A New Class of Resonant Metasurfaces Based on Highly Subwavelength Metamaterial-Lined Apertures and Metamaterial-Coated Discs
DownloadSpring 2019
This work presents analytical, numerical and experimental studies of a new class of resonant metasurfaces (MTSs), which may also be classified as miniaturized-element frequency selective surfaces (FSSs). The proposed MTS unit cells consist of circular aperture or disc resonators that are made...

Advanced Control Techniques for Grid-Interactive Smart Inverters under Asymmetrical Conditions
DownloadSpring 2019
Masoud Mohammadalizadeh Shabestary
Grid-interactive smart inverters (GSIs) are becoming the main interface for integrating modern power units, such as renewable energies, energy storage systems, electric vehicles, distributed generation (DG) units, microgrids, and high-voltage direct-current transmission systems into smart power...

Algorithms of Advanced Fuzzy Clustering: Development, Analysis, and Application to Rule-Based Modeling
DownloadFall 2019
Fuzzy clustering is one of the most significant techniques used to explore the structure of data. With the development of information technology and new requirements arising from data analysis, new challenges have been raised for fuzzy clustering algorithms due to the emerging characteristics of...

Fall 2019
The traditional electric grid based on centralized generation plants and unidirectional transmission and distribution systems is transitioning to a smart grid that is decentralized and multidirectional with high integration of information and communication technologies. With the rapid development...

Capacitive Resonant Single-Conductor System for Wireless Power Transfer to Devices with Metallic Embodiments
DownloadSpring 2019
Vital de Campos de Freitas, Susanna
Although wireless power transfer (WPT) evolved drastically over the past decades, it still strives to be widely commercialized. The most two common methods of near-field contactless power transfer - inductive and capacitive power transfer - face significant obstacles regarding the misalignment...

Combined Photoacoustic and Doppler Ultrasound Imaging for Tissue Oxygen Consumption Estimation
DownloadFall 2019
Oxygen is the substrate that cells use in the greatest quantity and upon which aerobic metabolism and cell integrity depend. Continuous and sufficient supply of oxygen is necessary to maintain normal cellular aerobic metabolism. Failure of oxygen supply to meet metabolic needs is a common feature...
