One of the techniques to enhance the performance of microwave imaging (MWI) systems is to increase the amount of independent measured data that is collected when interrogating the object-of-interest (OI). A novel method ...

Data from a novel capacitive sensor array developed at the University of Manitoba, temperature sensors, humidity sensors, and light sensors placed inside a beehive for a summer is analysed using various time series analysis ...

This thesis deals with overvoltages caused due to a ground fault on pole conductor in an overhead bipolar Line Commutated Converter (LCC) HVdc system with a Dedicated Metallic Return (DMR). In HVdc systems with earth return, ...

Electromagnetic imaging is a method that aims to reconstruct a spatial map of the material properties of a target through non-invasive measurements, allowing an observer to see inside objects, such as the human body, ...

When cybersecurity flaws cause devices to be vulnerable to cyber-attacks, the functionality of these physical devices can be compromised which ultimately affects society. To prevent these attacks, intrusion detection systems ...

Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is cognitive decline before one is naturally expected to have age-related cognitive decline but not severe enough that it affects a person’s daily routine or life. MCI is often a precursor ...

Pertaining to the increasing amount of video data created every day, fast and effective methods of analyzing videos with minimum human supervision is a requirement in the current world. Several methods have been introduced ...

Modular multilevel converters with embedded storage (MMC-ES) have attracted the attention of researchers as a flexible converter of integrating energy storage to ac and dc networks using a single converter. Conventional ...

Grain such as wheat and canola is usually stored in silos or bins, often for long periods of time. Grain can and regularly does spoil in such bins, thus monitoring the grain quality and quantity inside the bin is crucial. ...

Real-time video streaming has become the largest portion of internet traffic in recent years. Therefore, improving the efficiency of video coding remains an important research issue. Beyond the level of compression, there ...
