Design and development of a parallel Proof of Work for permissionless blockchain systems
(2019-04-01)
Blockchain, which is the underlying technology for the Bitcoin cryptocurrency, is a distributed ledger forming a decentralized consensus in a peer-to-peer network. A large number of the current cryptocurrencies use blockchain ...
Investigation of drying conditions for dental practice loads
(2019-04-01)
This thesis investigates different drying techniques for dental practice loads experimentally and numerically. Several experiments are carried out by changing both top and bottom wall temperatures while changing the ranges ...
Customized topology optimization for additive manufacturing
(2019-08-01)
One of the biggest limitations of additive manufacturing (AM) is the resulting production times. Due to the layer-based method of material deposition, the time to produce a single part is substantial compared to techniques ...
Design and development of hydrophobic and protective polymer-based spray coatings for treating glass surfaces in building and automotive applications
(2019-08-01)
Glass surfaces in buildings and vehicles are susceptible to two common problems: unrestricted energy transmittance of light-waves resulting in increased HVAC costs, and reduced visibility as a consequence of wetting during ...
Active transport and concentration of analytes in microfluidic paper based analytical devices using ion concentration polarization
(2019-04-01)
Microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (µPADs) have a high potential for miniaturizing complex testing functions, since they are inexpensive, disposable, and portable. Paper has the advantage over traditional fluid ...
Time-efficient offloading and execution of machine learning tasks between embedded systems and fog nodes
(2019-12-01)
As embedded systems become more prominent in society, it is important that the technologies that run on them must be used efficiently. One such technology is the Neural Network (NN). NN's, combined with the Internet of ...
Deep learning methods applied to anomaly detection in vehicle manufacturing and operations
(2019-09-01)
As one of the most common modes of transportation, vehicles are very closely related to our lives. As a result, safety is an important issue in both vehicle production process and vehicle operations. Recently, unmanned ...
Risk-modeling tools for designing resilient micro energy grids
(2019-03-01)
Micro energy grid (MEG) is widely used to meet the combined electricity, heating, cooling and natural gas demands for numerous customers’ types. Design of MEGs were extensively introduced in numerous articles, however ...
Development and modeling of novel battery thermal management systems for electric and hybrid electric vehicles
(2019-04-01)
Thermal management system is necessary to control the operating temperature of the lithium ion batteries in battery packs for electrical and hybrid electrical vehicles. This thesis studies, develops and models novel battery ...
An AFE based embedded system for physiological computing
(2019-11-01)
The present hospital-based health care system will be burdened because of the growing aging population. Aging and stress result in cardiovascular diseases that cost around seventeen million lives globally every year. To ...
