Front underride protection devices: methods for design and testing
(2014-04-01)
Improvements to highway safety are in continual demand. One of the most severe instances of vehicle collision occurs as a result of vehicle weight and sizing mismatch. The fitment of Front Underride Protection Devices ...
Development of a PSA-based safety assessment and management framework for nuclear-based hydrogen generation system.
(2014-08-01)
The nuclear-based Cooper-Chloride (Cu-Cl) thermochemical cycle a promising method for future large-scale hydrogen generation. The nuclear-based hydrogen generation leads to new challenge for system safety due to the ...
Comparative study of various hydrogen production methods for vehicles.
(2014-12-01)
Hydrogen as an energy carrier is a promising candidate to store green energy and it has a
potential to solve various critical energy challenges. Although, hydrogen is a clean
energy carrier, the possible negative impacts ...
Design and implementation of an automated gamma probe for jet boring uranium mining.
(2014-12-01)
A proof-of-concept detector prototype capable of collecting and storing radiometric
data in Jet Boring System (JBS) pilot holes at the Cigar Lake uranium mine is
presented. Variant design is used to design, develop, test ...
Development and analysis of new integrated energy systems for sustainable buildings.
(2014-12-01)
Excessive consumption of fossil fuels in the residential sector and their associated
negative environmental impacts bring a significant challenge to engineers within research
and industrial communities throughout the ...
A comparison of three computational phantoms for calibration of a radiation portal monitor used for measurement of internal contamination.
(2014-12-01)
The goal of this research was to investigate if portal monitors could measure internally deposited radioisotopes over a short count time (1 second) with a detection limit sufficient to measure 1/10 of an annual limit on ...
Sum-rate maximization for two-way active channels.
(2014-11-01)
In this thesis, the term passive channel refers to the conventional parallel wireless
channel model, where there is no control over the gain of each individual subchannel.
We de ne an active channel as a parallel channel ...
Analysis and techniques for non-intrusive appliance load monitoring.
(2014-11-01)
The increased public awareness of energy conservation and the demand for smart metering system have created interests in home energy monitoring. Load disaggregation using a single sensing point is considered a cost-effective ...
