The study focuses on building a financial model for a telecommunications carrier to guide it towards profitable network investments. The model shows optimal access-network topography by comparing two broadband delivery techniques over fibre technology. The study is a scenario ex…
The problem of classifying the modulation scheme of an unknown signal has captured much attention in the field of signal processing and communications. It is due to the nature of this problem that finds application in many defense areas like, electronic warfare, military threat …
Cement-based materials offer a desirable balance of compressive strength, moisture resistance, durability, economy and energy-efficiency; their tensile strength, fracture energy and durability in aggressive environments, however, could benefit from further improvements. An optio…
Tin-Lead solder (Sn-Pb) has long been used in the Electronics industry. But, due to its toxic nature and environmental effects, certain restrictions are made on its use by the European Rehabilitation of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive, and therefore, many researchers are l…
Stimulation of brain cells by means of optical illumination is a method used by neuroscientists to study the influence of specific brain cells on certain physiological activities. When the stimulation is done using a wireless implantable device to aid the mobility of the subject…
The main objective of the research was to understand hemp processing at different stages through numerical simulations. Processing of hemp materials involves breaking the hemp into different sizes of particles and separating those particles into fractions of different sizes. Num…
The lymphocyte function associated antigen-I (LFA-1) is important to a variety of immune cell processes including immune synapse formation and lymphocyte homing. Studies have shown that lymphocytes exhibit increased adhesion upon sialic acid removal by neuraminidase. Recent stud…
Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) walls are used extensively to support various infrastructures. Limit equilibrium (LE) analysis has been used to design MSE walls. Presumably, the deflection of MSE wall can be limited to an acceptable range by ensuring sufficient factor of saf…
This thesis initially presents the problem of stability pertaining to delay systems and provides useful results on stability analysis using linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). The connection between recently published results on stability robustness in the domain of time delays a…
Current literature supports the importance of ethnic places in maintaining cultural identity of immigrants. One of the important components of ethnicity is expressed in the manner in which ethnic groups prepare and serve their food. The background behind this selection was inspi…
The purpose of this paper was to evaluate the appearance of North Korea and Iran as significant cyber threats to the United States, in addition to China and Russia. This paper presented key findings and studies that showed the timeline of significant events through the history o…
In this thesis the problem of designing a fast multiclass object detector based on cascade architecture is considered. A classifier cascade is a sequence of simple to complex sub-classifiers where each stage either rejects the input or pass it to the next stage. Since most of th…
The objective of this research is to design an affordable Braille tactile display that is wearable, refreshable, and portable. The device is intended to be used as an output device that can playback stored media. It can be also incorporated with current Braille reading technolog…
Purpose: The purpose of this dissertation is to investigate and analyze the implementation of information systems in general and core banking systems in particular while addressing the challenging issues faced during such implementations and the critical factors necessary for th…
Over the past several decades, the structure of the international oil industry, both internationally and within oil-producing states, has changed dramatically. The major players in the international oil industry appear to have increasingly become state-owned national oil compani…
Advances in super-resolution imaging have been made by reconstruction, interpolation and example-based algorithmic techniques drawn from the fields of signal and image processing, machine learning, biologically-inspired computer vision, and psychology. However, the performance o…
The hypercompetitive business environment has enforced the need for enterprises to join a network in order to fulfill customers' demand. In this research the demand and capacity sharing decisions of a collaborative network (CN) have been modeled using proportional and cyclic app…
This thesis work mainly examined the stability and reliability issues of amorphous Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide (a-IGZO) thin film transistors under bias-illumination stress. Amorphous hydrogenated silicon has been the dominating material used in thin film transistors as a channel …
