Modeling the Midpalatal Suture during Maxillary Expansion Treatment and its Implication towards Appliance Design
DownloadFall 2014
Widening the maxilla, or upper jaw, is a common treatment in orthodontics used to generate additional room in the correction of tooth misalignments. Expansion is achieved through activation of an appliance inserted in the patients’ upper jaw. Currently, appliances utilizing expansion screws,...

Effect of Dispersion Method on the Thermal and Wear Properties of Graphene Nano Platelet Filler Modified Polyurethane
DownloadSpring 2020
Polyurethane is used in various applications, for example as liner for piping systems, pipelines, pressure vessels and valve trims, where it may be subjected to elevated temperature as well as high rate of erosion. At elevated temperatures, polyurethane erodes at a faster rate. In this research,...

Techno-economic Assessment of Utilization of Food Processing Waste for Production of Energy and Chemicals
DownloadSpring 2017
Alberta’s food processing industry is the second largest food waste producer after the household sector. Most of the waste currently produced by the food processing industry is landfilled. Decomposing landfill waste emits greenhouse gases (GHG), which contribute to global warming. We estimated...

Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Polyethylenimine Mediated Nucleic Acid Complexation with Implications for Non-viral Gene Delivery
DownloadSpring 2013
Gene therapy is a promising therapeutic technique that involves delivering nucleic acids into cells. Polycations have evolved into a major category of gene carriers. Polyethylenimine (PEI) is one of the most effective polycationic carriers. Furthermore, modifying PEI with certain lipophilic...

Experimental Investigation of Near-well Fluid Mechanics on the Scaling Mechanism in Narrow Rectangular Slots
DownloadSpring 2020
This experimental study investigates the effect of near-well fluid mechanics on the scaling failure mechanism specific to SAGD production well. The scaling failure mechanism can be triggered by the pressure drop phenomenon and causes the plugging of the slots in the oilfields. The scale formation...
