Sum-rate optimal network beamforming and power allocation for single-carrier asynchronous bidirectional relay network
(2015-08-01)
We study the problem of sum-rate maximization, under a total transmit power budget,
for an asynchronous single-carrier bidirectional (two-way) network. The network consists
of two single-antenna transceivers which wish to ...
Ultracapacitor characterization using a novel dynamic parameter identification modeling technique for electric transportation applications
(2015-09-01)
Ultracapacitors (UCs), also known as Supercapacitors or double layer capacitors, are the promising technology devices used for storing energy in the field of energy storage systems. These ultra-capacitors, being a low ...
Experimental investigation of scroll based organic Rankine systems
(2011-04-01)
In this thesis, an experimental research is conducted on scroll-based Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) focusing on the expansion process. An important feature of the ORC is the ability to utilize low or moderate temperature ...
Experimental investigation of an R134a based organic Rankine cycle
(2011-08-01)
This thesis research aims to develop an improved, efficient, low-capacity heat engine, running
on an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) to generate power. The ORC is driven by low or
moderate temperature heat sources, such as; ...
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, ...
Integration of component-based frameworks with sensor modeling languages for the sensor web
(2010-08-01)
The goal of this thesis is to develop an easily modifiable sensor system. To achieve this goal SensorML (an XML based sensor language) is combined with Java Beans (a component model language). An important part of SensorML ...
Proposing effective coordinate search methods for solving large-scale expensive black-box optimization problems
(2020-08-01)
In engineering and science, optimization plays a vital role in many real-world applications. In this work, several novel optimization algorithms based on Coordinate Search (CS) algorithm are proposed. CS is a gradient-free ...
Damping acoustic pressure pulsations in pipelines using Helmholtz resonators
(2019-05-01)
In industrial piping systems, centrifugal and reciprocating turbomachinery generate acoustic pressure pulsations, which propagate into the pipeline and interact with piping components, potentially causing vibrations, ...
Design of a secure privacy preserving cloud based framework for sharing electronic health data
(2020-01-01)
There exists a need for sharing user health data, especially with institutes for research purposes, in a secure fashion. This is especially true in the case of a system that includes a third party storage service, such as ...
Design of robust active trailer steering controllers for multi-trailer articulated heavy vehicles using software/hardware-in-the-loop real-time simulations
(2019-08-01)
Due to their remarkable economic and environmental benefits, Multi-Trailer Articulated Heavy Vehicles (MTAHVs) have been frequently adopted by the trucking industry. Despite the above advantages, MTAHVs exhibit two particular ...
