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 ...
Data hiding and detection in Office Open XML (OOXML) documents
(2011-03-01)
With the rapid development and popularity of information technology, criminals and mischievous computer users are given avenues to commit crimes and malicious activities. One of the commonly used tactics, called steganography, ...
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 ...
Evaluating and improving collection tree protocol in mobile wireless sensor network
(2011-07-01)
There has been growing interest in the Mobile WSN applications where mobility is
the fundamental characteristic of the sensor nodes. Mobility poses many challenges
to the routing protocols used in such applications. In ...
Design and optimization of a three-fingered robot hand
(2011-04-01)
Humanoid robots have proven to be very useful and could revolutionize the way humans
live. Knowing human anatomy and behaviour helps improve a robotic mechanisms
ability to perform human tasks. The following thesis introduces ...
Thermodynamic analysis of ammonia and urea fed solid oxide fuel cells
(2011-04-11)
This thesis is concerned with the thermodynamic analyses of ion and proton-conducting solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) fed with ammonia and urea as fuels. A multi-level approach was used to determine the feasibility and the ...
Reliability analysis of smart electrical transmission system and reliability modeling through dynamic flowgraph methodology
(2011-04-01)
Reliability assessment methods allow the evaluation of the reliability of systems and provide important information on how to improve a system‟s life to reduce risk and hazards. With the advancement in technology, the ...
