Sparse signal representation based algorithms with application to ultrasonic array imaging
(2016-06-01)
We address one- and two-layer ultrasonic array imaging. We use an array of transducers to inspect the internal structure of a given specimen. In the case of one-layer imaging we also address the problem of mode conversion. ...
A framework of image processing for image-guided procedures
(2016-07-01)
Contrary to the cases of open surgery, during minimally invasive procedures,
surgeons have no direct access or very limited access to the operative site and
can only visualize the site and the focal region with the aid of ...
User behavior pattern based security provisioning for distributed systems
(2016-01-01)
Behaviors of authorized users must be monitored and controlled due to the rise
of insider threats. Security analysts in large distributed systems are overwhelmed
by the number of system users, the complexity and changing ...
Performance improvement for robotic mechanisms by: synthesis design, dynamic balancing and adaptive control techniques
(2016-05-01)
Robotics have been used in many arenas, such as manufacturing, medical, and space. Currently, the use of robotics is limited with respect to performance capabilities. Improving the performance of robotic mechanisms is a ...
Transactive energy control of electric energy storage to mitigate the impact of transportation electrification in distribution systems
(2016-11-01)
The adoption of Plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) as a substitute to gasoline-based
internal combustion engine vehicles represent a major change in the transportation
sector. Typically, PEVs uses electricity to charge the ...
Uncertainty quantification for safety verification applications in nuclear power plants
(2016-11-01)
There is an increasing interest in computational reactor safety analysis to systematically replace the conservative calculations by best estimate calculations augmented by quantitative uncertainty analysis methods. This ...
Analysis of the thermal hydraulics of a multiphase oxygen production reactor in the Cu-Cl cycle
(2016-06-01)
In the thermochemical water splitting process by Cu-Cl cycle, oxygen gas is produced by an endothermic thermolysis process in a three-phase reactor. In this thesis, the required heat for the thermolysis process is provided ...
Data analysis in electric power system embedded with solar PVs
(2016)
Conventional source of energy are overly dependent on fossil fuel which tend to face several challenges such as the depleting of fossil fuel, environmental threat and human health. To deal with such challenges, solar PV ...
Design and implementation of a component-based distributed system for text mining in social networks
(2016)
This report presents the design and implementation of a component-based distributed system for text mining in social networks. The system consists of three main types of components, data collection, data processing and ...
