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 ...
Fraud Risk Implications of Celebrity SPACs
(2022-08)
The 2012 Jumpstart Our Businesses Act (JOBS) was passed arguably to facilitate greater access to capital by startup firms and to lower the costs of being public in an effort to make American listings more competitive with ...
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, ...
Solution of Fractional Differential Equations: Transform and Iterative Methods Approach
(2019-12)
Fractional calculus is a novel and highly active area of research in the literature as it has a wide spectrum of applications in the physical sciences and engineering. In this thesis, we study the numerical solution of ...
Priority and Path Diversity Based Video Streaming over Best Effort Networks
(2014-07)
Successful delivery of important parts of video sequences is expected to maintain continuous playback at an acceptable video quality. In this thesis, priority and path diversity-based schemes are proposed in order to enhance ...
Autonomous Mobile Robots in Nature: Transfer RNAs in Escherichia coli Bacteria
(2008-05)
Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) are the smallest autonomous robots on earth. They can recognize a specific amino acid from the possible pool of 20 different amino acids. They are able to transport these protein building blocks to ...
Brain Source Localization in the Presence of Leadfield Perturbations
(2015-05)
Brain source localization enables us to localize different areas of the brain that are activated during any mental activity. This thesis makes use of Electroencephalography (EEG) recordings which is an important noninvasive ...
Optimization of Energy Consumption in Cloud Computing Datacenters
(2018-06)
In recent years, cloud computing has emerged as a practical paradigm for providing IT resources, infrastructure and services. This has led to the establishment of large scale datacenters that have substantial energy demands ...
