An investigation into fluid flow and heat transfer of high frequency synthetic jets for electronics cooling
(2016-04)
Modern electronics have been decreasing in size for decades, so their cooling systems must continually improve in efficiency too. In particular, compactness is vital, which is challenging because typical thermal management ...
Robust estimation of term structure and implied volatility in emerging markets
(2016-07)
Despite powerful advances in interest rate curve modeling for data-rich countries in the last 30 years, comparatively little attention has been paid to the key practicalproblem of estimation of the term structure of interest ...
Challenges for radiative transfer 1: towards the effective solution of conjugate heat transfer problems
(Elsevier, 2018-12)
This paper lists crucial challenges in radiative transfer with the objective of gathering information on improving and choosing methods for solving conjugate heat transfer problems. Developments in computational and ...
Formulations and branch-and-cut algorithms for the generalized vehicle routing problem
(Informs, 2011-08)
The generalized vehicle routing problem (GVRP) consists of finding a set of routes for a number of capacitated vehicles on a graph where the vertices are partitioned into clusters with given demands, such that the total ...
Combining and solving sequence dependent traveling salesman and quadratic assignment problems in PCB assembly
(Elsevier, 2015-09-10)
In this study we undertake the optimization of chip shooter component placement machines which became popular in assembling printed circuit boards (PCB) in recent years. A PCB is usually a rectangular plastic board on which ...
Patterned polymer films using soft lithography and micro molding in capillaries (MIMIC)
(2017-05)
This research work reports a low cost method to pattern large area surfaces using soft-lithographic approach through several polymers, particularly with the self-assembly of block co-polymers (BCPs) and also by fabricating ...
Three essays on the behavior of equity market returns
(2016-12)
The first chapter of this thesis analyzes return comovements phenomena known as correlation asymmetry. The phenomena has its two manifests: asymmetric correlations, referring to stock return correlations being higher during ...
Using eigenvoices and nearest-neighbours in HMM-based cross-lingual speaker adaptation with limited data
(2017-08)
Thesis abstract: Cross-lingual speaker adaptation for speech synthesis has many applications, such as use in speech-to-speech translation systems. Here, we focus on cross-lingual adaptation for statistical speech synthesis ...
Effect of electrostatic stabilization on thermal radiation transfer in nanosuspensions: Photo-thermal energy conversion applications
(Elsevier, 2018-04)
Solar thermal collectors are among the most important photo-thermal energy conversion systems. Effectiveness of these systems is measured by the ability of working fluid to absorb incident radiative energy. Although ...
Adaptive OFDM-based acoustic underwater transmission: system design and experimental verification
(2017-08)
In this study, we design and implement an adaptive Underwater Acoustic (UWA) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system employing adaptive modulation and transmit power. Recently, UWA communications gain more ...
