Graphene Reinforced Adhesives for Improved Joint Characteristics in Large Diameter Composite Piping
DownloadSpring 2013
Higher specific properties and corrosion resistance of fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) pipes make them a potential candidate for replacing metallic piping structures. This research project is concerned with adhesively bonded FRP pipe sections. The project can broadly be classified into three...

The development of a biorefining process acknowledges the feedstock characterization as it can often dictate the process technology. The maturity stages of agricultural feedstocks also have the potential for altering the process conditions. Thus, the variability of growth stages at 4-6 leaf,...

Background Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a major cause of mortality and morbidity globally. Vertical transmission is the primary mode of HIV acquisition among infants. Although successful interventions have reduced vertical transmission to less than <2.9% in low-to-middle income countries...

Investigation of the Tearing Mechanism of Bonded Soft Elastomers with Finite Interfacial Friction
DownloadFall 2015
The role of interfacial slippage on the deformation and stress fields near an interfacial crack are investigated in detail. First, the limiting extents of interfacial bonded friction, defined as the frictionless' andno-slip' cases, were modeled as hyperelastic elastostatic boundary value problems...

Life history strategies of northern form Dolly Varden (Salvelinus malma malma) in the western Canadian Arctic
DownloadFall 2017
Northern form Dolly Varden char (Salvelinus malma malma) inhabit cold-water streams in the western Canadian Arctic. They are an important cultural and subsistence resource to local Aboriginal communities, yet little is known about their complex early life histories. Populations of Dolly Varden...

Litter birth weight phenotype and maternal n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid supplementation in pigs
DownloadSpring 2013
Research reported in this thesis investigated effects of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (LCPUFA) supplementation, litter birth weight phenotype, and their possible interactions, on reproductive performance of the gilt and sow and postnatal performance of the litter. In an initial study, LCPUFA...

Because of their high strength to weight ratio, stiffened steel plates are often used in light structures where plates are placed into compression. The stability of steel plates stiffened with longitudinal tee-shaped stiffeners and subjected to uniaxial compression or combined axial compression...
