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 ... -
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 ... -
Video Streaming over Cognitive Radio Networks
(2020-07)The exponential increase in the demand for streaming video in wireless communication is obstructed by the problem of spectrum scarcity. In an effort to mitigate this problem, cognitive radio (CR) technology was proposed ... -
Investigation and Mathematical Modeling of Acoustic Release of Doxorubicin from Micelles
(2020-05)Given the growing concern over the increasing number of people diagnosed with cancer and the high prevalence of unwanted side effects associated with chemotherapy on healthy tissues, this thesis aims to provide better, ... -
Ultrasound triggered drug delivery of transferrin coupled liposomes carrying the drug doxorubicin
(2020-06)Cancer is one of the deadliest diseases of the 21st century. It is caused by the uncontrolled division of damaged and mutated cells. Several methods have been developed to combat cancer, including surgery, radiation, and ... -
Self-Powered Balun Low Noise Amplifier with Degeneration Balancing and Thermal Noise Analysis
(2020-05)The Balun low noise amplifier (LNA) is an LNA that exploits a combination of a common-source (CS) and a common-gate (CG) transistor, which cancels the noise and distortion of the CG stage. And since the CG is known to be ... -
Comparative Evaluation of Activated Carbon and Granulated Blast Furnace Slag in Treating Greywater
(2020-05)Recycling greywater (GW) for on-site, non-potable application can reduce the load to wastewater treatment plants and stress on potable water demand for domestic water supply. However, utilization of GW requires careful ... -
Face Flow: Constrained Optical Flow Framework for Faces
(2020-05)In computer vision, models and methods for facial expression recognition are continually in development. Several models aim to describe the highly complex structure of different faces, which in turn allows researchers to ... -
A Robotic System for Automatic Identification and Collection of Recyclable Plastic Bottles
(2020-05)Plastics have become a cornerstone of modern life, but they are also hazardous for the environment. Manually collecting and sorting such recyclable plastic waste from a mix of other refuse is tedious work, and has accompanying ... -
A Novel Cancer Treatment Platform Utilizing HER2-Immunoliposomes and Ultrasound
(2020-05)Cancer is defined as the uncontrolled growth of cells in the body. It is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. One of the most common approaches to destroy cancer cells is via chemotherapy treatment, in which ... -
CFD Modeling of Biomass Thermal Conversion in A Novel Solar-Thermal Reactor
(2020-05)The excessive utilization of fossil fuels during the past five decades resulted in a gradualdepletion of reserves and caused a serious negative impact on the environment, such as air pollution, climate change and acid rain. ...
