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...

Global kinetic model for a Pt-Pd diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) is proposed and validated. Experimental data was obtained using different concentrations of the artificial gas mixtures which were passed over a bimetallic catalyst. Previous works of Voltz [1], Pandya [2], Sola [3] and many others...
