Experimental and Numerical Studies of a New Quartz Atomizer for Vaping Devices

A new atomizer for vaping devices will be studied experimentally and numerically. The visualization of the flow inside the atomizer microchannels and the liquid film formed over to the top surface of the atomizer (with and without surface heating) will be attempted. Aerosol characterization using Phase Doppler Anemometer (PDA) will be conducted. In addition, numerical […]

Optimization of Soil Parameters for Deep Excavations by Inverse Analysis

The proposed research aims to optimize soil model parameters through inverse analysis of deep excavations. Soil properties and their engineering behavior are the fundamental uncertainties among the many influential factors involved in deep excavations. Even though geotechnical investigations are usually conducted, the risks are still high due to the limited amount of soil samples extracted […]

Assessing the role of over-wintering marine sites in supporting declining Surf Scoters (Melanitta perspicillata) in the Salish Sea.

Many populations of marine birds in the Salish Sea are declining rapidly, yet the source of these declines remains unclear. This project focuses on assessing changes relative to historical surveys in diet, body condition, and prey availability of Surf Scoters in several nearshore marine areas. This study employs methods of DNA metabarcoding to assess diet […]
