autonomous patrol robots, e-bikes, and e-scooters, sidewalks have gained newfound importance as ...
Improving classification system to detect cyclic alternation pattern using sleep EEG
(2023-08-01)
Cyclic alternative patterns (CAP) became an important tool to diagnose sleep disorders. This study aims to have a better understanding of CAP, as the clinical applications remain limited as CAP analysis is a time-consuming ...
Characterization of flow control using programmable multi-directional plasma actuators
(2023-09-01)
This research explores the use of a novel plasma actuator geometry and electrical configuration to generate directionally programmable flow fields near the surface of arrays of such plasma actuators. Plasma actuators are ...
