Analytical model for force prediction when machining metal matrix composites
(2010-09-01)
Metal Matrix Composites (MMC) offer several thermo-mechanical advantages over standard materials and alloys which make them better candidates in different applications. Their light weight, high stiffness, and strength have ...
Cooperative localization based on received signal strength in wireless sensor network
(2010-01-01)
Localization accuracy based on RSS (Received Signal Strength) is notoriously inaccurate
in the application of wireless sensor networks. RSS is subject to shadowing effects, which is signal attenuation caused by stationary ...
Study of an internal combustion engine to burn hydrogen fuel and backfire elimination using a carburetor fuel delivery method
(2010-04-01)
Hydrogen appears to be a clean and sustainable fuel for transportation vehicles, including internal combustion engine vehicles. In this research, a 1986 GMC Sierra truck with a 350CID 5.7L V8, 4 barrel carbureted Chevrolet ...
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 ...
Coded aperture imaging application in one-sided imaging of visually obscured objects
(2011-05-17)
The physical properties of visible light and its interaction with matter create
obstructions the human eye cannot explore. High energy radiation has been
used as an alternative to visible light to penetrate these concealed ...
Performance trade-off analysis in bidirectional network beamforming.
(2011-10-01)
This research examines a two-way relay network consisting of two transceivers and
multiple parallel relays, which are equipped with single antennas and operate in a halfduplex
mode. In this system, the two transceivers ...
Characterization of natural fibre reinforced biodegradable composities
(2011-08-01)
Low cost, light weight, recyclability, and high specific strength of natural fibres make them a good replacement for synthetic fibre such as glass in fibre reinforced plastics (FRP). Green and ecofriendly source of these ...
OLSR-based network discovery in situational awareness system for tactical MANETs
(2012-01-01)
In this thesis, we propose a high level design for connectivity visualization of OLSRbased
MANET topology based on local topology databases available in an OLSR node.
Two different scenarios are considered: a central ...
