Many factors, both intrinsic and extrinsic to textile material and its wearers, will influence the flammability and fire incidence potential of fibers, fabrics, textiles, and their usage in wearing apparel. These factors are known contributors to textile flammability, and can be considered singly...

The warm vaporized solvent injection process has been proposed as a more environmentally friendly alternative to steam-based technologies for bitumen recovery. The process typically involves injecting heated solvent vapor into a horizontal injector; the solvent condenses and dissolves into...

Artificial Neural Network (ANN) has gained great interest in industrial applications due to their supremacy in modelling complex process behaviour. Applications of ANN include process modelling, optimization and fault diagnosis. However, pure data-driven approaches that use only observations to...

In this thesis, we consider two closely related clustering problems, Min Sum k-Clustering (MSkC) and Balanced k-Median (BkM). In Min Sum k-clustering, one is given a graph and a parameter k, and has to partition the vertices in the graph into k clusters to minimize the sum of pairwise distances...

If you cringed after reading this article title, you are not alone. Spiders’ signature eight legs, sticky webs, and dropin mentality don’t endear them to everyone. However, beyond the innate fear factor that they conjure in some, spiders have fascinating capabilities and a presence in ecosystems...

Evaluating several pathological conditions such as low-back pain, scoliosis, herniated discs, and postural stability after spinal cord injury or chronic stroke requires a deep understanding of the inter-spinal interactions. Assessing the kinetics of the human head-arms-trunk (HAT) could provide...
