Evolving neuro-fuzzy tools for system classification and prediction
(2008)"Classification and prediction algorithims have recently become very powerful tools to a wide array of real-world applications. Some real world applications include system condition monitoring, bioinformatics, robotics, ... -
Experimental Investigation and Modelling of Sand Jets Passing through an Immiscible Layer
(2016)Sand jets passing through two immiscible liquids, water and oil have many applications in the field of civil and environmental engineering such as tailings transport, dredging and discharge of industrial and urban wastewater. ... -
Extracting lignocelluloses from various spent liquors via adsorption
(2015-10-20)The spent liquors of thermomechanical (TMP) and neutral sulfite semichemical (NSSC) pulping processes contain some lignocelluloses that are recently treated in the waste water of the processes, and thus wasted. In this ... -
Frequency response based system identification and controller tuning
(1997)A detailed simulation based analysis of different frequency response and transfer function identification techniques are performed and critically studied. Standard closed loop and open loop recursive least squares system ... -
Hydrodeoxygenation process for converting glycerol into bio-crude / by Matthew A. Tymchyshyn.
(2010)"Bio-energy is a clean (containing negligible sulfur and being near-carbon neutral), renewable and abundant source of energy. Bio-energy can be a potential alternative to fossil fuels for the production of energy and ... -
Image-based visual servoing of a VTOL UAV
(2009)Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are an area of significant research activity these days because of their use in dull, dangerous, and dirty tasks. Lack of human pilot paves the way for advanced and more sophisticated control ... -
Intelligent sliding mode control in flexible structures
(2012-11-10)The first objective of this work is to develop an intelligent sliding mode controller for vibration control in flexible structures. The proposed control consists of two processes: system identification and sliding mode ... -
Investigation into the use of ELG for stand alone power system frequency control
(2006)The use of ELG for stand alone power system frequency control is investigated in this thesis. Characteristics of a stand alone power system with PCR-ELG are presented. Dynamic simulation of the system is developed using ... -
Investigation of the impact of impurities on the properties of nitride semiconductors grown by RPECVD
(2015-10-21)Progress toward the improvement of optical emission from InGaN optical active region devices is made through a combination of the tailoring of p-type gallium nitride growth recipes and bandstructure calculations on a graded ... -
Joint design of PAPR, PICR and OBP in OFDM systems
(2008)Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) technique has been adopted by many existing and future wireless communication systems for high-speed data transmission. However, a major problem of OFDM systems is the high ... -
