Comprehensive Investigation on Content-based Medical Image Retrieval using Radon Barcodes
(2019-12-01)Content Based Medical Image Retrieval (CBMIR) systems are vital to the underlying operation of medical databases because they allow quick search and retrieval of medical images. Radon Barcode (RBC)s are binary complementary ... -
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 ... -
Computational and laboratory investigations of a model of blood droplet flight for forensic applications
(2012-09-01)We present a three-dimensional, forward model of blood droplets in ight. The proposed model is based on a set of ordinary di erential equations (ODEs) incorporating viscous drag and gravitational forces. We validate the ... -
Computational and laboratory investigations of a model of blood droplet flight for forensic applications
(2014-01-01)Game developers strive to maximize immersion and engagement, to emotionally involve the audience in their material. One technique used to increase engagement is the development of new technologies, such as Stereoscopic ... -
Computational fluid dynamic investigations of flow through an aged CANDU pressure tube
(2021-08-01)Single-phase, isothermal computational fluid dynamics simulations of twelve simplified CANDUTM 37M fuel bundles sitting in both as-received and aged pressure tubes were performed with Hydra in this work. The predicted ... -
A Computational Fluid Dynamics based model that predicts wall shear stress in CANDU outlet feeder pipes
(2018-01-01)Wall thinning of carbon steel in CANDU reactor outlet feeder pipes due to Flow Accelerated Corrosion (FAC) is identified as one of the challenges for CANDU reactors since it would force them to shut down due to safety ... -
Computational methods for medical image registration
(2021-04-01)A significant amount of research has been dedicated to the improvement of techniques in the field of medical image analysis. Imaging modalities have been improved and new acquisition methods have been introduced to reveal ... -
Computational studies of semiflexible polymer translocation in nanopore systems
(2019-08-01)The translocation of double stranded DNA (dsDNA) through nanopore systems is a field with rich physics and many promising technological applications. Double stranded DNA is not fully flexible, and the translocation dynamics ... -
Conceptual design for a re-entrant type fuel channel for supercritical water-cooled nuclear reactors
(2011-04-01)Current CANDU-type nuclear reactors use a once-through fuel-channel with an annulus gas insulating it from the moderator. The current reference design for a CANDU-type SuperCritical Water-Cooled Reactor (SCWR) is to eliminate ... -
Conceptual design of a thermal hydraulic loop for multiple test geometries at supercritical conditions named supercritical phenomena experimental test apparatus (SPETA)
(2012-04-01)The efficiency of nuclear reactors can be improved by increasing the operating pressure of current nuclear reactors. Current CANDU-type nuclear reactors use heavy water as coolant at an outlet pressure of up to 11.5 MPa. ... -
Conceptual development and analysis of multiple integrated hydrogen production plants with Cu-Cl cycle
(2016-12-01)This thesis develops and analyzes four hydrogen production integrated energy systems, where hydrogen is produced via hybrid electrical and thermochemical water decomposition cycle, based on the chemical couple Cu-Cl. The ... -
Conceptual development and analysis of sustainable powering options for hybrid vehicles
(2018-02-01)Hydrogen and ammonia are the carbon-free fuels that have the potential to replace the fossil fuels in the near future. In addition, they can also act as energy carriers and storage media for many applications; particularly ... -
