Sensorineural hearing loss, which is the most common type of hearing impairment, originates from damaged inner ear nerves. However, this can be treated in many cases by regenerating the synaptic connections between the extant Spiral Ganglion Neurons (SGNs) and transplanted human stem ... Read More
Solar energy storage has been an extensive research topic among the several thermal energy applications over the past three decades. Thermal energy storage (TES) systems in general, improve the energy efficiency of systems and sustainability of buildings by reducing the mismatch between ... Read More
Three-dimensionally varying flattened Luneburg Lens structure whose axisymmetric invariance of material parameters is calculated by conformal mapping, presents a numerical challenge for three dimensional modelling. To address this problem, conventionally a two dimensional quasi-conformal ... Read More
Navy systems, such as turbine engines, produce large quantities of thermal energy. This energy is a byproduct of the work produced by the engine during operation and is typically rejected to its surroundings. The temperature difference between the turbines and the ocean is substantial ... Read More
Traditionally, municipal sewer and water agencies have relied on acoustic data loggers and closed-circuit television cameras to inspect pipes for leaks. In addition, the same legacy techniques have been used to certify new and rehabilitated pipes as watertight. Unfortunately, visually ... Read More
The primary enclosure of an injected formulation is almost exclusively comprised of a glass container (syringe) and an elastomer closure (i.e. plunger). A failed injection is anything that prevents the full dosage of the drug to be administered, whether that is a glass breakage or ... Read More
Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy (SECM) is a powerful noninvasive analytical technique employed in a variety of applications ranging from electrochemical characterization of material surfaces, to bioanalytical characterization of single live cells [1]. When applied to live cells, SECM ... Read More
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 ... Read More
This paper focuses on the use of the COMSOL Multiphysics® software to develop a 2D numerical model of expansion joints for road tunnels. The model was developed using the coefficient form PDEs interface. The model includes water and energy conservation equations. It takes into account ... Read More
The Roberval Balance, invented in 1669 by French mathematician Gilles de Roberval, is a unique balance that has perplexed many upon first encountering the mechanism. This mechanism is a parallelogram that when its arms comprise a perfect parallelogram and the moveable weights or poises ... Read More
