Reliable cost-optimal deployment of wireless sensor networks by DeifAllah, Dina Salah

“…We coin the problem of finding such deployments, for a given set of application-specific parameters, the Minimum-Cost Reliability-Constrained Sensor Node Deployment Problem (MCRC-SDP). To accomplish the aim of the dissertation, we propose a novel WSN reliability metric which adopts a more accurate SN model than the model used in the existing metrics. …”

Circuit design techniques for Power Efficient Microscale Energy Harvesting Systems by Eltaliawy, Ayman Abdelaziz

“…The target application of this study is a Wireless Sensor Node/Network (WSN) because its applications are very wide and power management in it is a big issue, as it is very hard to replace the battery of a WSN after deployment. …”

Parallel implementation of an algorithm for high resolution range profiling using a stepped frequency radar by Mukherjee, Soma

“…After having successfully implemented the parallel algorithm in a 5 node cluster some timing tests were performed. From the performance analysis it can be inferred that though the parallel system is highly scalable it suffers from high communication overhead. …”

The Mbokodofication of Black Women: An Autoethnographic Study of Post Dramatic Stress and the ‘Strong Black Woman' Trope by Ngcobo, Balindile

“…The ways in which the dramatic paradigm reproduces coloniality are explored and code-switching is proposed as a potential aesthetic liberator for performers who wish to obfuscate and make visible certain elements of Black womanhood from the violent colonial gaze and thus protect themselves from post-dramatic stress. …”

Elastic Mesh Deformation for Internal Flows with Moving Boundaries by Mohammed, Ali Alaa Abdelkareem Awad

“…As such a tank with a flexible internal beam serves as the tested case employed in this work. As such a computer code was developed and the elastic deformation was implemented via the Finite Element Galerkin method with two methods to control the element's distortion near the moving boundaries, Jacobian-based stiffening modification and the distance criterion method. …”
