Optimized clean hydrogen production using nuclear small modular reactor and concentrated solar power as a renewable energy source
(2022-12-01)
According to current predictions, hydrogen will serve as a key fuel and energy source by decreasing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In this research an integral Pressurized Water Reactor-type Small Modular Reactor (iPWR-type ...
A novel deep learning architecture and large-scale benchmark for robust object detection in traffic surveillance and analysis
(2022-12-01)
Upstream technologies such as traffic surveillance provide helpful information to downstream intelligent transportation systems intending to improve the safety, mobility, and efficiency of road-users whilst reducing their ...
Incremental learning algorithm for anomaly detection applied to computed tomography scans in nuclear industry
(2022-12-01)
During routine nuclear power plant (NPP) inspection, each maintenance tool is inspected manually before and after use on a nuclear reactor. This could result in long inspection duration (up to months), time, and resource ...
Manipulator’s configuration design, excavation path generation, and underground object detection for an autonomous electric excavator
(2022-12-01)
Construction is an industrial sector that requires high labor costs and is exposed to harsh and hazardous environmental conditions. As a solution to these problems, an autonomous excavator is expected in high demand. To ...

(2022-04-01)
Computer systems have become an integral part of our daily lives. The Internet of Things (IoT) has recently attracted considerable attention in the information technology industry due to its various benefits. IoT activities ...
Design, performance, and economic evaluation of grid-connected renewable power generation system for Iqaluit community
(2022-08-01)
The high demand for clean and green energy is due to the rise in global temperature as the climate is affected using fossil fuel for energy generation in the arctic region. Nunavut is rich in renewable resources like wind ...
A real-time 12-lead electrocardiogram remote patient monitoring and analytics framework
(2022-10-01)
This work presents XBeats: A machine learning-based framework for real-time electrocardiogram monitoring and analysis that uses edge computing and data analytics for early anomaly detection. The framework encompasses a ...
Lateral stability analysis and MPC tracking control for articulated heavy vehicles
(2022-10-01)
Articulated heavy vehicles (AHVs) exhibit poor maneuverability during curved-path negotiations and low lateral stability under high-speed evasive maneuvers, which may lead to unstable motion modes, e.g., trailer-sway and ...
Improving cold climate performance of heat pumps using market-available systems
(2022-10-01)
Air source heat pumps are an excellent electric alternative to fossil fuel based heating systems for reducing residential greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, but common mild climate systems suffer significant performance losses ...
Microreactor for remote Canadian communities
(2022-11-01)
Remote Canadian communities rely on diesel generators for their electricity needs. Providing such generators with fuel year-round presents challenges because of inclement weather and long transportation distances involved. ...
