Fall 2018
Dual-fuel Reactivity Controlled Compression Ignition (RCCI) combustion is investigated as an efficient combustion mode on a modified 4-cylinder production Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) engine. RCCI uses Low-Temperature Combustion (LTC) to provide high efficiency combustion while avoiding NOx...

Isotope Geochemistry of Natural Gas from the Horn River Basin: Understanding Gas Origin, Storage and Transport in an Unconventional Shale Play
DownloadFall 2014
Devonian shales of the Horn River Basin, northeast British Columbia are recognized key targets for unconventional shale gas production in Canada. Recent studies show gas isotope geochemistry in several unconventional shale plays worldwide differ from conventional hydrocarbon reservoirs and carbon...

Spring 2016
A dual-fuel system is used to control HCCI combustion timing and load in a CFR engine. The systems steady-state response to iso-octane and n-heptane injected energy is investigated then a dynamic ARMAX model is found using system identification. This model is used to design a norm-optimal...

Lab to Field Scale Modeling of Low Temperature Air Injection with Hydrocarbon Solvents for Heavy-Oil Recovery in Naturally Fractured Reservoirs
DownloadFall 2015
Alternatives for enhanced oil recovery processes in heavy oil containing deep naturally fractured reservoirs (NFR) are limited due to excessive heat losses when steam is injected. Air injection at high temperature oxidation conditions (in-situ combustion) has been considered as an alternative to...

Lithium Recovery from Hydraulic Fracturing Flowback and Produced Water using a Manganese-Based Sorbent
DownloadFall 2020
Increased demand for lithium products for use in lithium ion batteries has led to a search for new lithium resources in recent years in order to meet projected future consumption. One such potential lithium resource is low lithium bearing brines that are discharged from hydraulically fractured...

Localization of Global Discourse and the Breakdown of the Washington Consensus (WC): A Case Study of Korean Higher Education Reform (1993-2012)
DownloadFall 2015
In my dissertation paper, I sought the political implications of neo-liberal education reform with the case of recent Korean higher education reforms. I first explored the macro-causal relationship of neo-liberal higher education reform in transnational social relations, and then the political...

The demand for accurate bitumen-pentane mass transfer data was the main motivation behind this research. Difficulties such as complex phase behavior, high viscosity and opacity of the hydrocarbon invariably lead to failure of conventional techniques to measure mass transfer coefficients...

Metamorphic devolatilization, mineral reaction, and fluid alteration in the Mica Creek area (British Columbia, Canada) inferred from whole-rock and mineral nitrogen isotope signatures
DownloadSpring 2019
The Neoproterozoic Horsethief Creek Group metasedimentary rocks in the Mica Creek area (British Columbia, Canada) are an important supracrustal sequence in the Canadian Cordillera. They contain a continuous range of metamorphic grades from slate, progressively to schists in the biotite, garnet,...

Spring 2013
In this thesis, methods for improving needle steering during prostate brachytherapy are studied. Brachytherapy is a minimally-invasive, out-patient therapy for prostate cancer treatment with a fast recovery time. Success of brachytherapy depends on precise placement of needle tips in pre-planned...

Spring 2010
Carbon isotope analyses of gases extracted from drilling muds while drilling in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin (WCSB) can be used to create carbon isotopic depth profiles. These profiles provide essentially continuous data through the stratigraphic section, offering a unique opportunity to...
