Effects of dynamic shear stress on endothelial cells, platelets and their interactions
(2013-05)
Coronary heart disease (CHD), characterized by degenerative changes in coronary circulation, is the leading cause of death in the US. Vascular wall endothelial cells (EC) and circulating blood platelets play a major role ...
Thermal performance of mechanical pipe insulation systems at below-ambient temperature
(2013-12)
Mechanical pipe insulation systems are commonly applied to cold piping surfaces in most industrial and commercial buildings in order to limit the heat losses and prevent water vapor condensation on the pipe exterior surfaces. ...
Modeling, analysis and control of print registration in roll-to-roll printing presses
(2013-05)
Print registration in roll-to-roll (R2R) printing process is investigated in this dissertation. Print registration is the process of aligning multiple images that are printed in consecutive print units. The quality of the ...
Modeling and control of web transport in the presence of non-ideal rollers
(2013-05)
In roll-to-roll processes the presence of non-ideal elements, such us out-of-round or eccentric rollers is fairly common. Periodic oscillations in web tension and web velocity are observed because of the presence of such ...
Improved hydronic loop system solution algorithm with a zone-coupled horizontal ground heat exchanger model for whole building energy simulation
(2013-05)
Whole building energy simulation is a simulation platform which includes any number of aspects of a building. These tools are generally capable of simulating zones, air systems, hydronic systems, electric generation systems, ...
Improved saliency mechanism for computer vision
(2013-07)
The objective of this project is to find an efficient biologically plausible model for the bottom-up saliency mechanism of the human vision system (HVS) and employ it in computer vision applications. In practice, analyzing ...
