Modelling calcite dissolution in a rotating disc reaction vessel
(2021-06-01)The carbonate system is ubiquitous in nature, playing a role in many natural and industrial processes. For calcite dissolution, the kinetics and mass transport of the dissolved species reflect both the chemistry of the ... -
Modelling of radioactive particle resuspension after a dirty bomb event
(2023-12-01)The primary hazard of a Dirty Bomb emanates not from the initial detonation but from the subsequent re-suspension of deposited radioactive particles. Although radiological contamination is substantial on surfaces initially, ... -
Modelling the movement of superparamagnetic beads engulfed in endothelial cells
(2018-04-01)Colonization of porous scaffolds with cells is of increasing importance for various tissue engineering applications. Controlled placement of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) within a micro-porous, poly-caprolactone ... -
Modelling, inspection, and post-processing of layer-based additive manufacturing surfaces to maintain product quality
(2017-04-01)Today’s Additive Manufacturing (AM) is mostly layer-based. Despite AM’s great capabilities in fabrication of complex geometries, product’s surface roughness is a limiting factor in many industrial applications. Therefore, ... -
Moderator displacers for reducing coolant void reactivity in CANDU reactors: a neutronics scoping study.
(2014-08-01)When the coolant is voided in a CANDU lattice, the net reactivity change is positive, due primarily to the fact that the coolant and moderator are separated and the coolant volume is much smaller than the moderator volume. ... -
The modification of fuel cell-based breath alcohol sensor materials to improve water retention of sensing performance
(2016-03-01)Fuel cell based breath alcohol sensors (BrASs) are one of the most important tools used by law enforcement today. While these devices are used globally, they all suffer from a common deficiency: reliance on water. The ... -
Modified constraint-induced movement therapy in a day camp for children with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy: intervention effects and consideration of personal factors
(2013-04-01)Constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) has been demonstrated to yield functional improvements for children with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy (CP); however, many studies have reported inconsistent findings with ... -
Modified Nafion membranes for hydrogen production in Cu-Cl thermochemical cycle
(2015-07-01)The decomposition of water by a thermochemical cycle is a promising green method of producing hydrogen on a large scale. A thermochemical cycle is a combination of thermal and chemical reactions that ultimately leads to ... -
Modified wavelet-based pulse width modulation technique for cascaded H-bridge multilevel converter
(2023-08-01)Power electronics (PE) converters are crucial for providing a cost-effective, reliable, and efficient solutions for integrating renewable energy sources (RES) into the electrical grid. Over the years, many converter ... -
A modular approach to image matting
(2022-11-01)Image matting is the art of creating an accurate alpha matte for the purpose of foreground separation in an image or video. Although there have been many methods which only require an input image, the best-performing image ... -
A modular interface framework for multimodal annotations and visualizations in Human-AI collaboration
(2021-07-01)Modular is a web-based annotation, visualization, and inference software plat-form for computational language and vision research. The platform enables researchers to set up an interface for efficiently annotating language ... -
Modulation of corticospinal excitability during arm cycling in humans
(2013-08-01)Animal studies have shown that the basic pattern for locomotor activities are generated via neural networks found in the spinal cord, referred to as central pattern generators (CPGs) (Grillner, 1981). In humans, accumulating ... -
A molecular characterization of agonists that bind to Hco-UNC-49, a GABA-gated chloride channel from Haemonchus contortus
(2012-11-01)Haemonchus contortus is a blood feeding parasitic nematode infecting ruminants causing anemia and poor health at great economic cost. The ability to pharmaceutically control infection has been challenged by the rapid ... -
Molecular characterization of GABA receptor subunits from the parasitic nematode Haemonchus contortus
(2009-08-01)Haemonchus contortus is a parasitic nematode that is controlled by several nematocides which target ion channels. We have identified two H. contortus ion channel genes, Hcounc- 49B and C that encode two GABA-gated chloride ... -
