Design and development of a novel DC/DC bidirectional converter with dual solar/PV-based snow removal and EV charging functionality
(2022-02-01)
Different factors affect solar photovoltaic (PV) systems by decreasing input energy and reducing the conversion efficiency of the system. One of these factors is the effect of snow cover on PV panels, a subject lacking ...
A structured approach to assessing the suitability of clinical gold standards for use in computational decision support algorithm development
(2022-01-01)
Advanced decision support diagnostic algorithm use in medicine is being hampered by the problem that high quality evidence is not available to support adoption. The strongest evidence for a diagnostic tool is obtained from ...
Parsing genetic models
(2022-01-01)
Applications of computer vision have seen great success recently, yet there are few approaches dealing with visual illustrations. We propose a collection of computer vision applications for parsing genetic models. Genetic ...
Clustering analysis of lock contention fault types using run-time performance metrics for java intrinsic locks
(2022-02-01)
Locks are essential in java-based multi-threaded applications as this mechanism provides a proper solution to synchronizing shared resources. However, improper management of locks and threads can lead to contention; as a ...
Detecting road boundaries and drivable regions in challenging weather conditions
(2022-02-01)
Road detection is a core component of self-driving vehicle perception, where it covers detecting road boundaries and drivable road regions. It can also help human drivers to drive safely in lower visibility. The majority ...
Development of conformal reconfigurable metamaterial-based antennas
(2022-01-01)
Antennas are vital components of any wireless communication device. There has been a wide demand for novel flexible and reconfigurable wireless devices as a result of the rising user applications. This thesis presents the ...
Examining interview ground rules in formal interviews with children
(2022-08-01)
Within the context of formal interviews with children, accuracy and clarity are paramount. Thus, protocols for interviewing children establish ground rules to encourage children to, for example, say “I don’t know,” “I don’t ...
Simulation and modelling to develop a nanopore-based device for ricin detection
(2022-08-01)
Nanopore-based protein detection represents an exciting opportunity to develop ultrasensitive diagnostic devices that are both portable and affordable. Aptamer-encoded nanopores detect target molecules by binding to them ...
Development of upper limb customized non- isomorphic VR interact ions for reaching, grabbing, and placing objects
(2022-08-01)
Virtual Reality (VR) is becoming adopted in education, training, and entertainment due to its growing affordability. The variability of user preferences and physical capabilities in VR requires configurable settings in ...
Li-ion battery electrode state of charge and degradation monitoring using battery casing as the reference electrode
(2022-08-01)
Lithium-ion battery (LIB) internal state such as state of charge (SOC), electrode capacity, and available lithium-ion monitoring is helpful for effective battery degradation monitoring. Monitoring these internal parameters ...
