Extending the relational model with constraint satisfaction
(2021-01-01)
We propose a new approach to data driven constraint programming. By extending the relational model to handle constraints and variables as first class citizens, we are able to express first order logic SAT problems using ...
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 ...
Coded caching for cache-aided communication and computing with nonuniform demands
(2021-10-01)
In this dissertation, we consider the caching system of multiple cache-enabled users with nonuniform demands. We thoroughly characterize the structure of the optimal cache placement of the coded caching scheme (CCS).We ...
Experimental investigation and modeling of integrated tri-generation systems.
(2013-09-01)
Energy demand in the world is increasing with population growth and higher living standards. Today, the need for energy requires a focus on renewable sources without abandoning fossil fuels. Efficient use of energy is one ...
Modeling, analysis and optimization of integrated energy systems for multigeneration purposes
(2013-08-01)
Energy use is directly linked to well-being and prosperity across the world. Meeting the growing demand for energy in a safe and environmentally responsible manner is an important challenge. There are around seven billion ...
Analysis, assessment and optimization of integrated solar energy systems for multigeneration
(2014-12-01)
The extensive usage of fossil fuel in most of human activities has led to the undesirable effects on the environment starting from global warming and greenhouse effects to the climate changes, acid rain and others. Renewable ...
Model based simulation of broaching operation: cutting mechanics, surface integrity, and process optimization
(2013-04-01)
Machining operations are widely used to produce parts with different shapes
and complicated profiles. As a machining operation, broaching is commonly used
for the machining of a broad range of complex internal and external ...
Development and analysis of alternative thermochemical cycles for hydrogen production
(2021-12-01)
Production of carbon-free fuels as alternatives for fossil fuels is a promising approach for controlling climate change and global warming. Hydrogen is considered as the key energy carrier of the future when it is produced ...
A robust and efficient autonomous exploration methodology of unknown environments for multi-robot systems
(2022-05-01)
Multi-robot systems can provide effective solutions for exploring and inspecting environments where it is unpractical or unsafe for humans, however, adequate coordination of the multi-robot system is a challenging initiative. ...
Optimization of residential buildings and renewable energy integration in small island developing states: the Bahamas as a case study
(2017-08-01)
An optimization approach is used to assess the energy performance and design of residential homes in The Bahamas with the goal of providing objective data for policy makers to achieve the sustainability goals in the country. ...
