Employee Attitudes on Corporate Social Responsibility at the Frontline Level of an Energy Transportation Company
DownloadSpring 2014
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) reflects the commitment businesses voluntarily undertake to integrate ethical behaviors and societal matters within their operating contexts, decision-making processes, strategies and corporate values while simultaneously maximizing economic objectives. As...

Development of an Experimental Apparatus for Studying the Effects of Acoustic Excitation on Viscosity
DownloadFall 2012
An experimental apparatus was developed capable of measuring changes in fluid viscosity occurring due to acoustic stimulation. Controls allowed measurements at simulated oil sand reservoir pressures and temperatures with near real-time data visualization. Calibration was performed...

Synthesis, kinematic modeling, parameter identification and control of a rehabilitation cable-driven robot
DownloadFall 2011
The proposed mechanism in this study is a multi-body cable driven robot. The robot has 6 DOF. The thesis first presents the required concepts and definitions. Then a solution to the kinematic synthesis problem is reviewed. This solution includes an algorithm that finds all the sets of design...

Theoretical and Experimental Investigation of Hydrocyclone Performance and the Influence of Underflow Pumping Effect
DownloadFall 2015
Centrifugal separators have many applications in industry. Comprehensive information based on performance and energy consumption for a detailed comparison between different types of centrifugal separators is essential to allow design optimization and is the focus of this work. Equivalent...

Fall 2011
The atmospheric capture of CO2 was proposed to offset past and future emissions from small distributed sources or past emissions from all sources. The objective of this study is to develop a feasible process to capture 300 Mton of CO2 from the atmosphere, annually, and to integrate the proposed...

Fault Detection and Diagnosis in Nonlinear Systems, with a Focus on Mining Truck Suspension Strut
DownloadSpring 2014
Classical fault detection methods do not completely satisfy the reliability requirement for complex and highly nonlinear stochastic systems. One solution to this problem is to use more advances fault detection methods such as multiple models to simulate system in different operating...
