Development and analysis of a solar-based integrated system with a CO2 Rankine power cycle
(2013-10-01)
The current work is a thermodynamic-based design and analysis of a solar-based
integrated system for power production. In this regards, a reheat supercritical carbon
dioxide (S-CO2) Rankine cycle is proposed. This cycle ...
Experimental and numerical investigation of the dynamic seat comfort in aircrafts.
(2013-12-01)
This research focuses on the dynamic seat comfort in aircrafts specifically during takeoff, landing and cruise through turbulence flight conditions. The experiments are performed using a multi axis shaker table in the ...
Experimental and theoretical investigations of a new integrated solar tower system for photocatalytic hydrogen and power production
(2013-08-01)
Solar energy conversion via photocatalytic hydrogen production from water is an attractive route for the propagation of a hydrogen economy. Increasing the efficiency of such systems to meet the target of 10% is essential ...
Real time safety verification in the process industry using fault semantic networks (FSN)
(2013-08-01)
In the process industry, there are uncertainties associated with each variable, which might lead to process deviations and hazards. In order to accurately quantify the risks associated with these hazard scenarios, quantitative ...
Design synthesis of car-trailer systems with active trailer differential braking strategies.
(2013-08-01)
To this date, various control strategies based on linear vehicle models have been proposed and developed for improving the lateral stability of car trailer (CT) systems. Is a linear-model-based controller applicable to ...
Probabilistic assessment of the impact of plug-in electric vehicles on power quality in electric vehicles on power quality in electric distribution systems.
(2013-11-01)
The electrification of the transportation sector may have socio-economic benefits such as
reducing greenhouse gases, lowering the soaring gas prices, and ending the reliance on
imported oil. The integration of plug-in ...
An interactive and context-driven approach to mobile decision support services
(2013-08-01)
This thesis introduces a new approach to service sophistication where the users with no
prior knowledge about a public domain's list of services can conveniently and e ectively
use those services in companion with complementary ...
Android wi-fi location awareness and data inference heuristic.
(2013-12-01)
Mobile phones are becoming a primary platform for information access. More and more people use their mobile devices as one of their major communication access tools. Commuters are increasingly carrying their mobile devices ...
Experimental investigation of a catalyst under various solar light conditions for hydrogen production.
(2013-09-01)
The light absorption characteristics of the photocatalyst {[Ru(bpy)2(dpp)]2RhBr2}5+ and
the photochemical Ru(bpy)2(dpp)2+ is investigated. Extinction coefficient versus
wavelength is determined for both a low intensity ...
Correlation and real time classification of physiological streams for critical care monitoring.
(2013-12-01)
This thesis presents a framework for the deployment of algorithms that support the correlation and real-time classification of physiological data streams through the development of clinically meaningful alerts using a blend ...
