The Technical Efficiency of Wildfire Suppression in Alberta, Canada: A Stochastic Frontier Analysis
DownloadFall 2021
Wildfire management agencies are increasingly interested in the efficiency of wildfire suppression as they work to protect human lives and communities from wildfire damages under constrained management budgets. In Alberta, climate change is expected to increase the length of the wildfire season...

A New Class of Resonant Metasurfaces Based on Highly Subwavelength Metamaterial-Lined Apertures and Metamaterial-Coated Discs
DownloadSpring 2019
This work presents analytical, numerical and experimental studies of a new class of resonant metasurfaces (MTSs), which may also be classified as miniaturized-element frequency selective surfaces (FSSs). The proposed MTS unit cells consist of circular aperture or disc resonators that are made...

Blasting is widely used in mining operations as the primary comminution process to reduce the in-situ rock into fragmented material suitable for the subsequent transport and processing. The energy used is released from an explosive by detonation and transferred to the rock mass via a shock front...

Analysis and Design of A New Class of Miniaturized Circular Waveguides Containing Anisotropic Metamaterial Liners
DownloadFall 2016
This work presents the analysis and design of a new class of miniaturized circular waveguides containing anisotropic metamaterial liners, and reveals in detail intriguing and potentially useful propagation and radiation phenomena. An analytical construction of the liner as a homogeneous,...

Analytical considerations and biology of milk conjugated linoleic acid synthesis in the bovine
DownloadSpring 2010
Biosynthesis of milk conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a component of milk fat with demonstrated health benefits, requires a dietary source of PUFA. Even with PUFA supplementation, milk CLA is highly variable. Therefore, this study was aimed at identifying factors responsible for the variations in...

Dyeing cotton with fiber reactive dyes provides textiles with outstanding colorfastness properties at the expense of environmental concerns from unfixed dye and high salt content in dye house effluent. One approach to this problem is to incorporate cationic dye sites into the cotton fiber to...

Continuum Modelling and Analysis of a Class of One and Two Dimensional Elastic Metamaterials with Local Rotation
DownloadFall 2022
The group of materials classified as "metamaterials" have accrued great interest in the scientific community as of late for their potential to revolutionize several multidisciplinary applications. Metamaterials are defined as synthetic/man-made materials which have been engineered to possess a...

Since the development of the fluctuation dissipation theorem for electromagnetics in 1956 by Landau, Lipschitz and Rytov, field correlations have gradually come to be understood as a consistent framework for treating all optical aspects of linear response. In turn, the theory of electromagnetic...

Broiler breeders are feed restricted to control growth and increase the production of settable eggs. However, the consecutive need for the deposition and mobilization of nutrients, due the feeding and fasting cycles those birds are submitted to, is not a efficient process. Additionally, the less...
