Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurodegenerative disease which is mainly characterized by inflammation, demyelination, and axonal loss. Conventional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has become the most established imaging tool in the diagnosis and follow-up of MS in clinical practice....

Current bitumen extraction technologies used in surface mined oil sands in Alberta, Canada require large volumes of fresh water, which in turn generate large volumes of fluid fine tailings (FFT). Managing these tailings is a major challenge for oil sands operators. Non-aqueous extraction (NAE) is...

In view of the increasing environmental concerns about the current water-based bitumen extraction process, there have been numerous efforts to develop a non-aqueous extraction (NAE) method for the recovery of bitumen from oil sands. The research reported in this thesis was carried out to study...

Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) is a non-invasive MRI technique that is sensitive to the diffusion of water molecules within the body. Its ability to encode water displacements enables it to detect changes in neural microstructure, such as those due to normal healthy aging or...

The extraction of bitumen from oil sands using non-aqueous extraction (NAE) techniques has the potential to replace currently used water-based extraction techniques. High bitumen recovery rates, lower freshwater requirements, and elimination of afterward tailing ponds are all advantages of...

Solidification during continuous casting of X70 microalloyed steel results in two types of elemental segregation; microsegregation (interdendritic) and macrosegregation (at the centerline). Both micro and macrosegregation lead to deterioration of steel properties and, hence, a lower degree of...
