Understanding the movement of water within a polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell is critical for improving performance at high loads. In this work, an experimental setup was designed and assembled for monitoring the in situ distribution of water contained within the anode and cathode of...

Tooth extraction (exodontia) is among the most common surgical procedures in healthcare, driven by the prevalence of tooth decay and periodontal disease. Traditionally, tooth extraction is completed with forceps and the exertion of combined loads about the tooth’s centre of rotation. This...

In recent years, rail transport of Canadian crude oil and coal has grown. While transportation of oil and coal by rail has demonstrated benefits, it has also raised significant concerns about transportation safety and potential impacts to the environment. In this regards, rolling contact fatigue...

Pipeline hydro-transport of agricultural residue biomass to bio-based energy facilities, e.g. a bio-refinery, is considered to be a more economically favorable method than truck delivery. Pipeline hydro-transport not only benefits from economy of scale, but also reduces the environmental and...
