User aid-based evolutionary computation for optimal parameter setting of image enhancement and segmentation
(2011-12-01)
Applications of imaging and image processing become a part of our daily life
and find their crucial way in real-world areas. Accordingly, the corresponding
techniques get more and more complicated.
Many tasks are ...
Exergoeconomic analysis and optimization of organic Rankine cycles
(2012-03-01)
Heat sources such as biomass, industrial waste heat and solar thermal provide the
potential to produce renewable environmentally low impact electricity. Using these
resources efficiently within economic constraints is ...
Design, optimization, and prototyping of a three translational degree of freedom parallel robot
(2012-03-01)
This thesis presents an evolutionarily design change for the Delta parallel
robot. The proposed design change increases the useful workspace of the robot
and aids in permanently avoiding singularities in the workspace. ...
Optimization of residential buildings and renewable energy integration in small island developing states: the Bahamas as a case study
(2017-08-01)
An optimization approach is used to assess the energy performance and design of residential homes in The Bahamas with the goal of providing objective data for policy makers to achieve the sustainability goals in the country. ...
Development and experimental investigation of new self-can cooling systems
(2014-04-01)
In this thesis, two conceptual self-cooling beverage can designs are proposed. The methods of cooling are validated experimentally and certain parameters of interested are obtained for an analytical and numerical study of ...
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 ...
Model based simulation of broaching operation: cutting mechanics, surface integrity, and process optimization
(2013-04-01)
Machining operations are widely used to produce parts with different shapes
and complicated profiles. As a machining operation, broaching is commonly used
for the machining of a broad range of complex internal and external ...
Analysis, assessment and optimization of integrated solar energy systems for multigeneration
(2014-12-01)
The extensive usage of fossil fuel in most of human activities has led to the undesirable effects on the environment starting from global warming and greenhouse effects to the climate changes, acid rain and others. Renewable ...
Extending the relational model with constraint satisfaction
(2021-01-01)
We propose a new approach to data driven constraint programming. By extending the relational model to handle constraints and variables as first class citizens, we are able to express first order logic SAT problems using ...
Deep learning approach to discontinuity-preserving image registration
(2020-05-01)
Image registration is an indispensable tool in medical image analysis. Traditionally, registration algorithms are aimed at aligning image pairs using regularizers to impose smoothness restrictions on unknown deformation ...
