Communication-Based Adaptive Overcurrent Protection for Distribution Systems with DistributedGenerators
(2012-05)
Traditional distribution systems are designed with a radial structure. As a result, their protection systems are designed and set based on one utility source feeding the whole system. Nowadays, Distributed Generators (DG) ...
Flexible Scheduling for Construction Projects
(2012-01)
A successful project schedule is one of the prime keys to project success. The Critical Path Method (CPM) determines a rigid timeline of activities' execution ignoring resource related issues. Many techniques were developed ...
A Framework for Benchmarking the Total Energy Efficiency of Net Zero Energy Buildings
(2015-01)
The need for net zero energy buildings (NZEB) is a result of global depletion of natural fuel resources and the effects of the usage of these fuel resources on climate. For Instance, the building sector in the US alone ...
Preparation of albumin-targeted liposomes and the study of their release characteristics using ultrasound
(2016-01)
The main objective of this thesis was to investigate the enhancement of drug delivery using targeted liposomes triggered by ultrasound. In this thesis, a thorough literature review on cancer and drug delivery systems ...
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 ...
Low Power Wireless Subcutaneous Transmitter
(2010-12)
Low power wireless transmitters are finding applications in diverse fields. A field that is expressing a noticeable growth is biomedical telemetry, where a wireless transmitter accompanied with sensors is used to measure ...
Effect of Concrete Type on Flexural Behavior of Concrete Beams Reinforced with HSS Bars
(2016-03)
High-Strength Steel (HSS) bars can be a promising alternative to commonly used mild steel since they have the potential of making more efficient use of highperformance concrete and reducing the required number and size of ...
Modeling Adsorption Data of Hydrocarbons on 13X Zeolite using the Gaussian Adsorption Isotherm Model
(2013-01)
Subcritical and supercritical adsorption data available in the literature for alkanes, alkenes and aromatics on 13X zeolite are correlated using the Gaussian adsorption model. This model is specified by three parameters: ...
Produced water treatment using microbial desalination cells
(2018-05)
Globally, 250 million barrels of produced water is generated daily for extracting 80 million barrels of oil. Having a highly variable composition and no economic value, produced water presents serious environmental problems. ...
Indoor Positioning Techniques and Approaches for WI-FI Based Systems
(2015-06)
The rapid expansion of smartphones' market coupled with the advances in mobile computing technology has opened up doors for new mobile services and applications. Quite a few of these services require the knowledge of the ...
