Hot particle dosimetry using a wall-less tissue equivalent proportional counter
(2023-05-01)
Highly radioactive specks of irradiated nuclear fuel or activated material, colloquially known as 'hot particles', can enter the workplace or external environment from nuclear power plant operations such as refurbishment ...
PoT: bridging IoT with phone technology
(2023-09-01)
The ”Phone of Things” (PoT) introduces an innovative integration of IoT systems with the widely available telephone network infrastructure. It repurposes underused home landlines and existing communication servers, weaving ...
Spectrum sharing for multi-user massive MIMO networks
(2023-12-01)
In this dissertation, we propose a creative approach to advance 5G network technologies by investigating the impact of employing an underlay spectrum sharing (USS) scheme on the performance of two massive multi-input-multi-output ...
Robust multi-group multicast beamforming design and antenna selection for massive MIMO systems
(2023-04-01)
In this dissertation, we use an Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) algorithm to design robust multi-group multicast beamforming scheme for massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems for two ...
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 ...
Neutronic characterization of a Molybdenum-99-producing CANDU fuel bundle and implications for reactivity-device worth and refuelling strategies
(2023-08-01)
Operating CANDU reactors can potentially produce significant quantities of Molybdenum-99 due to their ability to be refuelled online, high thermal neutron flux and fuel-design flexibility. A Molybdenum-producing bundle ...
Categories in control systems software: toward a unified theory of programming & control
(2023-12-01)
Category theory is applied to the design and modeling of control systems application software with emphasis on feedback control. The language of application is iso standard C++17, though the design is abstract and can be ...
