Non-spherical grains have been gradually receiving attention from both researchers and the industry because of their behavior. Even though these grains possess complex macroscopic orientations that are associated with ...
The complexity and interconnected nature of critical infrastructure systems across metropolitan regions presents a unique challenge for communities to understand how they may respond and recover in the face of a major ...
This report summarizes the results of an analysis evaluating the energy performance of small residential buildings in Canada. Using the HOT2000, an energy simulation modelling program created and maintained by Natural ...
Rainwater management has been challenging for many jurisdictions, including the City of Vancouver, as population growth and climate change strain the drainage and sewer systems leading to implications for water safety. ...
Language modelling for source code is a state-of-the-art method which is developing significantly in recent years. Its applications are found in code completion, translating programming languages from one to another, ...
Froese, Thomas M.; Bristow, David N.; Rankin, Keagan(University College Cork, 2021-06-14)
To improve the green engineering and active learning of the civil engineering program at the University of Victoria, Canada, we are developing a design spine: a series of courses running throughout the program with major ...

Smart grid integrates computer, communication, and sensing technologies into existing
power grid networks to achieve significant informatization-related advantages. It will provide
communication between neighbors, localized ...
Hayajneh, Maymoona; Gulliver, T. Aaron(Entropy, 2023)
In this paper, the security of two-way relay communications in the presence of a passive
eavesdropper is investigated. Two users communicate via a relay that depends solely on energy
harvesting to amplify and forward the ...
Ransomware is malicious software that encrypts data before demanding payment to unlock
them. The majority of ransomware variants use nearly identical command and control (C&C) servers
but with minor upgrades. There are ...
The Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging technology that forms a huge network of
different objects and intelligent devices. IoT Security is becoming more important due to the exchange
of sensitive sensor data and the ...
Conventional energy system models have limitations in evaluating complex choices for
transitioning to low-carbon energy systems and preventing catastrophic climate change. To address
this challenge, we propose a model ...
The complex geometries and material properties necessary for generating accurate organ
mimics require new procedures and methods to fully utilize current technologies. The increased
accessibility of 3D printers, along ...
Life without mobility is inconceivable. To enable this connectivity, one must find a way
to progress towards a more sustainable transportation. In the aviation industry, a comprehensive
understanding of greening technologies ...
Personal authentication security is an essential area of research in privacy and cybersecurity.
For individual verification, fingerprint and facial recognition have proved particularly useful. However,
such technologies ...
Cancer cell migration, as the principal element of tumor invasion, involves different cellular
mechanisms. Various modes of cell migration including single and collective motions contribute
to the invasion patterns. The ...
Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) systems require more than the theoretically needed hydrogen (H_2) fuel gas in the anode supply system to achieve high performance and extended operating life. The ejector-based ...
The reduction of computational costs in the context of the Multidisciplinary Design Optimisation of a typical
medium-range aircraft was investigated through an assessment of active constraints and the use of multi-fidel ...
Amereh, Meitham; Nadler, Ben(Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2022)
The flow of non-spherical grains is strongly affected by the orientation of the grains, as
observed in experiments and simulations. An existing model that predicts the orientation
of grains as a function of the flow field ...
Many universities, commercial companies, and science organizations
who use microscopy have outreach programs. The members
of such generally love to share their enthusiasm and passion with the
next generation. Content ...
Non-technical summary. This paper expands the range of scenarios usually explored in
integrated assessment models by exploring unconventional economic scenarios (steady-state
and degrowth) and assuming no use of negative ...
