Beyond Viscosity—How Density, Vibration and Interfacial Tension Affect Solvent Aided Bitumen Production
DownloadFall 2016
Bitumen and heavy oil comprise a significant percentage of proven oil reserves globally. The environmental impacts of producing these resources with current technologies is a concern for environmentalists, oil producing companies, resource rich jurisdictions and society at large. Dilution of the...

Exploring Relationships Between Communication Features, Gender Attribution Ratings, and Quality of Life for Transgender and Cisgender Communicators
DownloadSpring 2019
Background: Voice and communication modification training is a critical aspect of the gender affirmation process for many transgender people. Incongruence between communication characteristics and gender positioning can be a cause of gender dysphoria and lead to misattribution or being outed as a...

Supersaturation of total dissolved gasses (TDG) downstream of hydropower dams and their consequences for fish have been identified as one of the key potential impacts of hydropower operations on fish biodiversity and fishery productivity. It has been recorded that fish exposed to high TDG levels...

Collisions of motorized transport with wildlife impact a wide range of species and can cause injuries and economic losses to people. On roads, vehicle collisions with animals have been studied extensively, resulting in mitigation measures that reduce collisions by segregating animals and...

Overly-stable froth in mineral flotation columns are sometimes a problem for separation operations. Greater quantities of fine particles in the input slurry can contribute to froth that is too stable and overruns the equipment capacity. Currently, the best ways to deal with this problem are to...

Canada has the largest known reserve of oil in the world in the form of oil sands: an estimated 1.7 to 2.5 trillion barrels of oil are deposited in combination of the sand, water and clay. The presented research is devoted to bubble-solid surface interaction, which is one of the critical areas...

Study of thin liquid film drainage in bubble-liquid-solid systems using integrated thin liquid film force apparatus (ITLFFA)
DownloadFall 2017
Interactions involving deformable surfaces reveal a number of distinct physicochemical characteristics that do not exist in interactions between rigid solid surfaces. The main focus of this thesis is to develop a unique fully custom-designed instrument, referred to as an integrated thin liquid...

Heterogeneity of surfaces is often included in mathematical treatments of colloid transport and deposition as an afterthought, if at all. Most previous models of colloid transport and deposition have employed idealizations and simplifications such as assuming smooth collector surfaces with...
