Biodegradation of Hydrocarbons in Bitumen: Exploring Plant-Assisted and Microbial Stimulation Techniques
DownloadFall 2020
While bitumen is one of the oldest construction materials in the world and currently provides an important fuel needed to sustain our modern lifestyle, the disturbances caused by extracting and refining this material are considerable, with 895 km2 of land being disturbed in Alberta as of 2018...

Development and Validation of a Sclerotinia sclerotiorum-Specific Quantitative PCR Assay to Assess Risk of Sclerotinia Stem Rot of Canola (Brassica napus)
DownloadFall 2016
Sclerotinia stem rot, caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, is a major disease of canola (Brassica napus) commonly managed by the routine application of fungicides. Petal infestation is an important stage of the disease cycle and has been the focus of previously developed Sclerotinia stem rot risk...

Exploring how soil fungi can be used to restore native trees on reclaimed substrates containing petroleum hydrocarbons
DownloadSpring 2023
As part of reclaiming landscapes mined for bitumen, ecosystems must be revegetated to restore self-sustaining ecosystems in the boreal forest of western Canada. Current reclamation practices can involve the construction of large landforms, sometimes from overburden containing up to 8%...

Forecasting of Dynamic Thermal Line Rating Under the Conditions of Temporal Discretization and Correlation
DownloadSpring 2021
Dynamic Thermal Line Rating (DTLR) is a technology that optimizes the utility of overhead power transmission lines by dynamically adjusting the rating according to current ambient conditions. To be truly useful, forecasting of DTLR must be applied within processes governing the function of the...
