Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) affects more than 900 million people around the world (Benjafield et al., 2019). OSA occurs due to obstruction of the airway at different levels of the airway, including upper and lower pharyngeal constrictions due to narrow upper jaw and underdeveloped/backward...

Tissue loss is a health problem that affects millions of people globally. The conventional methods such as the transplantation of autografts and allografts do not always result in full recovery of damaged tissues. Tissue engineering emerged as a field with the ultimate goal of obviating the need...

The important role of a heat storage system in the transition to a low carbon economy is widely acknowledged in scientific literature. In cold regions like Canada, where fossil-based space heating systems are widely used, the associated greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) are a major concern. The use...

Buoyancy driven flow between two finite zones containing fluid of slightly different density is investigated. Two zones separated by (i) a single common doorway, and, (ii) top and bottom vents. In the former case, a two-layer exchange flow develops once the barrier is removed. In the zone that...

Label-free optical biosensors are widely used for the detection of pathogens due to their low-cost, real-time detection and high sensitivity. A Mach-Zehnder Interferometer (MZI) based biosensor has been developed for the detection of gram-positive bacteria, Listeria monocytogenes. An extensive...

Long chained polymers were evaluated for their impact on reducing pipe erosion during two-phase flow. The research study was compartmentalized into three categories. One of the components of this study investigated the erosion of different materials in an attempt to find a faster eroding...
