The dynamics of a fully nonlinear, tree-structured resonator and its response to a broadband forcing of the branches is examined. It is shown that the broadband forcing yields a transfer of energy between the parts of the spectrum so that the spectrum becomes progressively more narrow-band for...

Effect of Ligation Method on Maxillary Arch Force / Moment Systems for a Simulated Lingual Incisor Malalignment
Download2014
Romanyk, Dan L., Major, Paul W., Seru, Surbhi, Toogood, Roger W., Carey, Jason P.
Introduction: The objectives of this study were to determine whether there is a difference in the magnitude of forces and moments produced by elastic ligation when compared to passive ligation, and whether these forces and moments propagate differently along the arch for the two ligation types. A...

Ben-Zvi, Micha, Packota, Garnet V., Major, Paul W., Lagravère, Manuel O., Carey, Jason
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of an object's location in a cone beam CT imaging chamber (CBCT-NewTom 3G) on its apparent density and to develop a linear conversion coefficient for Hounsfield units (HU) to material density (g cm−3) for the NewTom 3G Scanner....

We examine the transient evolution of a negatively buoyant, laminar plume in an emptying filling box containing a uniform porous medium. In the long time limit, the box is partitioned into two uniform layers of different densities. However, the approach towards steady state is characterized by a...

Energy balance and greenhouse gas emissions of production and sequestration of charcoal from agricultural residues
Download2016-01-01
Thakkar, Jignesh, Kumar, Amit, Ghatora, Sonia, Canter, Christina E.
Agricultural residues (wheat/barley/oat straw) can be used to produce charcoal, which can then be either landfilled off-site or spread on the agricultural field as a means for sequestering carbon. One centralized and five portable charcoal production technologies were explored in this paper. The...

Nimana, Balwinder S., Canter, Christina E., Kumar, Amit
A model- FUNNEL-GHG-OS (FUNdamental ENgineering PrinciplEs- based ModeL for Estimation of GreenHouse Gases in the Oil Sands) was developed to estimate project-specific energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) in major recovery and extraction processes in the oil sands, namely...

Energy efficiency improvement opportunities and associated greenhouse gas abatement costs for the residential sector
Download2017-01-01
Subramanyam, Veena, Kumar, Amit, Talaei, Alireza, Mondal, Md. Alam Hossain
Despite improvements, the residential sector is one of most energy-intensive sectors in the world and is the third largest consumer of energy across Canada, and in Alberta in particular. This study investigates opportunities to improve energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG)...
