TMSim_Consol
2021-06-04
Implemented in GoldSim, TMSim_Consol uses an explicit finite difference method to calculate the void ratio at each time step. Excess pore pressure and effective stress in each layer are then derived from void ratio. In addition to the specific gravity (Gs) and geometric properties of the deposit,...

Tolerance and cytotoxicity of naphthenic acids on microorganisms isolated from oil sands process-affected water
Tolerance and cytotoxicity of naphthenic acids on microorganisms isolated from oil sands process-affected water
Download2019-01-01
The expansion of oil sands has made remediation of oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) critical. As naphthenic acids (NAs) are the primary contributors to toxicity, remediation is required. Bioremediation by native microorganisms is potentially effective, however, toxicity of NAs towards...

Transportation Infrastructure Decision Flexibility in Response to Climate Change and Demand Uncertainties: The Mackenzie Valley Highway in Canada’s Northwest Territories.
Download2022-03-01
Li, Huanan, Kim, Amy M., Jin, Jianjing
Barge transport operations on the Mackenzie River, a major transportation corridor in the Northwest Territories, are impacted by multiple sources of uncertainties. In particular, the impacts of climate change on this important corridor have led to summer shipping seasons that are growing more...

Unsaturated Flow Model
2019-06-06
Xiaochuan Tony Zheng, Tony Zheng
The un-saturated flow sub-model is based on a previously developed infiltration-drainage model. This research improves the original model by adding capabilities of handling dynamic boundary conditions and inter-layer overflow mechanisms. Additional validation cases are conducted to build...

Using GIS to interpret automated speed enforcement guidelines and guide deployment decisions in mobile photo enforcement programs
Download2019-11-07
Li, Y., Kim, A. M., El-Basyouny, K., Li, R.
Automated speed enforcement (ASE) guidelines are designed to guide enforcement agencies in operating ASE programs that are effective in improving traffic safety. Given that appropriate deployment decisions are essential to a program’s effectiveness, a number of deployment priorities are generally...

Phosphorus availability and cycling in microbial communities is a key determinant of bacterial activity. However, identifying organisms critical to P cycling in complex biodegrading consortia has proven elusive. Here we assess a new DNA stable isotope probing (SIP) technique using heavy...
