To broadcast a video across the internet, digital video is first encoded to remove the spatial and temporal redundancy. The encoded video data is then transmitted at a lower bit rate or stored in a smaller hard disk without sacrificing too much displaying quality. Various video encoding standards have been developed in last decades. H.264/AVC […]

The pharmaceutical industry spends more funds on drug detailing than on any other marketing instrument. Previous studies have shown a positive effect of detailing on physicians’ prescription behavior. Similar to the effect of advertising, the effect of drug detailing can last for more than one period. This carry-over effect implies that the decision of how […]

Microwave welding is proposed as a fabrication technique for joining thermoplastic polymer based composites. Microwave welding uses microwave energy and in the present study, a domestic microwave has been proposed to carry out the microwave welding of the thermoplastic components. Thermoplastic materials studied in this project will be considered after referring technical literature and in […]

Carbon Upcycling Technologies Inc. is a technological research and development company in Calgary. They chemically adsorb carbon dioxide emissions into carbon-based materials, such as graphitic nanoplates and graphene oxide, and they commercialized the technology. Recently, extending graphene-based materials into drug delivery applications is attracted their attention. However, specific targeting and intracellular trafficking are the most […]

This proposal aims to improve the capability, precision, and durability of the Ignition Quality Tester (IQT™). This project includes an experimental investigation of the following areas; Testing of new primary reference fuels, PRFs, and Check fuels, CFs to expand the range of ASTM D6890-11a standard from (33 to 65 DCN) to (15?100 DCN); Investigate experimentally […]

This research seeks to finalize the design of an indentation tool to help shoulder surgeons determine bone density more accurately during joint replacements. Bone density is an important characteristic used to select the type and size of implant needed; and is also related to how stable an implant remains after surgery. Unfortunately, there aren’t tools […]

Rapidia has developed a water-based approach to metal 3D printing that is faster, simpler, and more cost effective than the current systems on the market. This novel approach enables printed parts to be sintered directly, eliminating the time- and chemically- intensive intermediate de-binding step required for other processes. In order to implement this technique, the […]

stage of its product development project, which is collecting a complete set of measurement data for an array of organic materials with different levels of purity and demonstrate the capability of its proprietary terahertz sensing techniques to qualify and quantify purity and integrity of OLED organic materials with the level of precision required in OLED […]

Aqueous rechargeable zinc ion battery is a competitive candidate for the energy storage system. Compared to lithium ion battery, it has several advantages: high safety, high energy density, low cost and environmental friendliness. From many cathode materials, manganese dioxide (MnO2) has been widely used because of the low cost, abundant resource and environment friendly features. […]

Episodic memory refers to an ensemble of memory processes and is the capacity to recollect where and when past events occurred, which involves subjective consciousness and a sense of time in retrieving past experiences. The hippocampus is essential for representing spatiotemporal context and establishing its association with the sensory details of daily life to form […]
