High-κ Complex Oxides for Advanced Gate Dielectric Applications Grown by Atomic Layer Deposition
DownloadSpring 2016
As conventional SiO2 gate dielectric thickness shrank to a few atomic layers, gate dielectric tunneling increased dramatically. The primary way to reduce tunneling is to increase film thickness, which decreases capacitance. High-dielectric-constant (high-κ) oxides were introduced to maintain...

Role of Nano and Microsize Clay Minerals in Non-Aqueous Bitumen Extraction from Alberta Oil Sands
DownloadFall 2018
The current commercial aqueous extraction processes produce large amounts of tailings and is the major obstacle to recovery of bitumen from the oil sands. Solvent-based bitumen extraction is an alternative process, due to its high bitumen recovery and dry solids/tailings (gangue). During...

An investigation into the Development of Ceramic Sorbents for High Temperature Air Separation for OxyFiring
DownloadSpring 2014
Oxyfuel combustion as one of the alternatives to post-combustion carbon capture technologies requires an economically viable oxygen supply system. Cryogenic air separation, the main currently available technology, consumes above 30% of the energy produced as it involves separation of nitrogen...

Optimization techniques, in conjunction with a finite element thermal model, are used in this thesis to optimize the temperature profile (i.e. cooling rate and coiling temperature) of a steel skelp during laminar cooling. Optimization parameters include skelp velocity, laminar cooling bank...

Fall 2009
This thesis is concerned with subspace identification and its applications for controller performance assessment and process modeling from closed-loop data. A joint input-output closed-loop subspace identification method is developed which provides consistent estimation of the subspace matrices...

Fall 2013
State inference and identification of discrete-time, non-linear, stochastic state-space models (SSMs) are considered here. A novel sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) based Bayesian method for simultaneous on-line state inference and identification of non-linear SSMs is proposed. Extension of the method...

The formation of bainite is the most studied and the most debated phase transformation in steels, with research spanning almost a century. With two theories of transformation, the transformation mechanism of bainite is still a disputed subject among physical metallurgists. Upper bainite and lower...
