In Situ Synchrotron X-Ray Diffraction Analysis of Phase Transformation in Epitaxial Metastable hcp Nickel Thin Films, Prepared via Plasma-Enhanced Atomic Layer Deposition
Download2018-01-01
Motamedi, Pouyan, Bosnick, Ken, Cadien, Ken, Hogan, James D.
Ultrathin metal films have a wide variety of applications, especially in microelectronics. A key method to deposit these films is plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD), which is known for its ability to deposit thin films conformally and at relatively low temperatures. Building on the...

In-situ visualisation of dynamic fracture and fragmentation of an L-type ordinary chondrite by combined synchrotron X-ray radiography and microtomography
Download2021-05-01
Farbaniec, Lukasz, Chapman, David J., Patten, Jack R.W., Smith, Liam C., Hogan, James D., Rack, Alexander, Eakins, Daniel
The relationship between the dynamic mechanical properties of stony meteorites and their microstructures was investigated in-situ for an L-type ordinary chondrite using a split-Hopkinson pressure bar apparatus and ultra-high speed phase-contrast X-ray radiography at the European Synchrotron...

Initial experimental and theoretical investigation of solar molten media methane cracking for hydrogen production
Download2014-01-01
Paxman, D., Trottier, S., Nikoo, M., Secanell, Marc, Ordorica-Garcia, G.
Previous work assessed the fundamental technical and market risks associated with the development and deployment of solar fuels technology in Alberta. It identified methane cracking in solar-molten media as the hydrogen production technology featuring the best combination of technical risk,...

Integrated techno-economic and environmental assessments of sixty scenarios for co-firing biomass with coal and natural gas
Download2016-01-01
Agbor, Ezinwa, Oyedun, Adetoyese Olajire, Zhang, Xiaolei, Kumar, Amit
Displacement of fossil fuel-based power through biomass co-firing could reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from fossil fuels. In this study, data-intensive techno-economic models were developed to evaluate different co-firing technologies as well as the configurations of these...

Investigating mechanisms of laser pulse-induced reflectivity modulations in photoacoustic remote sensing with a 10 million frames-per-second camera
Download2023-03-07
Haven, Nathaniel J. M., Martell, Matthew T., Li, Haoyang, Hogan, James D., Zemp, Roger J.
Photoacoustic remote sensing has been recently developed as an all-optical imaging modality capable of imaging a variety of endogenous contrast agents label-free. Initially predicted laser pulse-induced refractive index perturbation-based interrogation beam reflectivity modulations have been...

Investigation into the effects of stainless steel ligature ties on the mechanical characteristics of conventional and self-ligated brackets subjected to torque
Download2014
Heo, Giseon, Nobes, David S., Al Fakir, Hussam, Major, Paul W., Melenka, Garrett W., Carey, Jason P.
Objective: Torque is applied to orthodontic brackets in order to alter the buccal-lingual angulation of a tooth. One factor that can affect torque is the ligation mode used to retain the archwire in the bracket slot. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of stainless steel...

Investigation of in vivo 3D Cone-Beam Computed Tomography Tooth Volume Measurement Protocols
Download2014
Secanell, Marc, Lagravère, Manuel O., Nijjar, Simrit, Carey, Jason P., Forst, Darren, Flores-Mir, Carlos
Background The objective of this study is to analyze a set of previously developed and proposed image segmentation protocols for precision in both intra- and inter-rater reliability for in vivo tooth volume measurements using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. Methods Six 3D volume...

Vaezi, Mahdi, Nimana, Balwinder S., Kumar, Amit
Pipeline hydro-transport is an alternative to truck delivery of agricultural residue (lignocellulosic) biomass. Pipeline hydro-transport benefits from the economies of scale, reduces total delivery costs, and enables bio-based energy facilities to achieve higher capacities. In this study, the...

Leg Dominance may not be a Predictor of Asymmetry in Peak Joint Moments and Ground Reaction Forces during Sit to Stand Movements
Download2014
Adeeb, Samer, El-Rich, Marwan, Lewicke, Justin, Carey, Jason P., Schofield, Jonathon, Parent, Eric
Sit-to-stand transfer is a common prerequisite for many daily tasks. Literature often assumes symmetric behavior across the left and right side. Although this assumption of bilateral symmetry is prominent, few studies have validated this supposition. This pilot study uniquely quantifies peak...

Life cycle assessment (LCA) of hydrogen production from underground coal gasification (UCG) with carbon capture and sequestration (CCSA)
Download2015-01-01
Western Canada is endowed with considerable reserves of deep un-mineable coal, which can be converted to syngas by means of a gasification process called underground coal gasification (UCG). The syngas can be transformed into hydrogen (H2) through commercially available technologies employed in...
