This thesis deals with the control and protection of Multi-Terminal DC (MTDC) transmission systems based on Voltage-Source Converters (VSCs). The MTDC system enables several AC systems to be integrated by way of a DC network. Potential applications of the MTDC…

This thesis aimed to provide a knowledge base and methodologies to help minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) in healthcare. Two methods were developed, for the first time, to quantify EMI risk due to radio frequency (RF) sources in hospitals. The first…

In this thesis, we present two new methods to overcome the effects of both camera calibration errors and partial emptiness of surface voxels in voxel-coloring. Voxel-coloring is a relatively new volumetric method for 3D scene reconstruction from multiple calibrated views.…

The object of software frameworks is to mechanize human processes in order to accomplish high-level tasks that call upon diverse software tools. This thesis describes the ELISA framework prototype which performs power-system dynamic security analysis in the operations planning environment.…

This work generalizes the Liu and Elia dirty-paper coding scheme to include feedback channels with additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and intersymbol interference (ISI). An optimal scheme is derived which achieves lossless interference cancellation, performs arbitrarily close to the feedback…
