Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Routing In The Presence Of Threats
(Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering, 2014)
The use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and the importance of its role have evolved and increased recently in both civilian and military operations. In this research, we study the routing of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles ...
Computational Study Of Behavior Of Gas Absorption In Data Center Equipment And Its Effects On The Rate Of Corrosion/contamination
(Mechanical Engineering, 2014-12)
The reliability of the data center equipment is being compromised as the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) recommendable psychrometric limits are stretched outside the ...
The Effects Of Deposition Conditions On The Mechanical Properties Of Titanium Silicon Nitride Nanocomposite Coatings
(Materials Science & Engineering, 2015)
Titanium Silicon Nitride has received much attention in recent years for its theoretical super hardness and oxidation resistance at high temperature. In this work, the mechanical properties of TiSiN thin films including ...
NOVEL APPROACH FOR SELECTIVE DECOMPOSITION OF TARGET WATER CONTAMINANTS ONTO POROUS TITANIUM DIOXIDE
(2017-01-12)
Manipulation of physical and chemical properties of matter with nanoscale precision will enhance our ability for fabrication of material with intended characteristics for environmental applications. In this study we presented ...
An Analysis Of Military Sexual Assault And Subsequent Punishment
(Criminology & Criminal Justice, 2014-12)
In recent years, national attention has been drawn to the issue of sexual assault in the military. This is largely in part due to the number of reported offenses increasing each year, jumping 50% between 2012 and 2013 alone ...
The Study Of The Effect Of Smart Meter Rf Transmissions On Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters
(Electrical Engineering, 2014-12)

Complexity Reduction Of Motion Estimation In HEVC
(Electrical Engineering, 2014-12)
The High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard is the latest video coding project developed by the Joint Collaborative Team on Video Coding (JCT-VC) which involves the International Telecommunication Unit (ITU-T) Video ...
Thermal Conduction And Heat Generation Phenomena In Li-ion Cells
(Mechanical Engineering, 2014-12)
Cylindrical lithium ion (Li-ion) cells have demonstrated high power density and energy capacity among other energy storage devices. Despite their already widespread use, the thermal transport properties of cylindrical ...
Discovery Of Anomalous Patterns Within Multidimensional, Asynchronous Time-series With An Emphasis On The "internet Of Things"
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2014-12)
In this dissertation we examine ``Internet-scale'' systems that present us with multidimensional time-series data characterized by many sources sending symbols at irregular intervals over a common channel. We explore a ...
A Systems Thinking Approach To Apply Water Sustainability In Hospitals
(Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering, 2014)
One of the most critical challenges the world is facing is to ensure everyone has access to an adequate and quality supply of water. As the population increases, the demand for water rises. Water needs to be sustained for ...
