A body composition model to estimate mammalian energy stores and metabolic rates from body mass and body length, with application to polar bears
Download2009-01-01
Derocher, Andrew E., Klanjscek, Tin, Molnár, Péter K., Lewis, Mark A., Obbard, Martyn E.
Many species experience large fluctuations in food availability and depend on energy from fat and protein stores for survival, reproduction and growth. Body condition and, more specifically, energy stores thus constitute key variables in the life history of many species. Several indices exist to...

Analysis of the cost effectiveness of alternative policies and technologies to manage water extractions by the oil sands sector along the lower Athabasca River
DownloadFall 2009
The Lower Athabasca Water Management Framework limits water extractions by the oil sands industry near Fort McMurray, Alberta. To increase water-use efficiency and minimise the cost of water restrictions, several policy and technology options were developed and assessed using quantitative and...

Spring 2022
Meat products, including ready-to-eat (RTE) ham, fresh poultry meat, and dry pet foods have been associated with several foodborne outbreaks and recalls, due to the occurrence of microbial pathogens such as Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium. Elimination of these...

Effects of aspen harvesting on groundwater recharge and water table dynamics in a subhumid climate
Download2011
Devito, K.J., Mendoza, C.A., Smerdon, B.D., Carrera-Hernández, J. J., Petrone, R.M.
Numerical experiments were developed using different water table depths and soil textures to investigate the impact of aspen harvesting on hydrological processes on the Western Boreal Plain. The effect of harvesting on soil moisture dynamics, fluxes at the water table, and water table fluctuation...

Fall 2024
This thesis studies a virtual power plant (VPP) that trades the bidirectional charging flexibility of privately owned plug-in electric vehicles (EVs) in a real-time electricity market to maximize its profit. The main contribution of this thesis is the development of scalable and efficient...

Runoff generation in a steep snow-dominated watershed in Alberta's southern Rocky Mountains
DownloadFall 2019
Star Creek is a snowmelt-dominated, steep mountain watershed with shallow soils, deep glacial till, and fractured sedimentary bedrock in the eastern slopes of Alberta’s Rocky Mountains. Measurements of streamflow quantity and chemistry at variable scales, water table dynamics, and precipitation...
