Social Contexts of Environmental Practices: How Sustainable Development Discourses and Trust Mediate the Use of Genomics in the Alberta Beef Industry
DownloadFall 2014
In the face of environmental degradation resulting from beef production, genomics may add to the options available to producers seeking to reduce their environmental impacts. This research seeks to understand cow/calf producer experiences with the environment, the environmental impacts of their...

Study of Enhanced Deposition due to Magnetic Field Alignment of Ellipsoid Particles Using Direct Numerical Simulations
DownloadFall 2012
A recent in vitro study demonstrated a non invasive method to enhance local deposition in a small airway by controlling the angular position of magnetic high aspect ratio particles. This technique could mitigate the challenge of providing sufficient therapeutic effects when using aerosolized...

The application of simulation methodologies on estimating gas emissions from construction equipment
DownloadSpring 2011
Construction contributes significantly to gas emissions. Diverse efforts have been undertaken to mitigate the effects of these emissions; however, there currently is no effective tool to estimate small-scale (e.g., project-based) emissions in construction. Discrete-event simulation (DES), a new...

The Development of a Technology-Explicit Bottom-Up Integrated Multi-Regional Energy Model of Canada
DownloadFall 2017
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are currently at the crux of political, environmental, technological, and cultural discussions due to climate change. A drastic reduction of GHG emissions is needed in order to mitigate potentially catastrophic climate change impacts. This thesis presents the...

Fall 2014
Although pens and paper are pervasive in the analog world, their digital counterparts, styli and tablets, have yet to achieve the same adoption or frequency of use. Digital styli should provide a natural, intuitive method to take notes, annotate, and sketch, but have yet to reach their full...

Thermophysical Properties Measurement of Liquid Al and Al-Cu by the Discharge Crucible Method
DownloadFall 2020
The demand to develop Materials Genomics and Integrated Materials Computation requires the availability of high temperature property data of liquid metals. High temperature metallurgical processes, such as refining, casting, welding and additive manufacturing, can be optimized and operate more...

Tooth length measurement accuracy and reliability with cone-beam CT and panoramic radiography
DownloadSpring 2010
This study assessed the accuracy and reliability of tooth length measurements through axial, coronal and sagittal serial slices of CBCT volumes; conventional panoramic radiographs; and CBCT panoramic reconstructions to that of a digital caliper gold standard. Samples consisted of maxillary...

Most current models for the deposition of aerosol particles in the human lung are based on a Lagrangian reference frame, which is ill-suited for modeling transient eects. Deposition models based on an Eulerian reference frame are much better at capturing instantaneous time-dependent eects, though...
