Methane efflux form boreal wetlands: theory and testing of the ecosystem model ecosys with chamber and tower flux measurements
Download2002
A robust model of CH4 emission from terrestrial ecosystems should be capable of simulating the temporal and spatial variability that characterizes field measurements. Such a model should couple a biologically based treatment of microbial CH4 transformations with a physically based treatment of...

Metrics for Assessing Fisheries Productivity and Offsetting Strategies under Canada’s New Fisheries Act
Download2014-12-23
Poesch, M., Christensen-Dalsgaard, K.K., Sinnatamby, R.N.
The Alberta oil sands region contains one of the world’s largest oil deposits, estimated at 1.7 trillion barrels. Development in this region can have negative effects for aquatic species, governed under Canada’s Fisheries Act. The Fisheries Act allows the possibility for offsetting losses in...

Fault detection methods have become an important tool in the prevention of safety and reliability issues for industrial rotating machines. Faults in these machines often develop progressively and are not easily observed under operating conditions until severe damage has occurred and further...

In this thesis, methods for improving needle steering during prostate brachytherapy are studied. Brachytherapy is a minimally-invasive, out-patient therapy for prostate cancer treatment with a fast recovery time. Success of brachytherapy depends on precise placement of needle tips in pre-planned...

Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) is a promising method for combustion engines to provide a substantial reduction in fuel consumption and formation of both nitrogen oxides and soot pollutants in automotive and stationary engines. Control of HCCI combustion timing is essential for the...

Modeling and Optimization of CO2 Fixation using Microalgae Cultivated in Oil Sands Process Water
DownloadSpring 2015
Biological fixation of CO2 using microalgae is a potential CO2 reduction strategy which can be applied to the oil sands operations in Alberta. These operations also produce large amounts of oil sands process water (OSPW), which can act as a growth medium for the microalgae. In this thesis, three...

Caverhill-Godkewitsch, Saul A.
The infrastructure necessary to support diagnostic and pathogen-detection processes does not exist in some regions of the world that need it most. Access to fast, inexpensive and portable diagnostic infrastructure could be a solution to this problem. Next generation lab-on-chip (LOC) systems that...

Modeling of the Effect of Run-out Table Cooling on the Microstructure of a Thick Walled X70 Skelp
DownloadSpring 2018
This thesis presents work performed to model and measure the effect of run-out table cooling on a thick walled X70 steel. During run-out table cooling, the steel undergoes several phase transformations that will affect its microstructure, and thus, its mechanical properties. To predict the steel...
