Enhancing parallel coordinates and RadVis visualizations using single-and multi-objective optimization
(2021-04-01)
Data visualization is crucial to discover hidden patterns and relationships in high dimensional datasets; visualization is an essential branch in data analytics applied in science and engineering fields. This thesis has ...
An energy-efficient periodic resource model for cyber-physical systems By Suzanne Elashri
(2021-08-01)
Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), especially real-time systems, are subject to time constraints that should be met for the applications to run properly. The schedulability of workloads can be analyzed by determining the supply ...
Development of a model to investigate the sustainability of Ontario’s future electricity supply through a dual life cycle lens
(2021-10-01)
Since the turn of the century, greenhouse gas emissions and their climate related impacts have been studied with increased vigor. A tool that has gained popularity in supporting the reduction of emissions is life cycle ...
Robotic and haptic assistance for kidney access during percutaneous nephrolithotomy
(2021-08-01)
Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a minimally invasive procedure for removing kidney stones. Gaining kidney access is the most challenging task in this procedure and the cause of many complications. This thesis presents ...
Retail electric provider selection for prosumers with local distributed energy resources and plug-in electric vehicles using data mining techniques
(2021-01-01)
In a deregulated retail electricity market, the residential customers typically have the liberty to choose an electricity service plan from a list of retail electric providers (REPs) that best matches their monthly energy ...
Early detection of cyber-physical attacks in electric vehicles fast charging stations using machine learning
(2021-08-01)
In smart grids, the concept of “vehicle-to-grid” allows the electric vehicles to export power to the grid to support the electric utilities in the power distribution system’s operation. The implementation of such a concept ...
Reducing operational cost of an autonomous robot using combined data-driven and navigational algorithms
(2021-04-01)
Autonomous mobile robots have become an important presence in various fields of work, but are restricted by short operation times due to the limitations of their onboard energy sources. This factor bottlenecks applications ...
Semi-direct visual SLAM for stereo cameras: system design and validation
(2021-11-01)
Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) requires an autonomous vehicle in an unknown environment to learn about the environment, generates a map and localize itself at the same time. To solve this problem, various ...
Tunable compact microwave multiplexers based on substrate integrated waveguide
(2021-05-01)
Microwave multiplexers and diplexers are widely used in communication systems. This thesis presents a compact low-profile hybrid-coupled filter module (HCFM) implemented using substrate integrated waveguide (SIW). Compared ...
