Quantifying Matrix and Fracturing Water Contributions to the Total Produced Water Based on the Water-flowback Responses
DownloadFall 2023
The main goal of this thesis is to evaluate the possibility of quantifying matrix and fracturing water contributions to the total produced water based on the water-flowback responses without analyzing water chemical data. We analyze flowback production data of 380 multi-fractured horizontal oil...

Searching for Non-Standard Model Highly Ionizing Processes and Long-Lived Neutral Particles With the MoEDAL-MAPP Detector
DownloadFall 2023
The Monopole & Exotics Detector at the Large Hadron Collider (MoEDAL) is designed to search for highly ionizing particle avatars of physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. Phase 1 of the MoEDAL Apparatus for Penetrating Particles (MAPP-1) upgrade is currently being installed to...

The lingering impact of sport-related knee injuries on health-related quality of life in active youth
DownloadSpring 2023
Background: It is assumed that youth who experience a knee injury while playing sports have an initial decline in health that resolves with time, leaving no lasting impact. Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) encompasses the physical, psychological, and social domains of health. It can...

Spring 2023
The electrochromic (EC) effect has attracted constant research efforts since it was first described in the early 19th century. Conventionally, EC oxides (e.g., WO3, MoO3, V2O5, and NiO) are employed to modulate light transmittance in smart windows, which allow for up to 80% optical transmission...

Fall 2023
Federated learning is in widespread use for learning a global model when data is distributed across various distributed clients. In much of the prior work, the data is assumed to consist of independent data points. However, there is often an underlying graph that structures the data points. Such...

Forest Resilience to Wildfire and Harvesting: A Comparison of Microclimate & Understory Plant Diversity in Island Remnants a Decade After Disturbance
DownloadFall 2023
An important feature of ecosystem-based forest management in the boreal mixedwood of northern Alberta, Canada – and in other forests around the world - is the emulation of natural disturbances such as wildfire. Post-fire landscapes typically include unburned or partially burned patches of forest...

Repositioning study of flubendazole for treating lung cancer and meningoencephalitis using an oral lipid nanosystem
DownloadFall 2023
Nanoemulsions have wide application, presenting several properties such as the solubilization of poorly soluble drugs in water, promoting the increase of their bioavailability, allowing greater stability of the formulation and, due to its property as a carrier, promoting their modified release....
