Novel anode catalysts have been developed for sour natural gas solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) applications. Sour natural gas comprises light hydrocarbons, and typically also contains H2S. An alternative fuel SOFC that operates directly on sour natural gas would reduce the overall cost of plant...

SOFCs which can directly operate under high concentration of H2S would be economically beneficial as this reduces the cost of gas purification. H2S is highly reactive gas specie which can poison most of the conventional catalysts. As a result, developing anode materials which can tolerate high...

Alternans occur prior to ventricular fibrillation and is a medical condition of heart that leads to sudden cardiac death (SCD). The presence of the electrical alternans induces, through the mechanism of the excitation-contraction coupling, an alternation in the heart muscle contractile activity....

The Canadian economy relies heavily on its transportation network. It supports hundreds of thousands of jobs, contributes billions to the economy, and facilitates the movement of goods within the country as well as internationally. Railways provide affordable and efficient transportation to over...

A Lennard-Jones gas confined by two parallel solid walls was studied using non-equilibrium Molecular Dynamics, where one-dimensional, steady heat flow was introduced through the gas. Under this condition, the velocity distribution in the direction of heat flow was found to develop skewness and...

The rise in motor vehicle ownership has become not only an environmental issue, but also a public health threat as pollutants emitted negatively affect human health (Deng et al., 2017). One such pollutant is particulate matter, which has been regulated by a variety of countries because it...

The morphology and physicochemical properties of bacterial cells at the molecular level influence their adhesion to surfaces and interfaces. In this study, atomic force microscopy (AFM) was used to explore the morphology of soft, living cells in aqueous buffer, to map bacterial surface...

In this research, the phase behavior of rod like nano crystalline cellulose (NCC) suspensions has been investigated. NCC suspensions with concentration at 1-4wt.% exhibited isotropic behavior,a mixture of isotropic-nematic behaviorat 4 - 6wt.%, and nematic phase behaviorat 7- 10wt.%. Then, both...

In the Sudbury Basin nickel deposit, the presence of a less common nickel sulphide mineral – millerite (beta-NiS) has a substantial impact on the Cu/Ni flotation separation efficiency. In this study, the flotation chemistry of millerite in alkaline solutions was investigated with pure minerals...
