Assessing The Benefits Of Cost-Effective Monitoring Technology On Unstable Slopes Sensitive To Weather
DownloadFall 2021
Across Canada, the presence of ground hazards, such as rock falls, rock slides, or earth slides, next to transportation corridors, is a potential risk to transport system users, the infrastructure, and traffic operations. Monitoring instrumentation systems tracking unstable slopes are a key...

Investigating Relationships Between Artificial Sweeteners and Water Quality: Waste Impact Indicators and Disinfection Byproduct Precursors
DownloadFall 2020
Artificial sweeteners (ASs) are highly stable, man-made sugar alternatives used in many low and no-calorie foods and beverages. The massive consumption of ASs by the general population has resulted in their wide occurrence in waste and environmental waters. Wastewater treatment is not designed to...
