Monitoring and Assessment of Geomagnetically Induced Currents in Alberta’s High Voltage Network
DownloadFall 2022
Geoelectric fields produced by time-varying magnetic fields associated with geomagnetic storms can result in potentially damaging geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) in long conductors at Earth’s surface. GICs are quasi-direct currents which have been demonstrated to pose a significant risk...

In this thesis, we consider a homogeneous and isotropic closed model of the Universe with a real massive scalar field. Hawking showed that if such a model of the Universe is fine-tuned, it can have an infinite number of bounces. We study the case for the Universe that is microscopically...

Magnetic spin waves (magnons) are promising building blocks in developing classical and quantum hybrid systems. Magnons can couple to numerous sub-systems, such as microwave and optical photons, superconducting qubits and phonons. However, the parametric interaction between magnons and...

The Canadian Cordillera (mountain belts) in western Canada has a high elevation (~1.5 km above sea level), thin crust (~35 km) and thin lithosphere (50-70 km). In contrast, the Laurentian Craton to the east has a low elevation (near sea level) and thicker crust and lithosphere (~40 km and >200...

Paleomagnetism and paleogeographic reconstructions of the North China Craton in the Late Carboniferous - Early Permian and the South China Craton in the Late Ediacaran - Early Cambrian
DownloadFall 2022
Abstract The robustness of paleogeographic reconstructions of the North China Craton (NCC) and South China Craton (SCC) in the Ediacaran - Paleozoic is greatly affected by a small number of high-reliability paleomagnetic poles. Reduced reliability of available paleomagnetic data is attributed to...

Interactions between a flat slab and overriding plate: Controlling factors of subduction dynamics and continental deformation
DownloadFall 2022
Subduction zones are active plate margins that have an important role in mantle and lithosphere processes. Subduction is driven by the negative buoyancy of the downgoing oceanic plate, resulting in a steep descent angle at most subduction zones. However, in approximately 10% of modern subduction...

The Einstein-de Haas (EdH) effect was measured for the first time more than a century ago, and a classical theory of its operational principle existed many years before the first observation of the effect. EdH torques are generated by the time rate of change of angular momentum and represent the...

A Measurement of Solar Neutrinos and the Development of Reconstruction Algorithms for the SNO+ Experiment
DownloadSpring 2022
This thesis presents a measurement of the flux of Boron-8 ($^8$B) solar neutrinos. The measurement is based on a dataset of 190.33 live days acquired during the SNO+ water physics commissioning. To analyze the data, an event reconstruction framework was developed to evaluate the orientation of...

Study of Physics and Mathematics Principles of Cuff-Based Blood Pressure Measurement Methods
DownloadSpring 2022
The two most important methods used to measure blood pressure, the cuff-based methods of oscillometry and auscultation, are analyzed in this work. The goal is to understand the principles and shortcomings of each method in order to suggest some improvements that can be immediately implemented in...

One of the prominent areas of interest in current plasma science is focused on understanding the mechanisms of heat transport beyond classical Coulomb collisions. The topic has applications in many areas of plasma physics, such as the solar corona and nuclear fusion devices. In strongly...
