Modeling and Fuzzy Control of Modern Refrigeration System
(2014-06)
Current typical refrigeration systems work with on-off controllers in each of their components and their expansion valves are regulated mechanically which is quite inefficient. This issue resides in the core design of the ...
Priority and Path Diversity Based Video Streaming over Best Effort Networks
(2014-07)
Successful delivery of important parts of video sequences is expected to maintain continuous playback at an acceptable video quality. In this thesis, priority and path diversity-based schemes are proposed in order to enhance ...
A Maturity Model for a Sustainable Construction Industry
(2014-01)
Although the construction industry has provided societies with facilities and infrastructure projects that meet their needs and fulfill their requirements, created up to 7% of the world's job opportunities, accounted for ...
Effect of Flexural CFRP Sheets and Plates on Shear Resistance of Reinforced Concrete Beams
(2014-05)
Ageing of reinforced concrete (RC) structures has captured the attention of a number of researchers to find different materials and techniques to strengthen and retrofit deteriorated structures. Carbon Fiber Reinforced ...
Microbial Desalination Cell (MDC) in the Presence of Activated Carbon
(American Scientific Publishers, 2014-10)
This report studies the performance of a Microbial Desalination Cell (MDC) in the presence ofactivated carbon in both the cathode and anode chambers. The large surface area of the activatedcarbon provides surface for ...
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, ...
H.264/AVC to HEVC Video Transcoder Based on Dynamic Thresholding and Content Modeling
(IEEE, 2014)
The new video coding standard, HEVC, was developed to succeed the current standard, H.264/AVC, as the state of the art in video compression. However, there is a lot of legacy content encoded with H.264/AVC. This paper ...
