Behaviour of Shear Deficient Reinforced Concrete Beams with Externally Bonded Aluminum Plates
(2012-06)
Enhancing the shear capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) beams was done using many different ways and materials. Steel and Fiber reinforced polymers are the most common materials used to strengthen RC beams in shear. ...
Behavior of Concrete Filled Steel Tube (CFST) Under Different Loading Conditions
(2012-06)
Concrete Filled Steel Tubes (CFSTs) were used in construction in the early 1900's. However, the research into CFSTs did not begin until the 1960s. From that time onwards, several studies were conducted on the CFSTs to fully ...
Learning Based Spectrum Sensing in OFDM Cognitive Radios
(2012-05)
Cognitive Radio (CR) is an innovative technology introduced to efficiently utilize the spectrum. It allows secondary users to access the licensed portion of the spectrum when it is not occupied by the primary licensed user. ...
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 ...
Translating the Discourse of Alienation: Orwell's Nineteen Eighty Four and Haqqi's Saint's Lamp as Case Studies
(2012-12)
"A basic property of language is that it enables its users to formulate a mental picture of reality and to make sense of and express what goes around and inside them" (Hatim, 1997, p. 179). This research is aimed at ...
Investigating and Modeling the Acoustic Release of Doxorubicin from Folate Targeted Micelles
(2012-06)
To minimize the adverse side effects of conventional chemotherapy, a targeted micellar drug carrier was investigated that retains hydrophobic drugs in its core and then releases the drug via ultrasound. This thesis reports ...
