As a part of the Pan-Canadian framework for clean growth, Canada is intent on meeting its 2030 emission targets for which 17% of Canada’s total Green House Gas emissions come from buildings. Given this challenge, emphasis is being placed on developing building designs having greatly ... En savoir plus
The yield and selectivity of a chemical reactor are controlled by the rates of desired reactions relative to those of undesired side reactions. These reaction rates are controlled by the local concentration of reactants, as often described by elementary rate laws. Chemical engineers ... En savoir plus
When a material is subjected to a sudden change in electric field, the polarization of the material takes a finite time to respond – this phenomenon is referred to as dielectric relaxation. Dielectric relaxation is critical to understanding the important analytic technique of impedance ... En savoir plus
Sulfidation corrosion of Nickel based super-alloy turbine blades is one form of corrosion that adversely affects blade performance. It results in a depletion zone involving magnetic corrosive byproducts with a high relative permeability [1]. Magnetometers are sometimes used in non ... En savoir plus
Nitinol self-expanding stents are most commonly used to widen the passage of a restricted blood vessel. Unlike balloon-expandable stents, nitinol allows the stent to recover large strains caused by mechanical stresses due to its superelasticity. Self-expanding stents are first crimped to ...

Selective Laser Melting (SLM), like many other additive manufacturing techniques, offers flexibility in design expected to become a disruption to the manufacturing industry. The current cost of SLM process does not favor a try-and-error way of research; which gives more room for ... En savoir plus
Abstract The standard diamond-shaped mesh spacers commonly used in spiral wound membrane elements results in non-ideal hydrodynamics that can lead to fouling, which ultimately reduces the flux of water through the membrane and the operational life of the unit. To address this ... En savoir plus
Research <em>in vitro</em> and in small animals has shown electric fields (EFs) induce directional migration in stem cells along an electrical potential gradient, a process known as cell electrotaxis, or cell galvanotaxis1,2. We built a first-pass COMSOL model to identify ... En savoir plus
Abstract: Line resolution, uniformity and focusing are the three (3) most important factors in the use of electron-beam lithography to form either high resolution masks or direct-write device etch patterns. This paper will present the observations and analyses made from a group of COMSOL ... En savoir plus
Background: TTFields are being investigated for treatment of brain metastasis. Although vasogenic edema is the most common type of associated cerebral edema, other forms of edema might arise within the brain due to prior treatment or other confounding effects. Therefore, we seek to ... En savoir plus
