Spring 2015
Aiming to pursue studying enhanced oil recovery processes with an ex-situ produced emulsion as flooding agent, an improved core flooding experimental system was designed, constructed and commissioned. The developed system allows the use of not only emulsion, but also other flooding agents,...

Organically-Modified Clay Minerals in Oil Sands: Characterization and Effect of Hydrothermal Treatment
DownloadFall 2017
The intimate association between bitumen components and clay minerals is an important feature of oil sands fine solids. These organically-modified clay minerals cause serious problems in Canadian oil sands production: hindering bitumen extraction, stabilizing water-in-bitumen emulsions, fouling...

Reading Rawls’s Lectures on Hobbes’s Leviathan: Pluralism, Stability, and Political Consensus
DownloadSpring 2014
This work examines Rawls’s lectures on Hobbes, which are delivered at a time when Rawls is developing his political liberalism. It especially seeks to question the foundations of Rawls’s interpretation of Hobbes’s Leviathan as presenting a core “political” doctrine based around prudential egoism....

Spring 2013
This research was aimed at developing porous ceramics as well as ceramic-metal composites that can be potentially used in Gen-IV supercritical water reactors (SCWR). The research mainly includes two parts: 1) fabricating and engineering the porous ceramics and porous ceramic-metal composite; 2)...

Spring 2013
Multilateral systems involving haptic information sharing between several users have recently found interesting applications in cooperative haptic teleoperation and haptic-assisted training. It is intuitively understood that some tasks are performed more effectively with two hands or through...

Spring 2010
There are several technical challenges in large scale heavy oil processing. In the oil sand industry, for example, the existence of water-in-oil emulsion in diluted bitumen produced from froth treatment presents a great challenge to the industry. In this work, the effect of different bitumen...

Study of Methylammonium Lead Triiodide Intrinsic Stability and Solid-Solution behaviour in Mixed Halide Perovskite Systems
DownloadFall 2018
Askar, Abdelrahman Mostafa Mohamed Sanad
Over the last nine years, a new class of materials named lead halide perovskite has made a paradigm shift in the field of optoelectronic solution-processable low-cost and high-efficiency devices, with outstanding accomplishments especially in the ever-growing field of renewable solar energy...

Studying Structure-Nanoaggregation Relations of Polyaromatic Molecules in the Bulk Oil Phase and at the Oil-Water Interface Using Molecular Dynamics Simulation
DownloadSpring 2014
The detection, identification and characterization of early stage molecular association of polyaromatic molecules into nanoaggregates, where these nanoaggregates represent the first level of molecular clusters or building blocks are critical in areas such as design and fabrication of advanced 3-D...

Spring 2022
Naphthenic Froth Treatment (NFT) is employed to remove water droplets and solids from the bitumen froth recovered from the extracted oilsands ore. In the process, bitumen froth is diluted with naphtha to reduce the viscosity and induce density difference to promote settling of water droplets and...

Tooth-anchored vs. bone-anchored maxillary expansion: a randomized controlled trial comparing dental and skeletal effects
DownloadFall 2010
Aim: To investigate the differences, if any, between tooth-anchored maxillary expansion (TME) and bone-anchored maxillary expansion (BME) in terms of the produced longitudinal dentoskeletal changes -and the stability of these changes- in adolescents with maxillary constriction. Methods: ...
