Lattice gas automata consist of particles within a lattice that interact with their nearest neighbours according to simple deterministic rules. Essential parts of the algorithm can be implemented in a few lines of code, ...

Improvements in technology of the microelectronic areas have allowed researchers to develop Integrated Circuits (ICs) with higher speed and smaller size. However these improvements have also increased the difficulties for ...

Micromachining is currently being studied to help reduce the packaging and integration costs of multi-chip modules (MCMs) in radio frequency (RF) systems. Such systems require the integration of radiating elements, feed ...

The purpose of this research is to develop models which can be used to produce realistic test waveforms for the evaluation of protection systems used for generators and transformers. Software models of generators and ...

Catastrophic equipment failures continue to occur today due to ferroresonance even though this phenomenon has been extensively studied over the past ninety years. This thesis is concerned with the tasks of defining where ...

This thesis is devoted to the presentation of a simplified synthesis method and its application in the development of a computer program for the synthesis of LC ladder networks. The approach developed in the thesis is based ...

The focus of this thesis is on the study and experimental implementation of a voltage source inverter-based reactive power compensator. A general mathematical model of the system has been developed, from which a approximate ...

This thesis examines issues surrounding the class of unsupervised artificial neural network learning algorithms known as competitive learning. Four variations of competitive learning algorithms are presented and compared, ...

The objective of this research is to develop numerical methods for general and efficient solutions to the linear systems obtained using the integral equations arising from electromagnetic scattering problems involving ...
