Sparse signal representation based algorithms with application to ultrasonic array imaging
(2016-06-01)
We address one- and two-layer ultrasonic array imaging. We use an array of transducers to inspect the internal structure of a given specimen. In the case of one-layer imaging we also address the problem of mode conversion. ...
Experimental and theoretical investigations of magnesium-chlorine cycle and its integrated systems
(2015-01-01)
This study aims to investigate the feasibility of the Mg-Cl hybrid thermochemical cycle and to develop a more cost and energy effective cycle. There are five key elements of this study: (i) modeling and simulation of the ...
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 ...
Assessing district energy systems performance integrated with multiple thermal energy storages.
(2013-08-01)
The goal of this study is to examine various energy resources in district energy (DE) systems and then DE system performance development by means of multiple thermal energy storages (TES) application. This study sheds light ...
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 ...
Development of polymer based nanocomposite using electrospinning for sound absorption and isolation
(2017-01-01)
Excessive noise has adverse effects on human health. Therefore, it is necessary to find innovative methods for decreasing the exposure to noise in the environment. Various materials are used for dampening noise. In order ...
Intelligent fault diagnosis of gearboxes and its applications on wind turbines
(2013-02-01)
The development of condition monitoring and fault diagnosis systems for wind turbines has received considerable attention in recent years. With wind playing an increasing part in Canada’s electricity demand from renewable ...
A framework of image processing for image-guided procedures
(2016-07-01)
Contrary to the cases of open surgery, during minimally invasive procedures,
surgeons have no direct access or very limited access to the operative site and
can only visualize the site and the focal region with the aid of ...
Investigation of factors that influence coloration in polycarbonate based compounded plastics
(2015-08-01)
Consistently producing compounded plastics in the correct colour without making
adjustments of the colour formulation or the processing conditions is very challenging for
coloured plastics manufacturers. Conversely, the ...
User behavior pattern based security provisioning for distributed systems
(2016-01-01)
Behaviors of authorized users must be monitored and controlled due to the rise
of insider threats. Security analysts in large distributed systems are overwhelmed
by the number of system users, the complexity and changing ...
