Study of the Al-Zawea oil refinery power system in Libya
(2016-12)
Libya is an oil exporting country located in the middle of the North Africa. Exporting oil is the major income resource for the economics of the country. Al-Zawea refinery is one of the oil refineries in Libya. It is the ...
Approach to assess the resiliency of electric power grids
(2015-12)
Today's electric power grids face serious challenges due to overstressed networks, need to assimilate variable generation, strict environmental regulations and widespread weather-caused outages. There is an urgent need to ...
Enhanced recurrent network training
(2016-05)
In this dissertation, we introduce new, more efficient, methods for training recurrent neural networks (RNNs). These methods are based on a new understanding of the error surfaces of RNNs that has been developed in recent ...
2.45GHz RF-Front end for a micro neural interface system
(2011-07)
Scope and Method of Study:
Performance enhancement of micromachined thin-film piezoelectric-on-silicon lateral-extensional resonators through substrate and tether modifications
(2013-12)
Electromechanical resonators have formed the basis of telecommunication circuits for decades through the use of quartz crystal oscillators. Recently, MEMS resonators-based oscillators have become a possible replacement in ...
Human-vehicle collaborative driving to improve transportation safety
(2018-12)
This dissertation proposes a collaborative driving framework which is based on the assessments of both internal and external risks involved in vehicle driving. The internal risk analysis includes driver drowsiness detection, ...
Hand gesture and activity recognition in assisted living through wearable sensing and computing
(2011-12)
With the growth of the elderly population, more seniors live alone as sole occupants of a private dwelling than any other population groups. Helping them to live a better life is very important and has great societal ...
Analysis and validation of the field coupled through an aperture in an avionics enclosure
(2017-05)
This work focused on accurately predicting the current response of an equipment under test (EUT) to a random electromagnetic field representing a threat source to model radio frequency directed energy weapons (RFDEWs). The ...
Biomedical signal processing and inference in wearable sensing applications
(2016-12)
With the increase in health care costs, there is a great need to develop a low-cost and efficient health care system with better accessibility. Recent advances in the fields of embedded sensing, mobile computing, and ...
Frequency stability in thin-film piezoelectric-on-substrate oscillators
(2013-12)
For many years, crystal oscillators have been used as the de facto frequency reference in almost all electronic platforms because they offer excellent stability and superior phase noise. This is mainly due to the high ...
