Fall 2017
As a follow-up method after CHOPS (Cold Heavy Oil Production with Sands), CSI (Cyclic Solvent Injection) was widely accepted in the oil industry. After injected gas solvents with high pressure are dissolved in a heavy-oil reservoir, produced oil shows dispersed gas-phase in the oil, which is...

Fall 2016
Methane (CH4) is a greenhouse gas with an elevated global warming potential (GWP) equivalent to 28 times that of CO2. Also, production of enteric CH4 results in a 2 to 12% loss of the gross energy intake of cattle thus knowing the amount of CH4 released to the environment is important. The...

Recovery of Legumes in Northern Temperate Pastures Following the Application of Broadleaf Herbicides
DownloadFall 2013
Field and greenhouse trials were conducted to assess the breakdown of soil residues of two broadleaf herbicide bioactives, aminopyralid and aminocyclopyrachlor, as well as associated legume reestablishment/recovery and pasture sward production dynamics. Greenhouse trials indicated legume seedling...

Relationship of Radiated Heat Loss Measured by Infrared Thermography to Residual Feed Intake in Beef Heifers
DownloadFall 2013
Infrared thermography (IRT) has shown utility in predicting residual feed intake (RFI) differences in mature cows, growing bulls and finishing steers. It was hypothesized that efficient heifers would exhibit decreased radiated heat loss. RFIfat determined on sixty-one crossbred beef heifers over...

Reservoir and geomechanical coupled simulation of CO2 sequestration and enhanced coalbed methane recovery
DownloadFall 2009
Coalbeds are an extremely complicated porous medium with characteristics of heterogeneity, dual porosity and stress sensitivity. In the past decades great achievements have been made to the simulation models of pressure depletion coalbed methane (CBM) recovery process and CO2 sequestration and...

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...

Stream Carbon Flux in the Northern Pacific Coastal Temperate Rainforest: Seasonal DOC Transport and CO₂ and CH₄ Emissions
DownloadSpring 2020
Streams in British Columbia's humid, organic-rich Pacific Coastal Temperate Rainforest (PCTR) deliver globally significant yields of soil-derived dissolved organic carbon (DOC) to the ocean, which can affect ocean acidification, provide energy to coastal food webs, and off-gas to the atmosphere...

Fall 2010
High-resolution regional climate simulations of the Karakoram, Himalaya have been performed for investigation into the atmospheric dynamics in this region, and their role in the Karakoram’s snowfall accumulation and glacial evolution. It has been seen through a combination of field measurements...

The Effects of a Quality Grading System on the Development of Consumer Driven Best Practice Value Chains: The Example of Meat Standards Australia
DownloadFall 2010
This research project analyzes the beef grading system in Australia. Firstly, the Meat Standards Australia (MSA) grading system as a potential value-creating and value chain-coordinating mechanism is investigated. In-depth interviews with value chain stakeholders and industry experts suggest...
