Damping acoustic pressure pulsations in pipelines using Helmholtz resonators
(2019-05-01)In industrial piping systems, centrifugal and reciprocating turbomachinery generate acoustic pressure pulsations, which propagate into the pipeline and interact with piping components, potentially causing vibrations, ... -
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 ... -
Data curation with ontology functional dependences
(2017-04-01)Poor data quality has become a pervasive issue due to the increasing complexity and size of modern datasets. Functional dependencies have been used in existing cleaning solutions to model syntactic equivalence. They are ... -
Data hiding and detection in Office Open XML (OOXML) documents
(2011-03-01)With the rapid development and popularity of information technology, criminals and mischievous computer users are given avenues to commit crimes and malicious activities. One of the commonly used tactics, called steganography, ... -
Data mining occurrences of infectious diseases with SNOMED CT
(2013-05-01)Synonyms within SNOMED CT’s structure give meaning to the clinical terminology. The hypothesis in this thesis is that the number of synonyms of a disease within SNOMED CT can be used to predict the number of occurrences ... -
Decentralized state-space controller design of a large PHWR
(2009-11-01)The behaviour of a large nuclear reactor can be described with sufficient accuracy using a nodal model, like the spatial model of a 540 MWe large Pressurized Heavy Water Reactor (PHWR). This model divides the reactor into ... -
Deep learning approach to discontinuity-preserving image registration
(2020-05-01)Image registration is an indispensable tool in medical image analysis. Traditionally, registration algorithms are aimed at aligning image pairs using regularizers to impose smoothness restrictions on unknown deformation ... -
A deep learning approach to focal cortical dysplasia segmentation in children with medically intractable epilepsy
(2021-08-01)Paediatric epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders and has major impact on the cognition and quality of life of children. Focal Cortical Dysplasia (FCD) is one of the most common causes of medically ... -
Deep learning for islanding detection of grid-connected photovoltaic systems
(2021-01-01)Over the past decade, the integration of renewable-based distribution energy resources within the smart distribution system has been steadily growing. Despite the numerous advantages of integrating these renewable energy ... -
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 ... -
Deep transfer-learning based lithium-ion battery fault diagnosis
(2022-08-01)Fault detection in lithium-ion batteries (LiB) is paramount to ensuring the long life and proper functioning of the batteries. To that end, this thesis proposes a combined fault diagnosis framework that leverages voltage ... -
Defect detection using 3D computed tomography images and application on nuclear power plants
(2022-12-01)Tools used in nuclear power plant (NPP) inspection are required to be inspected before and after use on a reactor to check their integrity. To address the long duration required for manual inspection, non-destructive testing ... -
Defining inclusive education in India through the perspectives of educators
(2017)This project investigates how policies and teaching practices in India affect educators’ definitions of inclusive education. Eight educators from private schools in India participated in open, semi-structured interviews ... -
Depletant induced attractions in red blood cells
(2018-10-01)Red blood cells suspended in plasma are able to aggregate into linearly stacked rouleau. The aggregations can form complex clusters and branching networks which cause complications in various pathological cases. The self ... -
Design and analysis of a thermolysis reactor for scaled-up copper-chlorine hydrogen production cycle
(2017-12-01)Alternative hydrogen production methods are being explored with the goal of finding efficient and economical process. The copper-chlorine (Cu-Cl) cycle for hydrogen production has been the focus of the Clean Energy ... -
Design and analysis of a three degrees of freedom (DOF) parallel manipulator with decoupled motions
(2009-04-01)Parallel manipulators have been the subject of study of much robotic research during the past three decades. A parallel manipulator typically consists of a moving platform that is connected to a fixed base by at least two ... -
Design and analysis of active aerodynamic control systems for increasing the safety of high-speed road vehicles
(2019-07-01)The lateral stability and the safety of road vehicles is dependent on the vehicle design and operating conditions. Under operating conditions such as slippery roads, high lateral acceleration and tight cornering, the forces ... -
