Accelerated life testing; Reliability (Engineering); Service life (Engineering)
This dissertation is focused on finding lower confidence limits for the reliability of systems consisting of Wei bull components when the reliability demonstration testing (RDT) is conducted with zero failures. The usual methods for the parameter...

The purpose of this dissertation is to develop a methodology to estimate the temporal Environmental Traffic Capacity (ETC) for urban streets. The approach constitutes the main procedure of ETC calculation and an experimental process of developing...
Data encryption (Computer science); Computer networks--Security measures
This thesis describes a method of gaining better
performance from the Blowfish cryptographic algorithm using
GPU acceleration via CUDA (Compute Unified Device
Architecture). It is an attempt to resolve the issue of
the cryptographic process taking...
Current wind power technology is not economically feasible throughout most of the United States due to low average wind speeds. A design for a small-scale wind concentrator device suitable for use in areas of low wind velocity was tested using...
Electric power production; Electric power failures; Hybrid electric vehicles
Electric vehicles are quickly becoming one of the most rapidly growing technologies of this age. With their acceleration to prominence, the concept of Vehicle to Grid (V2G) becomes much more common as well. V2G is normally used as a supplement to...
