Effects of Selected Ionic Liquids on the Vapor-Liquid-Equilibria of Water-2-Propanol System
(2018-04)
Separation processes involving vapor and liquid phases represent a typical unit operation in most chemical industries, including distillation and absorption. A large fraction of the capital and operating costs is usually ...
Spectrum Occupancy Measurements and Cognitive Radio System Implementation
(2017-01)
Nowadays, radio spectrum is mostly crowded and occupied by many fixed wireless services. Therefore, there is less opportunity of finding a vacant band (spatially or temporally) for deploying new wireless communication ...
AUS Student Writers' Use of Clauses: Support for the Contrastive Rhetoric Hypothesis?
(2009-12)
Different theories exist regarding the characteristics of academic writing in English by students of other L1s. In 1966 Robert Kaplan proposed the contrastive rhetoric hypothesis, which has evolved over the years into the ...
The Use of Transferrin and Ultrasound in Cancer Treatment
(2019-05)
Site-specific drug delivery represents an attractive approach in cancer treatment to reduce the undesirable side-effects of anticancer therapeutics and increase the accumulation of drugs at tumor sites. Surface modification ...
In Vitro Cell Work of Two Types of Targeted Nanoparticles with Ultrasound Triggering
(2020-11)
Targeted liposomes have shown promising potential as effective chemotherapeutics delivery vehicles in Smart Drug Delivery Systems (SDDSs). Upon accumulation and internalization at the tumor site, the liposomes need to be ...
Suppression of Unstable Flow by Using Rough Surfaces at Small Mass Flow Rates in a Radial Diffuser
(2006-08)
The operation of centrifugal compressor systems is limited at low-mass flow rates by fluid flow instabilities leading to rotating stall or surge. These instabilities limit the flow range in which the compressor can operate. ...
Holistic Design: Optimizing Mechatronic Systems Using Multi Objective Optimization
(2015-05)
This thesis aims to present an integrated approach to mechatronic systems design using heuristic optimization techniques. This integrated approach will consider the kinematics of the system, the dynamics, and the control ...
Comparative Study of Control Strategies for Under Actuated Manipulator
(2006-06)
Underactuated mechanical systems are systems with fewer control inputs (actuators) than degrees of freedom. They arise in many applications such as underwater robots, mobile robots and manipulators with passive joints. ...
Intelligent Multi-Sensor Process Condition Monitoring
(2007-12)
Loss of production and machine breakdown are critical challenges facing modern machining. The main objective of this work is to develop an intelligent multi-sensor process condition monitoring that is able to predict the ...
Thermo-Economic Evaluation of Maisotsenko-Desiccant Cooling Systems for Gas Turbine Power Plants
(2018-10)
With the everlasting increase in population, a huge surge in the electricity consumption has been recorded. Thus, power plants manufacturers and utility companies need to augment the plants performance to cope with these ...
