Optimization of Outflow Control Devices Design in Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage Models with Wellbore Trajectory Excursions
DownloadFall 2018
Canada has giant oil reserves which ranks third worldwide with proven oil reserves of 171 billion barrels. Alberta alone contributes with 165.4 billion barrels found in oil sands. However, those oil sands are extremely viscous and only 10% are recoverable by means of open-pit mining. In-situ...

Optimization of Temporary Haul Road Design and Earthmoving Job Planning based on Site Rough-grading Design
DownloadFall 2014
Site rough-grading operations are the preliminary work of the construction projects in remote areas especially in Northern Alberta. Haulage cost typically accounts for around 30% of the total cost of mass earthmoving projects. The temporary haul road network built in the earthmoving field is one...

Optimization of the reaction conditions of two enzymes for use in a carbon sequestration process, and investigation into immobilization via encapsulation within polymersomes
DownloadFall 2016
Carbon dioxide emissions from human activities contribute to an increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. In nature, this gas is sequestered through the use of enzymes found in the Calvin-Benson-Bassham cycle, with useful molecules such as sugars being synthesized as products. A biomimetic...

Optimization, adaptation and application of protein misfolding cyclic amplification to detection of prions in blood plasma
DownloadFall 2010
The PMCA assay was optimized for adaptation to low level detection of PrPSc in hamster plasma. Evaluation of numerous key variables of the PMCA assay led to an optimized protocol capable of ~3 log10 amplification after 32 cycles (two 16 hour rounds). When commercially purchased normal hamster...

Optimizing Electric Vehicle Charging Networks: Adaptive Placement and Energy Management in Uncertain Environments
DownloadSpring 2024
With the emerging proliferation of electric vehicles (EVs) in traffic, the optimal deployment of EV charging stations has become a critical issue due to the foreseeable significant impact on conventional power distribution systems and traffic networks. With the complex coupling between...
