Spring 2011
Steel plate shear walls have typically been analyzed using quasi static and monotonic pushover analysis; however, dynamic excitations during an earthquake elicit different behaviour from the structure due to the nature of the loading. This report outlines the design and analysis of a steel plate...

Spring 2017
Electrically induced instability of thin liquid films is a contactless pattern transfer method, often called electrohydrodynamic (EHD) lithography, which has gained extensive attention due to its ability in creation of novel micro- and nano-sized structures. The need for powerful microprocessors...

Incorporating the effects of complex dynamic interactions in the construction decision making process
DownloadFall 2011
Construction projects involve complex interactions among operational components such as labour, materials and equipment and context or organizational components such as worker morale and organizational policies. Interactions among different components of construction projects form byzantine...

Spring 2023
Switchable hydrophilicity solvents (SHSs) are solvents defined by their ability to switch from their hydrophobic form to a hydrophilic form when put in contact with an acidic trigger such as CO2. As a consequence, SHSs qualify as promising alternatives to volatile organic compounds during the...

Initial Excited-state Structural Dynamics of Deuterated and Methylated Uracil Derivatives by Resonance Raman Spectroscopy
DownloadSpring 2015
Nucleic acids are biological macromolecules constructed of purine (guanine and adenine) and pyrimidine (cytosine, thymine and uracil) nucleobases. The interaction of ultraviolet (UV) light with pyrimidine nucleobases leads to various photoproducts, such as cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs),...

Experimentally-validated nonlinear flight control of a helicopter UAV has two necessary conditions: an estimate of the vehicle’s states from noisy multirate output measurements, and a nonlinear dynamics model with minimum complexity, physically controllable inputs and experimentally identified...

Numerical modelling of the Arctic and North Atlantic exchanges with NEMO: Focus on freshwater and dynamics
DownloadFall 2018
The Arctic is currently undergoing significant changes due to increasing anthropogenic greenhouse gases causing atmospheric warming. The impact of this warming is clearly visible in the Arctic: reduced sea-ice cover, enhanced land-ice melting, increased frequency of extreme weather, etc....

Route Level Dynamic Travel Time Estimation on Freeway: A Case Study in Edmonton on Whitemud Drive
DownloadSpring 2016
Travel time is increasing critical in Advanced Traveler Information System (ATIS) for traffic management. Several years ago, traditional methods for e.g. travel time measurement and average historical methods were often used. However, they are expensive and inflexible. Besides, lots of...

Structure and dynamics of biomolecules: probing muscle regulation, prion protein unfolding, and drug insertion into DNA by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy
DownloadSpring 2011
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a powerful approach to study the structure and dynamics of macromolecules in a close-to-native solution environment. In the present thesis I present my investigation of protein and nucleic acid structure and dynamics in a wide variety of biological...

Fall 2010
In the present work, we focused our attention on triacylglycerols. Their phase behavior strongly influences production processes of products based on fats and oils. However, the mechanisms controlling such behavior are not well understood. Hence, we decided to utilize computer simulation to gain...
