Remote Monitoring Systems For Substructural Health Monitoring
Remote Wireless Monitoring Systems have made a large impact in the area of Structural Health Monitoring. However in the specialized sub-field of Substructural Health Monitoring, remote monitoring techniques have not made as much headway. First, monitoring systems are often retrofitted onto a …

Monitoring desire
… and their potential transgressive relationships. Monitoring Desire was a performance at Harvard University's Science Center that, through a guerrilla act of appropriation, captured the image on the Center's informational monitor. The act of capture was performed by two women and took place within …

Social impact assessment monitoring the Huntly monitoring project in retrospect
The emerging field of Social Impact Assessment Monitoring is critically examined through a review of the Huntly Monitoring Project (HMP). A summary of the HMP, which is both reflexive and critical, identifies practical issues and criticisms arising from that research experience, as well as …

Non-intrusive water utility monitoring and free-space load monitoring
… switch. This sensor could supplement a power monitoring system by helping to localize the activation of loads.

Body monitoring system
… a communication interface which allows remote monitoring. Advances in low cost sensors allow a network of body monitoring sensors to be created. Interfacing these sensors together with an FPGA and adding the ability to transmit the data recorded provides real time monitoring with the ability of …

Fatigue Monitoring System
This work provides an innovative solution for monitoring fatigue for users behind workstations. A web camera was adjusted to work in near infrared range and a system of 880 nm IR diodes was implemented to create an IR vision system to localize and track the eye pupils. The software developed …

Building condition monitoring
The building sector of the United States currently consumes over 40% of the United States primary energy supply. Estimates suggest that between 5 and 30% of any building's annual energy consumption is unknowingly wasted due to pathologically malfunctioning lighting and comfort conditioning systems. …

Wireless energy monitoring system
Monitoring, controlling, and managing the energy usage in houses or buildings are tasks that not many electric power companies can do with the exception of a few. This sort of operations may be important to households who want to monitor and possibly even control and manage their own electrical …

Non-Contact Sleep Monitoring
… living, particularly through longitudinally monitoring deviations in behavioural and health metrics. Overall health status is contingent on multiple factors including, but not limited to, physical health, mental health, and social and emotional wellbeing; sleep is implicitly linked to each of …

Multifrequency monitoring of blazars
The work presented in this thesis summarises the research carried out by the author. As an introduction, the variability of blazars is described and the various models believed to be responsible for the emission mechanisms which power these objects are discussed. The core blazars which have been …

Automatic river quality monitoring
Automatic river quality monitoring (ARQM) is potentially an important tool in water quality management for the National Rivers Authority (NRA) and similar organisations worldwide. The information produced by ARQM systems must be used in the most effective way and fully integrated with the manual …

Drinking Water Quality Monitoring
This dissertation involves two different studies. The first concerns the real-time detection of microbial contamination in drinking water using intrinsic fluorescence of the microorganisms. The prototype, “Blinky”, uses LEDs that emit light at 365nm, 590nm, and 635nm for ultraviolet, amber, and red …

Shipboard aggregate power monitoring
… vital information that can provide performance monitoring and automatic diagnostic functions. This thesis will address the issue of sensor-count reduction through the application of Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring (NILM) technology. Theoretical studies and field experiments will be presented in …

Video based system monitoring
… to develop video-based techniques for autonomous monitoring of systems in industrial, manufacturing, and research environments. We develop an algorithm, Dynamic Time and Space Warping, to determine a model-free similarity between an example and an unknown video. The algorithm optimally shifts …

The BigDawg monitoring framework
In this thesis, I designed and implemented a monitoring framework for the BigDawg federated database system which maintains performance information on benchmark queries. As environmental conditions change, the monitoring framework updates existing performance information to match current …

Multimodality monitoring in paediatric severe traumatic brain injury : the contributions of brain oxygen, transcranial doppler and autoregulation monitoring to conventional methods on monitoring
… to the brain. This relies on conventional monitoring tools to identify patients at risk, but often these may fail to detect important secondary insults. Moreover, the therapies that are used commonly in the critical care environment all have potential adverse effects, many of which may not …
