Ability of Anthropometric Measurements to Predict Metabolic Health among Patients in Alberta: A Cross-sectional Study in Primary Care
Download2023-03-08
Ghosh, Sunita, Purcell, Sarah A., Martin, Ken, Lima, Isac, Prado, Carla M.
Purpose: This study compared anthropometric and body fat percent (BF%) equations in relation to measures of metabolic health. Methods: BF% calculations (Bergman, Fels, and Woolcott) and anthropometric measurements were used to determine obesity among a sample of patients attending primary care in...

Computational fluid dynamics investigation of bitumen residues in oil sands tailings transport in an industrial horizontal pipe
Download2023-01-01
Sontti, Somasekhara Goud, Sadeghi, Mohsen, Khou, Kaiyu, Zheng, Enzu, Zhang, Xuehua
Pipeline transport is commonly used in the oil sand industry to convey crushed oil sand ores and tailings. Bitumen residues in the oil sand tailings can be a threat to the environment that separating them from tailings before disposal is crucial. However, low bitumen concentration in the tailing...

Hybrid Finite-Discrete Element Modeling of the Mode I Tensile Response of an Alumina Ceramic
Download2023-03-13
Zheng, Jie, Li, Haoyang, Hogan, James D.
We have developed a three-dimensional hybrid finite-discrete element model to investigate the mode I tensile opening failure of alumina ceramic. This model implicitly considers the flaw system in the material and explicitly shows the macroscopic failure patterns. A single main crack perpendicular...

Local demand management of charging stations using vehicle-to-vehicle service: A welfare maximization-based soft actor-critic model
Download2023-09-03
Akhtar Hussain, Van-Hai Bui, Petr Musilek
Transportation electrification has the potential to reduce carbon emissions from the transport sector. However, the increased penetration of electric vehicles (EVs) can potentially overload the distribution systems. This becomes prominent in locations with multiple EV chargers and charging...

Resilient Dynamic State Estimation for Power System Using Cauchy-Kernel-Based Maximum Correntropy Cubature Kalman Filter
Download2023-04-01
Y. Wang, Z. Yang, Y. Wang, Z. Li, V. Dinavahi, J. Liang
Accurate estimation of dynamic states is the key to monitoring power system operating conditions and controlling transient stability. However, the inevitable non-Gaussian noise and randomly occurring denial-of-service (DoS) attacks may deteriorate the performance of standard filters seriously. To...

Investigation of the Accelerated Thermal Aging Behavior of Polyetherimide and Lifetime Prediction at Elevated Temperature
Download2023-01-01
Cho C., Nam S.L., de la Mata P.A., Harynuk J.J., Elias A., Chung H-J, Dolez P.I.
Fire-protective clothing are manufactured using heat and flame resistant fibers that are made of high-performance polymers. These polymers exhibit a gradual reduction in their performance after long-term exposure under various aging conditions. This study investigates the thermal aging behavior...

Short-Term Load Forecasting and Associated Weather Variables Prediction Using ResNet-LSTM Based Deep Learning
Download2023-01-01
X. Chen, W. Chen, V. Dinavahi, Y. Liu, J. Feng
Short-term load forecasting is mainly utilized in control centers to explore the changing patterns of consumer loads and predict the load value at a certain time in the future. It is one of the key technologies for the smart grid implementation. The load parameters are affected by...

Combined in Vitro-in Silico Approach to Predict Deposition and Pharmacokinetics of Budesonide Dry Powder Inhalers
Download2023-01-01
Ruzycki, C.A., Murphy, B., Nathoo, H., Finlay, W.H., and Martin, A.R.
Purpose: A combined in vitro – in silico methodology was designed to estimate pharmacokinetics of budesonide delivered via dry powder inhaler. Methods: Particle size distributions from three budesonide DPIs, measured with a Next Generation Impactor and Alberta Idealized Throat, were input into a...

Black-capped chickadees (Poecile atricapillus) discriminate between naturally-ordered and scramble-ordered chick-a-dee calls and individual preference is related to rate of learning
Download2023-01-01
Though many forms of animal communication are not reliant on the order in which components of signals are combined to be effective, there is evidence that order does matter for some communication systems. In the light of differential responding to calls of varying note-order observed in...
