Fall 2009
The work presented in this dissertation provides a novel technique of manipulation of colloidal entities during membrane filtration based on an AC electrokinetic phenomenon called dielectrophoresis. First, the influence of dielectrophoretic (DEP) forces created on a membrane surface to levitate...

A major challenge to any “solvent-based” bitumen extraction technology is the removal of suspended fine solids from the hydrocarbon medium (i.e. diluted bitumen). To address this problem, we examined how colloidal solids could be made to aggregate in a hydrocarbon medium and thus be separated by...

Spring 2010
Poor settling of solids increases land requirement for tailings containment and imposes severe constraints on the water balance. Consequent to these considerations, the alternating current electrocoagulation (AC/EC) technique emerged as a candidate for enhancing the settling behaviour of...

As the size of the World Wide Web and the type of documents it holds grow, the need for tools helping users to find their required information becomes more increasingly important. There are several ways to summarize, navigate through or retrieve documents on the web, such as query-based search...

Dependence of the Interfacial Adhesion between Two Different Types of Material on their Electron Work Function and Electrical Conductivity
DownloadFall 2021
We observed and investigated a novel interfacial phenomenon related to the dependence of interfacial bonding or adhesive force (Fad) between two substances on the difference in their Electron Work Functions (EWF) or Δφ, and developed a model to quantify such a dependence. First, using...

Effect of Near-Wall Turbulence on Selective Removal of Particles from Sand Beds Deposited in Pipelines
DownloadFall 2012
A large-scale experimental facility was designed, constructed, and operated to study multiphase flow of solid-liquid mixtures (i.e., slurry flow) in horizontal pipelines. Trains of discrete lenticular deposits (LDs) and continuous beds were identified and studied in detail, representing two...

Functional surface nanodroplets for sensitive chemical analysis and nanomaterials synthesis
DownloadSpring 2022
Surface nanodroplets are nano-scale droplets immobilized on a solid surface with an immiscible liquid environment. These droplets possess a large surface area to volume ratio and some desirable properties such as a long lifetime and excellent stability, compared to the bulk droplets. Surface...

The digital age has led to the advent of electronic collections with millions or even billions of items. This paper examines the types of interfaces that are emerging for large-scale collections, specifically addressing what a large collection looks like online, and how it can be managed by...
