Our atmosphere, land, and water are being continuously besieged by pollutants caused by such events as heavy metals leaching from mine tailing ponds, chemical spills from railroad and truck tanker accidents, and petroleum pipeline failures, to name just a few. These environmental ... Read More
It has been well proved that hydrogen represents a harmful element for steels because it can easily embrittle them. This phenomenon is known as Hydrogen Embrittelement (H.E.) and it leads to a serious decrease in mechanical properties especially loss of ductility. The studied material is ... Read More
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 ... Read More
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 ... Read More
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 ... Read More
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 ... Read More
