In the wake of increasing demand for DC-DC converters with high power density and high efficiency, the design of modern power converters has evolved into a multi-objective optimization problem with multiple uncertainties associated with parameter and component selection. The iterative design...

In this thesis, we develop some new models and efficient algorithms for image denoising. The total variation model of Rudin, Osher, and Fatemi(ROF) for image denoising is considered to be one of the most successful deterministic denoising models. It exploits the non-smooth total variation (TV)...

Because of their high strength to weight ratio, stiffened steel plates are often used in light structures where plates are placed into compression. The stability of steel plates stiffened with longitudinal tee-shaped stiffeners and subjected to uniaxial compression or combined axial compression...

Premature corrosion of reinforcing steel is a cause of concern for steel-reinforced concrete structures, since it causes them to deteriorate before their design operational life is attained. The Use of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars in reinforced-concrete (RC) structures has been shown to...

Old Communication – New Means: The Linguistic Study of Ukrainian Orthodox Church and Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church Websites
DownloadSpring 2014
This dissertation is concerned with the communicative potential of websites. The World Wide Web is a relatively new locale for communication on which an increasing number of users rely daily in Canada and in Ukraine. However, up to the present time there has been no unified framework for the...

Optimization and Energy Management of Battery Energy Storage Systems in Residential and Industrial Applications
DownloadFall 2019
Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) provides a fast and high power capability, making them an ideal solution for residential and industrial application. However, given today’s high investment costs of BESS, a well-matched design and adequate sizing of the storage systems are prerequisites to...

The downturn of the world economy and the increasingly severe competition among mining giants puts forward higher requirements for open-pit mining, which is the dominant method for humans to obtain minerals from the earth. Among these so-called higher requirements, reducing mining costs as much...

Rayner, David Christopher Ferguson
Heuristic search is a central problem in artificial intelligence. Among its defining properties is the use of a heuristic, a scalar function mapping pairs of states to an estimate of the actual distance between them. Accurate heuristics are generally correlated with faster query resolution and...
