Complex systems of moving and interacting objects are ubiquitous in the natural and social sciences. Predicting their behaviour often requires models that mimic these systems with sufficient accuracy, while accounting for their inherent stochasticity. Although tools exist to determine which of a...

Energy storage units are widely used in power systems to increase grid reliability to compensate the risks imposed due to massive integration of intermittent sources, as well as serve as spinning reserves. High efficiency dc-dc converters are required as an interface between the storage units and...

Inefficient mobile software kills battery life. Yet, developers lack the tools necessary to detect and solve energy bugs in software. In addition, developers are usually tasked with the creation of software features and triaging existing bugs. This means that most developers do not have the time...

Kidneys are essential organs located on either side of the vertebral column which perform several essential bodily functions. When there is a gradual, permanent loss of basic kidney functions, a person is said to have Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). CKD has been identified to be a global public...

In snow-dominated regions, snow storage is a primary water resource contributing to surface water (SW) and groundwater (GW) supplies. Snow drought is defined as either lack of snow storage or high-temperature-induced early snowmelt, leading to a loss of snow water resources. GW drought refers to...

The mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae, Hopkins 1902), an invasive bark beetle native to North America, has expanded its habitat from central British Columbia to Northern Alberta. This expansion poses an immediate threat to jack pine forests, which extend from Alberta to Nova Scotia....

The Arctic and the North Atlantic Oceans are experiencing multiple stresses such as loss of sea ice, changing atmospheric patterns, increasing wind energy at the ocean surface and larger freshwater discharge to coastal regions. To address how the marine system may respond to these stresses I...

Newer energy codes for buildings in Canada now require energy losses associated with thermal bridging in smaller components to be accounted for. In masonry cavity wall systems, most of the energy losses from thermal bridging are due to structural penetrations at floor levels located at the shelf...
