Data Communication through Distribution Network for Smart Grid Applications
(2014-05)This work investigates a novel solution for overcoming excessive signal attenuation in distribution transformers for power line communication (PLC) applications in smart grids. The proposed solution avoids classical hardware ... -
Data communication through distribution networks for smart grid applications
(2015-09)In this study, a novel solution is introduced to deal with excessive signal attenuation in distribution transformers for power line communication in smart grids. The results presented were not achievable before proposing ... -
Data Embedding in HEVC Video by Modifying the Partitioning of Coding Units
(Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2019-07)This paper proposes a data embedding solution in HEVC videos by modifying the partitioning of Coding Units (CUs). The partitions of a CU are first represented as a sequence of binary flags. The flags pertaining to 16x16 ... -
Data Hiding in MPEG Video Files Using Multivariate Regression and Flexible Macroblock Ordering
(IEEE, 2012)This paper proposes two data hiding approaches using compressed MPEG video. The first approach hides message bits by modulating the quantization scale of a constant bitrate video. A payload of one message bit per macroblock ... -
A Decision Matrix Approach to Green Project Management Processes
(Emerald, 2016)The purpose of this paper is to develop a decision matrix for green project management processes (GPMPs) in commercial construction projects. GPMPs can assist in decoding all of the information required to make green-conscious ... -
A Decision Tool for Selecting a Sustainable Learning Technology Intervention
(National Taiwan Normal University, 2016)Education is a basic human right. In pursuit of this right, governments in developing countries and their donors often invest scarce resources in educational initiatives that are sometimes not sustainable. This paper ... -
Decision-level fusion for single-view gait recognition with various carrying and clothing conditions
(Elsevier, 2017)Gait Recognition is one of the latest and attractive biometric techniques, due to its potential in identification of individuals at a distance, unobtrusively and even using low resolution images. In this paper we focus on ... -
Decision-level Gait Fusion for Human Identification at a Distance
(2014-06)Gait Recognition is one of the latest and most attractive biometric techniques currently under research, due to its potential application in identification of individuals at a distance, unobtrusively and even using low ... -
DEFC and Panicum Virgatum to Power the Future
(2014-01-19)Many rely on fossil fuels as a primary source of energy to satisfy everyday needs of transportation and electricity. Within 45 years we will be facing a shortage of current fossil fuels thus research is being carried out ... -
Defining an Architectural Design Strategy for Energy Performance-A Systematic Approach for Students
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)Managing the energy performance of a building should start from the pre-conceptual design phase. Architects at this phase need to analyze the nature of the site environment, the nature of the building, and the comfort ... -
The Dehortative in the Spoken Arabics of the Eastern Mediterranean
(University of Bucharest, 2016)A few authors mention a hortative mood in Arabic, formed in a variety of manners, usually involving a pre-verbal element and an unmarked imperfective verb, sometimes thought of as the jussive or subjunctive. Not an imperative, ... -
A Deployment Optimization Model for Wimax Base-Stations
(2011-06)Telecommunication technologies are growing rapidly due to the highly demanding markets for different telecom services and applications. Wireless solutions are essential in places where cable infrastructure does not exist, ... -
Desalination Using Deionization
(2014-07-22)The largest source of the water in the world is the ocean. In 2025, 40% of the world will be living in water scarce regions. There is an obvious demand for water at all times. The dominating desalinization process are ... -
Desalination Using Solar Ponds
(2014-07-22)The growing demand of freshwater is placing huge pressure on existing supplies. Seawater is a vast source to satisfy this demand. However, seawater cannot be directly consumed and therefore, desalination of seawater is a ... -
Design and Assessment of an Innovative Thermal Management System for Electronic Cooling Using PCMs
(2020-07)Thermal management of electronics is an important issue since the reliability of electronic components is greatly affected by the operating temperature. Electronics, such as laptops, are becoming more likely to overheat ... -
Design and Characterization of Flexible and Implantable Electrodes
(2019-04)Implantable bioelectrodes have the potential to advance neural sensing and muscle stimulation, especially in cases of peripheral nerve injuries. In such cases, the application of electrical stimulation to the muscles ... -
Design and Construction of a Cross-Laminated Timber Skyscraper
(2016-11)Concrete and steel are currently the building materials in most skyscraper construction. Due to their negative impact on the environment, timber has been proposed as an alternative material. -
Design and Implementation of an Advanced Control and Guidance Algorithm of a Single Rotor Helicopter
(2013-06)In this thesis, a complete autopilot solution for the Joker 3 miniature helicopter was designed and implemented. A dynamic model, which sufficiently describes the Joker 3 helicopter in a wide range of flight conditions was ... -
Design and Optimization of a Planar Cable Robot
(2020-07)This thesis presents a new approach towards the design of Cable-Driven-Parallel Robots (CDPR). Typically, the design of such robots is not the main concern, whereas in this work, an optimization of the design is carried ...
