Women's Role in Economic Development in Predominantly Muslim Countries
(2012-09)
We discuss the role of women in the development of predominantly Muslim countries, with
reference to economics from several perspectives: First, we study the interrelations between
certain characteristics of a society ...
Heat rate curve approximation for power plants without data measuring devices
(2012)
In this work, a numerical method, based on the one-dimensional finite difference technique, is proposed
for the approximation of the heat rate curve, which can be applied for power plants in which no data
acquisition is ...
Efficiency Optimization of a Standalone Solar Energy System using Fuzzy Based MPPT
(2012-01)
This work primarily addresses the design and implementation of a standalone rotary sun tracker with dual maximum power point tracking (MPPT). The objective is to improve the efficiency of the PV system by introducing both ...
Non-Linear Modeling and Control of Unmanned Air Vehicle
(2012-05)
The aim of this thesis is to design and simulate a Dynamic Inversion based autopilot for a fixed wing aircraft. The autopilot provides the aircraft motion stability by commanding the different aircraft control surfaces and ...
Phased Array Technique for Brain Source Localization
(2012-01)
Magnetoencephalography (MEG) and Electroencephalography (EEG) are two popular non-invasive techniques that directly measure the magnetic/electric signals generated from the brain's electrical activity, unlike functional ...
Non-Linear Finite Element Analysis of Steel Base Plates on Leveling Nuts
(2012-01)
Base plates are used to connect structural members to their foundations. They are routinely used in cantilevered structures supporting traffic utilities like overhead cantilevered direction signboards, traffic signals, ...
CFD Based Airfoil Shape Optimization for Aerodynamic Drag Reduction
(2012-05)
Commercial airplanes generally follow specific flight profiles consisting of take-off, climb, cruise, descend and landing. These flight profiles essentially change the freestream conditions in which the aircrafts operate. ...
Autonomous Robot Navigation Based On Recurrent Neural Networks
(2012-05)
The main objective of this research is to present a reactive navigation algorithm for wheeled mobile robots under non-holonomic constraints and in unknown environments. Two techniques are proposed: a geometrical based ...
Modelling the Impact of Bottlenecks on Arterial Travel Time Using Neural Networks
(2012-06)
Bottlenecks along signalized arterials are a major cause of capacity reduction and delay, which directly impact travel time along specific routes within an urban network. This research addresses the impacts of bottlenecks ...
2D Elasto-Plastic Finite Element Analysis of Tunnels in Dubai, UAE
(2012-06)
Major cities in UAE in general and Dubai in particular are facing significant challenges in terms of traffic flow patterns. Tunnels are being considered as viable option to alleviate the problems faced by transportation ...
