Measurement of Vigilance Using EEG Source Localization
(2017-11)
Vigilance, or sustained attention, is crucial for jobs where attentiveness for prolonged times is required. These jobs include air traffic control, luggage inspection, and surveillance jobs. Vigilance decrement can cause ...
Sequential batch contactors for removal of chromium (VI) from wastewater using sheep's wool
(2017-05)
The effluent streams of various industries contain heavy metals like chromium. The hexavalent form of it is highly toxic, which needs specific intensive treatment before disposal. Sheep’s wool, as a keratinous adsorbent, ...
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 ...
Sliding Resistance of Serrated-Base Quay Walls
(2021-11)
Waterfront retaining structures, such as quay walls, play important roles in the safety and operation of ports and harbours. Designing waterfront structures under critical loads and conditions is one of the important topics ...
ESDD Prediction of Outdoor Polymer Insulators
(2015-06)
Reliable power transmission is a main factor in designing transmission and distribution lines. Contaminated environments significantly reduce the performance of outdoor insulators in which the accumulation of contamination ...
Modeling and Control of Electrostatically Actuated RF-MEMS Switches
(2014-02)
This work presents a novel approach to modeling and control of an RF- MEMS switch. The model presented in this work is comprehensive and generic in nature such that it takes into account the effect of squeeze film damping, ...
Bingham Fluid Flow in the Entrance Region of a Pipe
(2019-05)
The isothermal laminar flow of a Bingham fluid in the entrance region of a circular pipe has been studied previously by many authors using different approaches. As current research stands, the momentum integral approach ...
Optimal Operation of Virtual Charging Systems for Plug-In Electric Vehicles
(IEEE, 2022-01)
This paper proposes a novel concept, denoted as Virtual Charging System (VCS), for electric vehicles’ (EVs). In a conventional charging system (CCS) with a competitive environment, the competition between charging stations ...
