A Methodology for Building and Simulating Synthetic Natural Gas Transmission Grids to Analyze the Interdependencies Between Natural Gas and Electric Power Systems
(2023-05-03)
This thesis presents a methodology for creating and solving of a synthetic combined electric and natural gas transmission network, along with representative benchmark results. The systems do not contain actual, confidential ...
Conversion Function Theory of Switching Power Converters
(2023-04-09)
Switching Power converters are more prominent and more utilized nowadays than at any other time before; we use power converters for power flow control in large alternating current (AC) grids, for connecting several ...
Urban Innovation: Cities Adapting to Climate Change
(2023-05-02)
This dissertation explores factors influencing urban innovation, using climate adaptation as the innovation example. It isn't easy to foster innovation without understanding the stimulus for it. Urban innovation is defined ...
A Statistical Analysis of Cold Wake Formation with Implications for Climate and Tropical Cyclone Intensity
(2023-05-02)
Tropical cyclones (TCs) are dangerous weather events that cause significant damage to infrastructure and loss of life each year. TC track forecasting has improved considerably in recent decades, though improvements to ...
Reproductive Transformation in the Epitokous Clam Worm, Alitta succinea (Nereididae: Annelida)
(2023-04-05)
Members of the species Alitta succinea (Phylum Annelida: Family Nereididae) are errant segmented worms with a cosmopolitan distribution around the greater Atlantic basin. Resilient mobile omnivores, these capable charismatic ...
Development and Advancement of Phage Display Techniques for the Identification of Therapeutic Peptides
(2023-05-03)
Peptides represent an emerging class for drug discovery, with the number of therapeutic peptides nearly doubling in the past twenty years. In spite of the development of many different screening techniques to identify ...
Physiological and Behavioral Costs and Consequences of Fly (Diptera) Exposure for Moose (Alces alces)
(2023-04-21)
I studied the responses of wild ungulates to harassment by flies (Diptera) by reviewing the literature on North American ungulates and studying the behavior and physiology of female moose (Alces alces) in a boreal forest ...
Memristor-Based Crossbar Applications in Machine Learning and Analog Circuit Design
(2023-04-09)
The shift to the AI/ML driven data processing resulted in a significant research demand in this field. Due to the inefficiency of the conventional computers, analog and mixed-signal data processing structures became feasible ...
Demonstration of a High-Speed Endwall Imaging Setup for Studying Ignition Phenomena in a Shock Tube
(2023-04-20)
Inhomogeneous combustion events in shock-tube experiments can be difficult to identify and can be an obstacle to data collection at certain conditions where such nonideal effects are encountered. Understanding these ...
Optimization of a Combined Cooling, Heat, and Power Plant Design for Existing Central Utility Plants
(2023-05-02)
Cost and emission savings with load-following capability are essential factors in the design optimization of Combined Cooling, Heating, and Power (CCHP) systems. This thesis presents a methodology for evaluating CCHP system ...
