Although SF6 gas is characterized by a strong global warming potential, traditionally, it has been employed universally as the dielectric insulation gas for most electrical equipment because of its excellent technical performances. With the emergence of environmental regulations for ... En savoir plus
Existing commercial pyrolysis systems do not have the capability to perform millisecond-scale temporal analysis of pyrolysis vapors that can provide time-resolved experimental data on the reactive and stable gas-phase intermediates predicted by models based on Density Functional Theory ...

The blood-brain barrier presents a unique and highly selective semipermeable barrier composed of endothelial and supporting cells. In stressed states, such as during systemic inflammation, the barrier can become “leaky”, increasing in permeability and leading to unwanted solutes from the ... En savoir plus
Ferrofluid sloshing vibration energy harvesters are the recent addition in the domain of vibration energy harvesting systems. These systems are unique in their use of a liquid state transduction mechanism to harvest ambient vibrations/oscillations to generate electric power. In this ... En savoir plus
Canada’s plan for the long-term management of spent nuclear fuel in a deep geologic repository (DGR) designed by the Canadian Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO) consists of a steel used fuel cannister (UFC) with a copper coating surrounded by a highly compacted bentonite (HCB) ...

This work computationally characterizes a new bipolar electrochemical sensing scheme recently developed for inexpensive detection of heavy metals in water. The sensing scheme employs a two-step optical anodic strip voltammetry protocol that couples a closed bipolar electrochemical cell ... En savoir plus
Microphysiological systems (MPS) combine microfluidics, MEMS, and biotechnology techniques to mimic human organ function in vitro. Such devices are being developed to provide better levels of tissue and organ functionality compared with conventional cell culture systems, and have great ... En savoir plus
Hemolysis caused by flow-induced mechanical damage to red blood cells is a concern in devices that involve transporting blood. Mathematical models have been proposed to estimate red blood cell damage in blood flow. We used hemolysis mathematical models to evaluate the effect of ... En savoir plus
Microporous structures have been broadly used for a wide range of applications, such as integrated circuit packages, binders, surface coatings and filtration systems. We have developed microporous non-volatile emulsion thermosets (MiNET), a new class of composite resins made from epoxies ... En savoir plus
Near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM) unifies the potential of scanning probe technology with the power of optical microscopy as if like having eyes into the nanoworld. To efficiently channel the illumination light to the tip apex and acquire optical images beyond the diffraction ... En savoir plus
