Tunable near-field radiative transfer by III–V group compound semiconductors
(IOP Publishing, 2019-03-06)Near-field radiative transfer (NFRT) refers to the energy transfer mechanism which takes place between media separated by distances comparable to or much smaller than the dominant wavelength of emission. NFRT is due to the ... -
Turbulence impact on wind turbines: experimental investigations on a wind turbine model
(IOP Publishing, 2016)Experimental investigations have been conducted by exposing an efficient wind turbine model to different turbulence levels in a wind tunnel. Nearly isotropic turbulence is generated by using two static squared grids: fine ... -
A type-2 fuzzy controller for floating tension-leg platforms in wind turbines
(MDPI, 2022-03)This paper proposes a type-2 fuzzy controller for floating tension-leg platforms in wind turbines. Its main objective is to stabilize and control offshore floating wind turbines exposed to oscillating motions. The proposed ... -
Understanding selectivity on Germanium/SiO2 chemical mechanical planarization through design of experiments

Validation and comparison of 2D and 3D numerical simulations of flow in simplex nozzles
(Europe, Institute for Liquid Atomization and Spray Systems, ILASS, 2021-08-31)Numerical simulations of pressure swirl atomizers are computationally expensive due to transient and multiphase flow behavior. In this study, 2D and 3D VOF simulations are performed for a geomerty which has high swirl ... -
Variable ankle stiffness improves balance control: experiments on a bipedal exoskeleton
(IEEE, 2016-02)This paper proposes a real-time balance control technique that can be implemented to bipedal robots (exoskeletons, humanoids) whose ankle joints are powered via variable physical stiffness actuators. To achieve active ... -
Visual needle tip tracking in 2D US guided robotic interventions
(Elsevier, 2019-02)Percutaneous needle procedures are among the most frequently performed minimally invasive surgical procedure. For tracking the needle tip in the tissue, 2D ultrasound (US) imaging is commonly used; however, the low resolution ... -
Visual tracking of biopsy needles in 2D ultrasound images
(2016)Ultrasound (US) is one the most commonly used medical imaging techniques in percutaneous needle procedures. However, US images are inherently noisy and contain excessive number of artifacts. Hence, it is not easy to track ... -
Visual tracking of multiple moving targets in 2D ultrasound guided robotic percutaneous interventions
(IEEE, 2017)Percutaneous needle procedures are mostly carried out with the guidance of 2D ultrasound (US) imaging. US images are inherently noisy and their resolutions are low. Hence, target tracking can be challenging. Image based ... -
