Towards sustainable machining of difficult-to-cut materials using nano-cutting fluids
(2018-05-01)
Providing environmentally friendly conditions and optimizing energy consumption are two essential requirements in order to achieve sustainable machining processes. One of the major sustainable machining concerns is the ...
Intelligent integration of prosumers with battery energy storage in smart distribution systems using optimal design and a transactive energy framework
(2018-06-01)
A legacy electric power distribution system is characterized by a unidirectional power flow from centralized power plants to customers. The role of these customers has been known for many years as power consumers and not ...
Experimental investigation of an integrated solar driven wastewater treatment system for trigeneration applications
(2018-08-01)
Hydrogen is a promising alternative as an energy carrier (and carbon-free fuel) to meet the global power demand. Hydrogen production systems can efficiently harvest energy from renewable sources. Even though photo-electrochemical ...
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 ...
Power-optimal MIMO two-way relay networks
(2018-04-01)
In this dissertation, we study MIMO two-way relay networks consisting of singleantenna users which wish to exchange information with the help of multiple multiantenna relays. The problem we aim to solve is to minimize the ...
Design and development of advanced control techniques for an unmanned ground vehicle
(2018-11-01)
Recent years have seen considerable progress towards the goal of autonomous and unmanned ground vehicles which became essential for conducting military operations. These autonomous vehicles have the capability to operate ...
Access control obligation specification and enforcement using behavior pattern language
(2018-01-01)
Increasing the use of Internet-based devices offers novel opportunities for users
to access and share resources anywhere and anytime so that such a collaborative
environment complicates the design of an accountable ...
Development and investigation of integrated solar systems for hydrogen and methanol production
(2018-04-01)
Implications of climate change, in particular the negative effects of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions resulting from fossil fuel combustion, as well as the finite nature of fossil fuels necessitate the implementation of ...
Pushing the limits of traditional unsupervised learning
(2018-08-01)
Unsupervised learning has important applications in extremely large data settings such as in medical, biological, social, and environmental data. Typically in these settings, copious amounts of data are collected, with the ...
Analysis and design of computationally efficient modulation schemes for Three Phase Three Switch rectifier for transportation electrification
(2018-02-01)
It is a well-known fact that the transportation sector emits a large amount of pollutants to the atmosphere. The growing need for reducing the carbon footprint has led to sincere efforts being made in the direction of ...
