Mobility and Safety Implications of Automated Vehicles in Mixed Traffic by Recognizing Behavioral Variations of Drivers
DownloadSpring 2022
The Introduction of Connected-Automated Vehicle (CAV) technology provided a new opportunity to fix the traditional transportation system. Automated vehicles (AuV) would take the driving responsibility and drive the vehicles by analyzing their’ surrounding through a range of sensors. The...

Relationship between trained sensory and objective measured meat quality attributes in crossbred Canadian beef cattle after 3- and 29-days post-mortem aging
DownloadSpring 2022
Meat quality attributes are pivotal for the beef industry. Studies across Canada showed major beef quality concerns originate from inconsistency of palatability attributes. To improve these traits genetically, they should be standardly measured, their (co)variance components and genetic...

The dynamic control of heat exchanger network is important for developing energy efficient and safe industrial processes. In Chapter 3 of this work, the uncertainty is considered in inlet temperature of hot stream. The cold stream is bypassed around the heat exchanger. This work aims to track the...

COMPARISON OF CHEESE, YOGURT, AND MILK EFFECTS ON GLUCOSE HOMEOSTASIS AND LIVER LIPID ACCUMULATION IN MICE FED HIGH-FAT DIET
DownloadSpring 2022
Abstract Background: Many human observational studies show an inverse or neutral association between dairy consumption and the risk of diabetes. Our lab’s previous work suggests that both low and high-fat cheese consumption improves glucose homeostasis in insulin-resistant (IR), prediabetic rats....

Use of Electrical Resistance Heating and Electrical Heater Heating to Remove Condensate Blockage in the Near-wellbore Region
DownloadSpring 2022
During the production of gas condensate from a reservoir, a gas condensate bank may be formed in the near-wellbore region, leading to reduced long-term productivity. The major existing remedial methods for removing the condensate bank include cyclic gas injection, solvent injection, wettability...
