This thesis investigates the role of preprocessing, rejection classes and ample relabelling in the classification of convective storm cells. This problem is representative of pattern recognition problems displaying high ...

In this thesis, we present an approach to the characterization and feature extraction of the electromyogram (EMG) signals. This approach is based upon the chaotic behaviour of the EMG signals and the existence of the ...

With increasing system complexity, engineers use different tools to save money and time during the design and development cycle. Simulation is one of the important tool engineers use very often. These simulation tools are ...

In this thesis a parametric study of various broadband microstrip patch antennas and a dual band patch antenna is investigated. The broadband patch antennas studied in this thesis are: a rectangular microstrip patch antenna ...

Wireless personal communication services (PCS) and broadband networking for delivery of multimedia information represent two well-established trends in telecommunications. Given that ATM is now viewed as a universal base ...

Custom Power Devices comprise a group of power electronic controllers that seek to improve the level f quality of power available to the customer. Novel configurations using semiconductor switching devices can be designed ...

High gain, planar array antennas which operate at millimetre wave frequencies, and can be mass produced at low cost, are desired by industry. The design of such arrays continues to be academically challenging. A literature ...

Corona discharges on the conductor surface of a HVDC transmission line generate ion flow in the interelectrode space, and therefore cause power losses as well as environmental concerns. To evaluate these effects, one has ...

In this thesis we cover two main topics, reliable network transmission protocol modeling and design. The first is a reliable transmission protocol modeling by the place stochastic Petri net. The second is retransmission ...

This thesis investigates the effects of extra low frequency magnetic fields on the development of embryos. The investigation was done by exposing a group of Axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) embryos to power frequency magnetic ...
