Microseismic Location Using Differential Backazimuth Angles
(2016-05)
The most common procedure for locating borehole microseismic events is solution of a minimization problem based on observed travel time differences compared to calculated travel time differences derived from a given velocity ...
Design and Optimization of Broadband Matching Networks for Widely Steerable Phased Array Radar Systems
(2022-05-13)
The use of phased arrays have become prevalent in radar systems for military and weather applications due to their planar configuration and ability of electronic steering. However, mutual coupling between surrounding antenna ...
Causal failures and cost-effective edge augmentation in networks
(2023-08-04)
Node failures have a terrible effect on the connectivity of the network. In traditional models, the failures of nodes affect their neighbors and may further trigger the failures of their neighbors, and so on. However, it ...
Analysis and Application of Virtual-Flow Meter Technology for Chiller-Water Valve and Outside-Air Controls
(2022-05)
The following work focuses on using virtual flow meters (VFM) for HVAC controls and how
they can replace physical sensors to reduce cost and increase efficiency. The study focuses on
implementing VFM to measure outdoor ...
Optimal Selection of Short-and Long-Term Mitigation Strategies for Buildings within Communities under Flooding Hazard
(2022-08-09)
Every year, floods cause substantial economic losses worldwide with devastating impacts on buildings and physical infrastructures throughout communities. Techniques are available to mitigate flood damage and subsequent ...
Automatic Machine Learning in Optimization and Data Augmentation
(2022-05)
This dissertation introduces Automatic Machine Learning (AutoML) as a potential approach to overcome current deep learning challenges on efficiency and cost. It also proposes two novel AutoML workflows to areas in deep ...
Clustering Techniques in Multi-Objective Optimization: Applications in Climate-Driven Refugee Relocation
(2022)
As climate change becomes increasingly concerning around the world, and with large uncertainty falling on the aspects of displaced people, a need for planning is prevalent. This complex problem—of which there is little to ...
Use Capacitance-Resistance Model to Characterize Water Flooding in A Tight Oil Reservoir
(2017-12-15)
Gaither Draw Unit is a heterogeneous and tight formation with an average permeability of 0.1 mD. After more than 1.7 MMSTB water has been injected, there was no clear signal indicating the injected water from any producer. ...
Evaluation of transfemoral prosthesis performance control using artificial neural network controllers
(2021-05-14)
Transfemoral (Above-knee) amputation of the leg of an individual as a result of traumatic injury or due to complications arising out of diabetes or vascular disorders is a common occurrence worldwide. Following the surgical ...
OPTIMIZING THE SPREAD OF INFLUENCE IN SOCIAL NETWORK COMMUNITY STRUCTURES
(2019-12-14)
Natural disasters and disruptive events were a major reason for researchers to study networks and community vulnerability. Detecting communities is considered a key element to better understand social networks. This detection ...
