Experimental investigation of a catalyst under various solar light conditions for hydrogen production.
(2013-09-01)
The light absorption characteristics of the photocatalyst {[Ru(bpy)2(dpp)]2RhBr2}5+ and
the photochemical Ru(bpy)2(dpp)2+ is investigated. Extinction coefficient versus
wavelength is determined for both a low intensity ...
Development of truck tire-terrain finite element analysis models.
(2013-12-01)
Heavy vehicles require tires which can withstand extreme loads while maintaining control,
delivering performance and minimizing fuel consumption, particularly on soft soils. Recent
advances in finite element analysis and ...
Experimental and theoretical investigations of a new integrated solar tower system for photocatalytic hydrogen and power production
(2013-08-01)
Solar energy conversion via photocatalytic hydrogen production from water is an attractive route for the propagation of a hydrogen economy. Increasing the efficiency of such systems to meet the target of 10% is essential ...
Design synthesis of car-trailer systems with active trailer differential braking strategies.
(2013-08-01)
To this date, various control strategies based on linear vehicle models have been proposed and developed for improving the lateral stability of car trailer (CT) systems. Is a linear-model-based controller applicable to ...
An interactive and context-driven approach to mobile decision support services
(2013-08-01)
This thesis introduces a new approach to service sophistication where the users with no
prior knowledge about a public domain's list of services can conveniently and e ectively
use those services in companion with complementary ...
Development, analysis and life cycle assessment of integrated systems for hydrogen production based on the copper-chlorine (Cu-Cl) cycle
(2013-08-01)
The energy carrier hydrogen is expected to help solve many energy challenges we are facing today. Thermochemical water splitting using a Cu-Cl cycle, linked with renewable energy sources and/or the Generation IV nuclear ...
Correlation and real time classification of physiological streams for critical care monitoring.
(2013-12-01)
This thesis presents a framework for the deployment of algorithms that support the correlation and real-time classification of physiological data streams through the development of clinically meaningful alerts using a blend ...
Compressive sensing based non-destructive testing using ultrasonic arrays.
(2013-08-01)
In this thesis, we apply compressive sensing approach and the notion of sparse signal
recovery to the non-destructive testing application, using ultrasonic arrays. In many
signal processing applications including array ...
Infrastructure for secure medical image sharing between distributed PACS and DI-r systems.
(2013-12-01)
Recent developments in information and communication technologies and their incor-
poration into the medical domain have opened doors for the enhancement of health care
services and thereby increasing the work
ow at a ...
Model predictive control of a thermoelectric-based heat pump.
(2013-12-01)
Government regulations and growing concerns regarding global warming has
lead to an increasing number of passenger vehicles on the roads today that are not
powered by the conventional internal combustion (IC) engine. ...
