Effect of diameter ratios on the flow-sound interaction of the straight circular finned cylinders
(2020-01-01)
Finned tubes that are widely used in heat exchangers could be susceptible to the flow-excited acoustic resonance that generates intense pressure fluctuations, which may lead to premature fatigue failure of the tubes. This ...
Experiences in a multi-sport parasport program: the female adolescent perspective
(2020-07-01)
This phenomenological study utilized semi-structured interviewing to understand the experiences of adolescent females (N=3) in a multi-sport parasport program. The results of this study revealed several aspects of the ...

Aim: Explore healthcare practitioners’ capacity within the Central East LHIN to implement cognitive rehabilitation programs to those with dementia.
Methods: This study is designed as a multi-stage qualitative interpretive ...
Characterization of PVA-Borax-fructose gel for the capture of radioactive wastes generated during nuclear decommissioning activities
(2021-05-01)
With the long-term objective of using polymer gels for the capture of solid, liquid and gaseous waste generated from decommissioning works, characterization of gel properties as well as the properties of the individual ...
Design and development of a novel DC/DC bidirectional converter with dual solar/PV-based snow removal and EV charging functionality
(2022-02-01)
Different factors affect solar photovoltaic (PV) systems by decreasing input energy and reducing the conversion efficiency of the system. One of these factors is the effect of snow cover on PV panels, a subject lacking ...
Computational fluid dynamic investigations of flow through an aged CANDU pressure tube
(2021-08-01)
Single-phase, isothermal computational fluid dynamics simulations of twelve simplified CANDUTM 37M fuel bundles sitting in both as-received and aged pressure tubes were performed with Hydra in this work. The predicted ...
Study of contaminants in plasmas during decommissioning processes
(2020-12-01)
With the intention of eventual development of on-site radionuclide capture technologies, methods to simulate radionuclide behaviour when contaminated components are subjected to plasma-based decommissioning processes are ...
Experimental investigations of thermodynamic properties of the LiF –CsF binary system and FliNaK
(2020-07-01)
Generation IV nuclear power technologies, including various molten salt reactor designs are considered to accommodate growing energy needs with minimal impact on the environment. The development of the molten salt reactor ...
Environmental impact of zebra mussel controls in nuclear power plants
(2020-04-01)
Industries that rely on the Great Lakes for cooling have battled the zebra mussel infestation for years. With increasing emphasis on environmental sustainability, decision-makers need to consider more than just monetary ...
Development and demonstration of a high-performance Gaussian puff model for nuclear emergency training scenarios in unity game engine
(2021-08-01)
Prompt decision making and implementation of protective actions in the event of a nuclear or radiological emergency require detailed preparations and training. Computer models provide an avenue to simulate the presence of ...
