Leg Dominance may not be a Predictor of Asymmetry in Peak Joint Moments and Ground Reaction Forces during Sit to Stand Movements
Download2014
Adeeb, Samer, El-Rich, Marwan, Lewicke, Justin, Carey, Jason P., Schofield, Jonathon, Parent, Eric
Sit-to-stand transfer is a common prerequisite for many daily tasks. Literature often assumes symmetric behavior across the left and right side. Although this assumption of bilateral symmetry is prominent, few studies have validated this supposition. This pilot study uniquely quantifies peak...

Life cycle assessment (LCA) of hydrogen production from underground coal gasification (UCG) with carbon capture and sequestration (CCSA)
Download2015-01-01
Western Canada is endowed with considerable reserves of deep un-mineable coal, which can be converted to syngas by means of a gasification process called underground coal gasification (UCG). The syngas can be transformed into hydrogen (H2) through commercially available technologies employed in...

Life cycle assessment of greenhouse gas emissions from Canada’s oil sands derived transportation fuels
Download2015-01-01
Nimana, Balwinder S., Canter, Christina E., Kumar, Amit
A comprehensive life cycle assessment (LCA) for transportation fuels (gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel) derived from Canada’s oil sands was conducted, and all the current possible pathways from bitumen extraction to use in vehicles were explored. Authors, in earlier studies, have presented the...

Life cycle water footprint of hydrogenation-derived renewable diesel production from lignocellulosic biomass
Download2016-01-01
Wong, Alain, Zhang, Hao, Kumar, Amit
The conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to biofuel requires water. This study is focused on the production of hydrogenation-derived renewable diesel (HDRD) from lignocellulosic biomass. Although there has been considerable focus on the assessment of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, there is...

Life cycle water-demand coefficients for conventional oil production from five North American locations
Download2017-01-01
The production of liquid fuels from crude oil requires water. There has been limited focus on the assessment of life cycle water demand footprints for crude oil production and refining. The overall aim of this paper is address this gap. The objective of this research is to develop water demand...

Sun, Xiaoruo, Asad, Asad, Ali, Mehnab, Morita, Luka, Dolez, Patricia I., Hogan, James D., Sameoto, Dan
This study demonstrates a multi-spectrum camouflage control via microfluidic methods within a thermally and visibly semi-transparent polymer (polyethylene). Microfluidic devices have a high potential for achieving multiband camouflage including both visible and infrared (IR) spectrums because...
