The global rise in population and rapid industrialization and urbanization have resulted in a significant increase in wastewater production, putting a strain on existing treatment facilities. This has led to the release ...

This thesis focuses on the study of two important aspects of physical human-robot interaction (pHRI): perceived safety– the subjective feeling of safety of a human operator in the physical presence of a robot– and perceived ...

The automatic heart sound classification is an integral part of the early diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases(CVDs). Even though advances in medical technologies allow us to diagnose many CVDs, it remains one of the ...

Sensors’ data is used in monitoring patient activity during rehabilitation and also can be extended to controlling rehabilitation devices based on the activity of the person. Both wearable sensors and extracted skeleton ...

The Hawking effect predicts that black holes can emit particles and energy when quantum mechanical effects are taken into account in quantum atmosphere around the black hole. However, certain models of black holes emit ...

Permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSMs) (either motor or generator) have attracted attention of research community comparing to other types of AC machines in the recent two decades. PMSMs are preferable than other ...

This thesis presents a novel approach to augmenting human memory using emerging technologies of augmented reality (AR), computer vision (CV), and artificial intelligence (AI). The newly proposed system creates an external ...

Currently, the construction industry consumes enormous amounts of energy and emits one-third of total carbon dioxide emissions over the world. Therefore, it is highly essential to decrease the influence of the building ...

Autism is a neurodevelopmental condition typically diagnosed in early childhood, which is characterized by challenges in using language and understanding abstract concepts, effective communication, and building social ...

Buildings are substantial contributors to greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption. To meet the global carbon reduction goals, the enhancement of energy-efficiency of the buildings is vital. Early selection of key ...
