Offshore operations, using Robotically Operated Vehicles (ROVs) in areas with high ambient temperatures require ampacity limitations to be established. Specifically, the risk of overheating ROV umbilicals and tethers when running at high power, due to multiple layers on winch drums is a ... 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) ...

Micro-Electro-Mechanical Devices such as acoustics sensors, finger print sensors, tunable capacitors etc. are widely used in commercial applications. The pressure sensors use membranes which deflect upon applied pressure load. The most important aspect of any pressure sensor is its ... Read More
Thrombosis is the formation of a thrombus or blood clot within a vessel to maintain the integrity of the circulatory system [1]. The process involves surface interactions, with coagulation leading to the formation of thrombin and a fibrin network, and platelet aggregation [2]. ... Read More
Emerging battery technologies are addressing applications of renewable and fossil fuel energy sources since they can store and release energy on demand. In recent years significant strides have been made in lithium battery technology. Lithium batteries are the primary sources of power in ... Read More
Nature inspired innovation powered many engineering innovation. For example, Bird inspired flight helped us to develop intercontinental flying long range aircraft with efficiency as comparable to transcontinental migratory birds. But, short range air travel, efficiency is much lower than ... Read More
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
Modeling the effects of electromagnetic fields on biological structures on the order of the body and tissues to the micro (1e-6)-and nano (1e-9) level of cells and sub-cellular structures presents formidable challenges. We share the major lessons we have learned using COMSOL ... Read More
Innovative materials, such as ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced-concrete (UHP-FRC), provide an opportunity to reduce building energy loss by developing energy-efficient facade panels. However, investigating the thermal performance of these façade systems without considering the ... Read More
Thermal ablation is a treatment option in oncology that can be used to target primary and metastatic cancers. In this approach, high temperature heating is administered at the target tumor site to induce coagulative necrosis of malignant cells. One minimally invasive method for ... Read More
