Characterizing Naval Ship Systems Power and Energy Metrics through Modeling and Analysis
… a framework for analyzing shipboard power and energy systems as a repeatable process to differentiate between preferred solutions within a design tradespace. The Naval design community needs a consistent method for evaluating non-functional requirements, called “ilities,” in the early design …

Process developments and critical design attributes in buffer systems for the biopharmaceutical industry
… Intensity (PMI) and embodied and operational energy metrics demonstrated that the economically favourable strategies were also environmentally advantageous, with optimised scenarios reducing PMI and energy metrics by up to 90%. Single-use technology was found to provide environmental benefits …

Low-power digital processor for wireless sensor networks
… computations per second and draws 1.2nJ of total energy per cycle. Although this energy/cycle metric does not surpass existing low-energy processors demonstrated in literature or commercial products, several low-power techniques are suggested that could drastically improve the energy metrics of a …

Circular chemistry through network science and optimisation on big data
… three main areas for development: data, metrics, and decision-making, and investigates the use of networks within the areas. Networks provide an interlinked framework for reaction information (data), are key to assess flows of mass and energy (metrics), and form the basis of optimisation …

Using Alternative Data Visualization Formats to Impact Residents Energy Estimation of Household Appliances
… message when designed with the end user in mind. Energy data visualizations must be tailored to the resident's energy, graphical, and data literacy level. A resident's energy, graphical, and data literacy level depicts their understanding and life experience with energy. Current utility companies …

Energy aware network coding in wireless networks
Energy is one of the most important considerations in designing reliable low-power wireless communication networks. We focus on the problem of energy aware network coding. In particular, we investigate practical energy efficient network code design for wireless body area networks (WBAN). We first …

Ensemble methods in computational protein and ligand design : applications to the Fc[gamma] immunoglobulin, HIV-1 protease, and ketol-acid reductoisomerase systems
This thesis explores the use of ensemble, free energy models in the study and design of molecular, biochemical systems. We use physics based computational models to analyze the molecular basis of binding affinity in the context of protein-protein and protein-ligand binding as well as reaction rate …

Hybrid routing and bridging strategies for large scale mobile ad hoc networks
… support, and efficiency. Furthermore, power and energy metrics, such as path fading and battery capacity considerations, are integrated into the routing decision (cost function) in order to improve PSR's power efficiency and network lifetime. It is demonstrated that the proposed routing protocol …
