Functionalization and Characterization of Metal Oxide Coatings of Stainless Steel and Silica Nanoparticles
DownloadSpring 2013
The development of tolerogens, fabricated devices eliciting tolerance toward incompatible donor ABO antigens in implant patients, is the ultimate goal of this project. This would permit ABO incompatible organ transplants, increase the donor pool for patients, increase efficiency in the use of...

Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) and Ultrasonic Leakage Detection (ULD) as a maintenance and condition monitoring technique for freight rail airbrakes in cold weather conditions
DownloadSpring 2015
Freight rail airbrakes need improvement in reliability to reduce failures, which can lead to harm to the environment, loss of human life, and a negative impact on the economy. This research focuses on identifying the failures of airbrakes using a Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) framework,...

The effects of soil and plant nutrients on the oviposition preference, larval performance and spatial dynamics of Ceutorhynchus obstrictus and its parasitoids
DownloadFall 2010
The effects of nitrogen and sulfur fertilization on the oviposition, feeding preferences, and larval performance of Ceutorhynchus obstrictus (Marsham) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) on Brassica napus L. were examined in a series of laboratory experiments. The associations between C. obstrictus...

The Role of Sulfur Species in Establishing the Corrosion Reactions in Refinery Metallurgies
DownloadSpring 2016
This thesis is focused on the studying the role that model sulfur-containing molecules have in corrosion reactions on relevant metallurgies. This was done by using a design of experiments where a number of sulfur-based compounds were reacted with various metallurgies. The 8 model sulfur compounds...

Ultrasonic Characterization of Bitumen with Pressure and Temperature: Implications for seismic monitoring of the Grosmont Formation
DownloadFall 2018
The vastly untapped carbonate Grosmont Formation in north-eastern Alberta may hold in excess of a couple of hundred billion barrels initial volume of bitumen in place. Bitumen, an ultra-heavy hydrocarbon oil, possesses a density comparable to water, but a dynamic shear viscosity million times...

Spring 2020
ML80 and Grade 483 are heat treatable steels, produced by a quench and temper process, that are used in the oil and gas industry. The development of the microstructure during heat treatment is important to ensure that the correct properties are achieved for these steels. However, a real-time...
