Efficient Algorithms for Constructing Preset Distinguishing Sequences for Nondeterministic Finite State Machines
(2016-06)
Derivation of input sequences for distinguishing states of a finite state machine (FSM) specification is well studied in the context of FSM-based functional testing. We present three heuristics for the derivation of ...
Transient Modeling of a New Solar Distillation Unit for Remote Areas
(2016-12)
The concept of lack of fresh water in our daily life is hard to imagine in recent times with its increasing demand. Lack of fresh water supplies has become one of the major current societal concerns, especially for people ...

Solving The 2D Biharmonic Equation: A Numerical Approach Based On Spline Collocation
(2016-07)
In this thesis, several numerical methods, that are based on spline basis functions, are suggested for the solution of a general class of fourth order boundary value problems. In particular, The two-dimensional biharmonic ...
Analysis of Non-Yielding Basement Wall Adjacent to Strip Footing
(2016-05)
Foundation depth below the ground surface is one of the major factors that contributes to the bearing capacity and settlement of shallow foundation. Hence, it is common to find adjacent buildings on shallow foundations ...
