Based on the underlying structure of fabric materials, a three-scale model is constructed to describe the mechanical behavior of fabric materials. The current model assumes that fabric materials take on an overall behavior of anisotropic membranes, so membrane scale is taken as the macroscopic or...

Sodium proton exchangers (NHEs) are polytopic membrane proteins that, in archaea, bacteria, yeast and plants, provide increased salt tolerance by removing excess toxic sodium, and in mammals regulate cell volume, growth, differentiation, proliferation, migration and apoptosis in relation to...

Nigeria has a huge natural gas reserve, but to date this resource has been largely under-developed. This state of affair has impacted negatively on Nigeria’s economic potential. In contrast, Alberta has benefitted immensely from its natural gas resource because it has effectively developed same....

Two-Dimensional Modeling of the Effect of Relative Humidity on Volatile Organic Compounds Adsorption in a Fixed Bed Adsorber
DownloadFall 2017
Water vapor can affect adsorption of volatile organic compound (VOC) onto activated carbon. In this research, a two-dimensional heterogenous computational fluid dynamics model was developed and validated to understand the mechanism and kinetics during competitive adsorption between VOC and water...

Understanding the Changes in Positive and Negative Sentiments in the Discourse of the COVID-19 Pandemic in Alberta
DownloadSpring 2024
The severe acute respiratory syndrome caused by the SARS coronavirus was declared a pandemic in March 2020 by the World Health Organisation. Alberta as other provinces and countries had to face the challenge of fighting this syndrome that caused what is commonly known as the COVID-19 pandemic....

Using drilled-undrilled shell damage analysis to estimate crushing predation frequencies in modern marine gastropod assemblages
DownloadSpring 2010
Predation is a frequently studied subject, but estimating crushing predation in mollusk communities is challenging. Shells record successful attacks, but it is not always possible to identify attacks on an individual basis. Repair scar frequency is a common proxy for crushing mortality, but shell...
