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 ...
Analysis and optimization of fuel cell based integrated powering systems for clean rail applications
(2019-08-01)
In this thesis, proposals of novel integrated fuel cell powering systems for cleaner railway applications are presented and analyzed thermodynamically. Both energy and exergy analyses are conducted on these systems for ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Design automation and QoS requirements preservation for multiprocessor embedded systems
(2019-07-01)
The number of processors is increasing in embedded systems but the usefulness of parallel computation is not better leveraged due to the inflexibility of design and implementation for multiprocessor embedded system ...
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 a hydrogen production process through aluminum and water chemical reaction
(2019-12-01)
This thesis reported a novel hydrogen production experimental set up, which utilized the chemical reaction between aluminum and water to produce hydrogen. The constructed experimental setup had an aluminum powder spraying ...
