Recycling low grade waste heat to electricity
(
Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
Most mining and metallurgical industries produce relatively large quantities of low grade waste heat which they vent, for the most part, to the environment. To date, little is being done to recover some of this heat and ...
Geothermal energy extraction from decommissioned petroleum wells
(
International Society for Rock Mechanics
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Abandoned wells impose enduring liabilities to petroleum companies and/or governments. However, the depth and abundance of abandoned petroleum wells make them an economically attractive source of geothermal energy. Geothermal ...
A novel technique for extraction of geothermal energy from abandoned oil wells
(2012 , Conference Paper)
This paper investigates the possibility of design and construction of a geothermal heat exchanger suitable for installation in abandoned oil wells. Based on the in-situ data collected, an amenable heat transfer numerical ...
Engaging Engineering Students in Active Learning and Critical Thinking through Class Debates
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Within the program of engineering, typically there are courses that are heavily dependent on mathematics and derivations of fundamental concepts. A lot of active learning can be done in these classes by using the engineering ...
Color-based Fuzzy Classifier for automated detection of cancerous cells in histopathological analysis
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
In usual clinical practice, grading of cancer tissues is often done by an expert histopathologist based on their analysis of micro-level architectural features of the cancerous tissue specimen as well as level of presence ...
Time-frequency based signal restoration for laser-ultrasound signals with applications in nondestructive testing
(
IEEE
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, an inspection system has been presented that uses Laser-Ultrasound (LU) technique for Nondestructive testing (NDT) of metallic structures with specific interest in Oil & Gas sector. While the developed ...
Fuzzy prediction of complications in craniopathy
(
IEEE
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
Decompressive craniectomy is a neurosurgical procedure in which part of the skull is removed to allow a swelling brain room to expand. It is a life-saving procedure used in the treatment of medically refractory intracranial ...
Parametric modeling of EEG signals with real patient data for simulating seizures and pre-seizures
(
IEEE
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
Numerous theories and models have been developed to associate various findings or in relating EEG patterns to develop a software simulators. In this paper, a Dynamic model for simulating the EEG signal has been developed ...
On critical point avoidance among mobile terminals in healthcare monitoring applications: Saving lives through reliable communication software
(
IEEE
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
The advances in Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), battery life, low powered communication standards, more capable processing units, and hybrid communication have cemented the use of mobile Wireless Body Area Networks ...
Robotic toys for autistic children: Innovative tools for teaching and treatment
(
IEEE
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents an initial study related to the use of robotic toys as teaching and therapeutic aid tools for teachers and care-givers as well as parents of children with various levels of autism spectrum disorder ...
