Fall 2016
Collecting information is of vital importance for the development of a mineral project. The capital costs of mining projects are high and there is significant risk due to the available data. At all stages of a project, from exploration to mine closure, decisions need to be made that are based off...

Advanced quantitative techniques to enhance heavy and civil construction information modeling
DownloadSpring 2011
Site development in heavy and civil construction need to consider many rules such as ensuring proper drainage, prevention of flood, safety driving, optimizing earthwork, minimizing fleet travel distances, proper fleet matching and achieving high equipment utilization rates. In recent decades,...

Advanced Grade Control with Multivariate Geostatistics, Blast Movement Modeling, and Optimized Dig Limits
DownloadFall 2019
Vasylchuk, Yaroslav Valentynovych
Grade control in open pit mines establishes the final destination for mined material (e.g., plant, leach pad, stockpile, waste dump, etc.). In contrast to long- and medium-term mine planning, errors at this stage of a mine operation cannot be changed in the future; correct decisions bring a...

Advanced Closed-Loop Reservoir Management for Computationally Efficient Data Assimilation and Real-Time Production Optimization of SAGD Reservoirs
DownloadSpring 2018
Steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD), an in-situ thermal oil recovery method is successfully utilized to extract bitumen from the Canadian oil sands. To improve the reservoir performance, an idea of closed-loop reservoir management (CLRM) was proposed that comprises near-continuous data...

Adsorption and Microwave Regeneration for Controlling Volatile Organic Compounds Emissions from Automotive Paint Booths
DownloadFall 2016
Adsorption is a widely used method for control of organic compounds produced during painting operations. After adsorption, the loaded adsorbent should be regenerated to recover the adsorbates and reuse the adsorbent for subsequent adsorption/regeneration cycles. Accumulation of non-desorbed...

Adsorbents for the Removal of Naphthenic Acids from Oil Sands Process Water: Investigation of Reclamation Materials from Surface Mining of Oil Sands and Development of Biochars from Biological Sludge and Peat
DownloadSpring 2023
Crominski da Silva Medeiros, Deborah C.
Oil sands process water (OSPW) is generated in high quantities during the extraction of the bitumen from the oil sands. Naphthenic acids (NAs) are recalcitrant compounds, corresponding more than 50% of all organics in OSPW. The efficient management of OSPW is of importance to guarantee efficient...

Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis: Classifying, Assessing, and Monitoring using Surface Topography Asymmetry Analysis
DownloadFall 2014
The radiation dose and the associated lifetime risk of developing cancer is a problem justifying the use of surface topography (ST) as an alternative to radiographs for monitoring scoliosis. The current ST methods mainly rely on marker placement and fail to describe the 3D aspect of the scoliosis...
