Comparative economic analysis of conventional and plug-in battery electric vehicles in Canada
(2022-12-01)
Conventional vehicles typically use gasoline for their internal combustion engines (ICEs). On the other hand, plug-in battery electric vehicles (PBEVs) use electricity to charge their batteries, so they do not need gasoline. ...
Dynamic fuzzy reliability and safety assessment of passive safety systems in small modular reactors
(2023-04-01)
Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) have garnered significant interest in recent years, and they may play an essential role in the future of energy supply and power generation. One major advantage associated with SMRs is their ...
Decommissioning considerations for molten salt type reactors
(2023-05-01)
Molten salt type small modular reactors are presently being developed as an option for providing electricity and alternative energy forms. The current proposed designs do not document how decommissioning will be addressed. ...
Effect of self-excited acoustic perturbations on flow characteristics around rectangular cylinders with varied geometrical aspects
(2023-08-01)
This study explores the effects of aspect ratio, edge geometry and incidence angles on the dynamic lift force, wake behaviors, and the susceptibility of such geometrical aspects to self-excited acoustic resonance in ...
Detector positioning in a field-deployable limited-angle gamma ray emission tomography system
(2023-08-01)
Imaging techniques have been part of the medical and industrial fields for more than a century due to their simple use in the inspection of internal parameters without sample damage. These methods take advantage of the ...
Effects of the geometric modifications on the shear layer excitation source in co-axial side branches
(2023-08-01)
This comprehensive study delves into the interaction between shear layer oscillations and the acoustic field within co-axial cavities, spotlighting the efficacy of the sound source model as a reliable semi-empirical modeling ...
Intention prediction of pedestrians in challenging weather conditions using deep learning
(2023-08-01)
Assisted and automated driving vehicles have received massive attention over the past few years from the research community to make our roads safer. In this thesis, we introduce a framework for predicting the intention of ...
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 ...
A proof of principle nuclear forensics technique for determining ²³⁵U enrichment from UF₆ steel cylinders
(2023-12-01)
Non-proliferation of nuclear materials depends on international regulations and the inspection tools available to safeguard inspectors for ensuring adherence to international treaties such as the Non-Proliferation Treaty ...
A universal centralized protection scheme for feeders of AC microgrids using IEC-61869-9 digital instrument transformers
(2023-10-01)
This thesis underscores the escalating importance of microgrids powered by renewable energy sources and inverters in modern power systems. Despite offering significant environmental and economic advantages, their decentralized ...
