Modelling long- term impacts of mountain pine beetle outbreaks on merchantable biomass, ecosystem carbon, albedo, and radiative forcing
Download2016-01-01
Price, David T., Matthews, H. Damon, Parrott, Lael, Ramankutty, Navin, Landry, Jean-Sébastien
The ongoing major outbreak of mountain pine beetle (MPB) in forests of western North America has led to considerable research efforts. However, many questions remain unaddressed regarding its long-term impacts, especially when accounting for the range of possible responses from the non-target...

Experimentally-validated nonlinear flight control of a helicopter UAV has two necessary conditions: an estimate of the vehicle’s states from noisy multirate output measurements, and a nonlinear dynamics model with minimum complexity, physically controllable inputs and experimentally identified...

Numerical modelling of the Arctic and North Atlantic exchanges with NEMO: Focus on freshwater and dynamics
DownloadFall 2018
The Arctic is currently undergoing significant changes due to increasing anthropogenic greenhouse gases causing atmospheric warming. The impact of this warming is clearly visible in the Arctic: reduced sea-ice cover, enhanced land-ice melting, increased frequency of extreme weather, etc....

Phoretic mite associates of mountain pine beetle at the leading edge of an infestation in northwestern Alberta, Canada
Download2011
Proctor, H. C., Evenden, M. L., Mori, B. A., Walter, D. E.
Abstract: We identified species of mites phoretically associated with mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae), collected from bolts of lodgepole pine, Pinus contorta Douglas ex Louden (Pinaceae), and pheromone-baited traps in northwestern...

Photocycle-Dependent Emergence by Cercariae of Halipegus occidualis from Helisoma anceps, with Special Reference to Cercarial Emergence Patterns as Adaptations for Transmission.
Download1990
Emergence by cercariae of Halipegus occidualis (Hemiuridae) from naturally infected Helisoma anceps (Pulmonata) was evaluated with respect to change in temperature and light. Total cercarial emergence per snail per day increased with temperature in 2 experiments: at constant temperatures of 16,...

Phytochemicals as mediators for host range expansion of a native invasive forest insect herbivore.
Download2019-01-01
Mountain pine beetle (MPB, Dendroctonus ponderosae) has recently breached the geo-climatic barrier of the northern Rocky Mountains and invaded novel jack pine (Pinus banksiana) forests in western Canada. This breach signifies an unprecedented climate change-induced invasion of a new plant biome...

Route Level Dynamic Travel Time Estimation on Freeway: A Case Study in Edmonton on Whitemud Drive
DownloadSpring 2016
Travel time is increasing critical in Advanced Traveler Information System (ATIS) for traffic management. Several years ago, traditional methods for e.g. travel time measurement and average historical methods were often used. However, they are expensive and inflexible. Besides, lots of...

Tikhonchuk, V. T., Voronkov, I., Samson, J. C., Rankin, Robert
The three-dimensional, nonlinear evolution of a shear how (or Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH)) instability driven by a large-amplitude shear Alfven wave (SAW) in the Earth's magnetosphere is studied by using numerical solutions to the complete set of ideal magnetohydrodynamic equations. An initial setup is...

Sydorenko, Dmytro, Rankin, Robert
A two-dimensional numerical model of low-altitude auroral flux tubes has been developed for simulation of coupling between the magnetosphere and the ionosphere. The model considers a realistic ionosphere with multiple ion and neutral species, collisions, cooling and heating processes, as well as...

Structure and dynamics of biomolecules: probing muscle regulation, prion protein unfolding, and drug insertion into DNA by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy
DownloadSpring 2011
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a powerful approach to study the structure and dynamics of macromolecules in a close-to-native solution environment. In the present thesis I present my investigation of protein and nucleic acid structure and dynamics in a wide variety of biological...
