Autonomous driving control strategies for multi-trailer articulated heavy vehicles with active safety system
(2023-05-01)
This study aims to develop automated driving strategies and integrated active control system for multi-trailer articulated heavy vehicles (MTAHVs) to enhance road transport efficiency, directional performance, and safety. ...
Investigation and use of dual (twin) low pressure proportional counters for active neutron-gamma mixed field dosimetry
(2023-05-01)
This thesis tackles accurate neutron-gamma mixed field dosimetry in radiation protection and radiation biology. While passive dosimeters are suitable for measuring low radiation levels, active instruments are necessary in ...
Experimental and numerical investigation of the flow structures at the rear of three-dimensional bluff bodies
(2023-05-01)
Flows around bluff bodies have complex structures, which create drag, surface contamination and stability issues for transportation systems. The standard Ahmed body (SAB) is a simplified representative three-dimensional ...
Investigation into the stability of low-inertia micro-grids
(2023-05-01)
This work examines the stability of low inertia micro-grids (MGs). The lack of inertia in such power electronics dominated grid is a pressing matter that directly impacts its operation and stability. The investigated MG ...
Exploring the relationships between year of eligibility, self-perceptions and training behaviour in varsity student-athletes
(2023-06-01)
Although there is much research on the experiences and academic accomplishments of student-athletes, less work has focused on factors influencing training and performance outcomes among varsity student-athletes. This study ...
An optimization-based approach to image fusion using structural similarity
(2023-05-01)
This thesis examines a framework for solving optimization problems involving structural similarity index measure Mean. Image fusion involves combining multiple images to preserve their most desirable characteristics. The ...
An investigation into Manganese(2+) interferences and retrospective dose assessment of shelled species using EPR spectroscopy
(2023-05-01)
High intensity Mn²⁺ peaks in calcified tissues of shells are known to impact the lower dose detection limit in retrospective electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) studies. This thesis investigates the factors causing Mn²⁺ ...
Design of a residential air source heat pump for extremely cold climates
(2023-05-01)
Air source heat pumps are energy efficient systems suitable for space heating applications, however, their performance drastically degrades in low ambient temperatures. An innovative design is proposed in this thesis that ...
Error estimation for single-image human body mesh reconstruction
(2023-05-01)
Human pose and shape estimation methods continue to suffer in situations where one or more parts of the body are occluded. More importantly, these methods cannot express when their predicted pose is incorrect. This has ...
Efficient design of reconfigurable intelligent surface assisted multi-group multicast beamforming
(2023-09-01)
This thesis considers a multi-group multicasting scenario facilitated by a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS). We propose low-complexity scalable algorithms for the joint design of the base station (BS) multicast ...
