Ground Penetrating Radar Technique for Bridge Deck Inspection
(2013-07)
The rapid growth of infrastructure in the UAE has caused a proportional growth in the transportation system. Bridges are among the major elements in the transportation system that requires continuous monitoring and maintenance ...
Optimization of Electric Vehicles Wireless Charging
(2019-12)
The growth of cars purchasing power, typically gasoline cars, has been a serious contributor to greenhouse effect. Fuel usage reduction through transportation electrification is currently among the most vital research ...
Reactions, Adsorption and Diffusion in FCC Catalysts
(2013-06)
The objective of this MS thesis is to study the reactions, adsorption and diffusion in FCC catalysts. The effects of different parameters on catalytic cracking are studied. Three main cases are considered: isothermal ...
Removal of Heavy Metals from Wastewater Using Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes
(2017-04)
Recently, carbon nanotubes have been employed as new adsorbent for the removal of many pollutants. In this study, raw multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were firstly tested for the removal of lead from aqueous solutions. ...
Modeling and Fuzzy Control of Modern Refrigeration System
(2014-06)
Current typical refrigeration systems work with on-off controllers in each of their components and their expansion valves are regulated mechanically which is quite inefficient. This issue resides in the core design of the ...
Dynamic Power Characteristics of Selective Buried Oxide (SELBOX) MOSFET
(2017-02)
The ever-increasing number of devices and electronic systems resulted in increasing the die size to satisfy the increasing demand. Moreover, the shrinking size of transistors according to the scaling theory became a ...
4D Printed Auxetic Structures with Tunable Mechanical Properties
(2019-06)
Additive manufacturing (i.e., 3D printing) has revolutionized the entire design cycle from prototyping, machining, and assembly. The majority of the materials suitable for 3D printing result in rather rigid structures with ...
Metallic coating thickness assessment over nonmagnetic metals using eddy current technology
(2019-04)
Recent improvements in apparent eddy current conductivity (AECC) spectroscopy lends itself as a practical approach to assess metallic coating thicknesses over nonmagnetic metals. It can potentially offer one-order of ...
Adaptive Time-Varying Brain Source Localization
(2019-11)
According to the most recent statistics provided by the World Health Organization, 50 million individuals around the world are diagnosed with epilepsy with 2.5 million new cases diagnosed annually. One-third of this large ...
A Navigation and Control System for a Robot in Indoor/Outdoor Environments
(2016-05)
This thesis presents an approach to solving the global navigation problem of wheeled mobile robots in indoor and outdoor environments. The presented solutions are based on probabilistic approaches. In outdoor environment, ...
