Our clothing comes with instructions hidden in its interiors. If you are one of those people who actually read them, care labels are the guides to keeping washable softline items, like our clothes and linens, looking good throughout their lifecycle. Sometimes there are just symbols, but they are...

In every thermal upgrading process, short-chain hydrocarbons contain a part of the gas byproducts. These compounds are hydrogen-rich materials, which are considered as low value wastes. In this study, the efforts were made to catalytically convert these off-gases to liquid fuels. Synthetic gases...

We demonstrate the development of a real-time cell analysis (RTCA) platform for studying nanoparticle- and arsenic-induced cytotoxicity with potential applications to risk assessment, environmental toxicity monitoring, and drug development. RTCA is an impedance-based in vitro detection system...

The clothes we wear when we go outside, go hiking, or go to the gym aren’t there just to make a fashion statement. Rather, they serve a purpose: to keep us warm, to keep us cool, to keep us dry. As the active-wear industry has boomed over the past several years and fabric technology has...

20Cr-32Ni-1Nb stainless steel alloys are commonly used in hydrogen reformer manifolds for transporting hot hydrogen by-products at 750-950 celcius. After long periods of exposure, embrittling secondary carbides and intermetallic phases can precipitate at the grain boundaries which can drastically...

Waterflooding is one enhanced oil recovery process used in heavy oil reservoirs such as at Cold Lake in North-Eastern Alberta. However, little has been published in terms of imaging heavy oil waterfloods, mainly due to the similar densities of water and heavy oil, which makes it difficult to...

Particulate matter emitted from two direct injection engines has been characterized by morphology, volatility, mass-mobility exponent, effective density, and size distribution using tandem measurements from a centrifugal particle mass analyzer (CPMA) and differential mobility analyzers (DMA). The...

Chemicals play a crucial role in the textile industry. Without chemicals, the production of yarn, fabric, garments, and other textile products would be close to impossible on an industrial basis. In addition, the available textile products would be whatever color the color the natural fiber was...

My PhD thesis primarily focuses on exploring chiroptical events and signatures of chiral transition metal complexes when they are under (near) resonance conditions. To achieve this goal, multiple chiroptical spectroscopic techniques were utilized, aided by theoretical calculations. These...

Psychological assessment of the aesthetic value of textiles is subjective and can vary according to warmth, physical sensations, social perceptions, body image,1 seasonal experiences, and pressure comfort.2 However, the visual senses have a universal impact on determining aesthetics, particularly...
