New numeracies: the social practice of functional skills and social justice
(2011-11-01)
This thesis explores how creating and performing digital numeracy texts, affords students learning opportunities in Mathematics that demonstrate their numerical social practice. In an environment that celebrates performance ...
Energy, exergy and exergoeconomic analyses of gas-turbine based systems
(2011-12-01)
Gas turbines are the primary technology used for the purpose of power generation nearly everywhere. In this thesis, the Makkah Power Plant, running on a Brayton cycle, is considered for analysis. The peak demand for electric ...
Vibration suppression of straight and curved beams traversed by moving loads
(2011-09-01)
Vibration suppression of beams traversed by moving loads, using optimal Tuned-Mass-Damper (TMD) systems, is investigated. This study is performed on two different geometrical shapes of the beam, namely, uniform homogenous ...
Energy-efficient relay cooperation for lifetime maximization
(2011-08-01)
We study energy-efficient power allocation among relays for lifetime maximization
in a dual-hop relay network operated by amplify-and-forward relays with battery
limitations. Power allocation algorithms are proposed for ...
Improved design of three-degree of freedom hip exoskeleton based on biomimetic parallel structure
(2011-07-01)
The external skeletons, Exoskeletons, are not a new research area in this highly
developed world. They are widely used in helping the wearer to enhance human strength,
endurance, and speed while walking with them. Most ...
Forensic analysis of unallocated space
(2011-06-01)
Computer forensics has become an important technology in providing evidence in investigations of computer misuse, attacks against computer systems and more traditional crimes like money laundering and fraud where digital ...
Channel estimation in a two-way relay network
(2011-08-01)
In wireless communications, channel estimation is necessary for coherent symbol detection.
This thesis considers a network which consists of two transceivers communicating
with the help of a relay applying the amplify-and-forward ...
Energy ans exergy analysis of biomass co-firing in pulverized coal power generation
(2011-04-01)
Biomass co-firing with coal exhibits great potential for large scale utilization of biomass
energy in the near future. In the present work, energy and exergy analyses are carried out
for a co-firing based power generation ...
Communication protocols, queuing and scheduling delay analysis in CANDU SCWR hydrogen co-generation model
(2011-08-01)
Industrial dynamical, Networked Control Systems (NCSs) are controlled over a
communication network. We study a continuous-time CANada Deuterium
Uranium-Super Critical Water Reactor (CANDU-SCWR) hydrogen plant and a
discrete-time ...
CBPsp: complex business processes for stream processing
(2011-04-01)
This thesis presents the framework of a complex business process driven event
stream processing system to produce meaningful output with direct implications to the
business objectives of an organization. This framework is ...
