Mechanistic Characterization of Shredded Tire Stress Dissipation and Drainage Sublayers in Roads to Mitigate Frost Heave in Canadian Field State Conditions

  Annually over a million scrap tires are generated in Saskatchewan which in the past have been disposed of in landfills and streams. At the same time, Saskatchewan has also experienced a drastic increase in truck traffic on roadway infrastructure that is ageing. This has resulted in the need for the construction of new roads and the rehabilitation […]

Wireless Energy Transfer for Low Power Charging Applications

  Wireless energy transfer is the transmission of electrical energy from a power source to an electrical load without interconnecting wires. Wireless energy transmission has distinct advantages over the conventional energy transmission which uses wires and connectors.  The most common form of wireless power transmission is through inductive coupling in which the magnetic field generated by a primary coil […]

Surfactant-Enhanced Soil Washing (SESW) of Bunker C Contaminated Soil

  Soil washing (SESW) is a remediation process which utilizes surfactants in treating soils and sludges which are contained with one or more contaminants. This process, however, has not been employed on soils that are contaminated with Bunker C; a fuel derivative which is very common contaminant in many industrial areas and seaports due to […]

Real time prediction of a wind farm power output

Presently, wind farms in Canada have a capacity of 4,588MW while Newfoundland and Labrador have a capacity of 54MW. Canada’s wind resource is immense and well distributed in rural areas throughout the country and more wind farms are under construction. Utilities need information about wind farm output power few hours in advance so that they […]

Identifying and understanding the impact of competing goals on self-care compliance among patients with Chronic Heart Failure

    Failure to follow self-care recommendations for chronic heart failure (CHF) not only threatens patients’ lives and well-being, but is costly to the health care system. Most approaches to increasing patient compliance are based on the assumption that individuals will adhere w hen armed  with information about “what” (to do) and “why” (they should do it). We […]

Hybrid Solar Panel

The project’s main objective is a further reduction of dependence on fossil fuels in our everyday electric appliances. Fossil Fuels are used to generate electricity and they emit dangerous greenhouse gases to the environment which one of its consequences is the familiar global warming phenomena. By integrating a heat exchanger to the original solar PV […]
