Study on Adsorption of Inorganic-organic Hybrid Polymers and Flocculation of Oil Sands Tailings
DownloadSpring 2013
Two inorganic-organic hybrid polymers, Al(OH)3-polyacrylamide (Al-PAM) and Fe(OH)3-polyacrylamide (Fe-PAM) were synthesized and used in flocculating model tailings (5 wt% kaolin suspensions) and laboratory extraction tailings. For comparison, a commercial anionic flocculant, partially hydrolyzed...

Synthesis and Characterization of Electrospun Activated Carbon Nanofibers Reinforced with Cellulose Nanocrystals for Adsorption Applications
DownloadFall 2019
Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are emerging nanomaterials with desirable characteristics including biodegradability, renewable sources, high aspect ratios, high surface area, and high strength. Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) is the most commonly used polymer precursor for electrospinning due to its high...

Tailoring Molecular Sievesâ Dielectric and Electric Properties for Efficient Microwave and Resistive Heating Regeneration
DownloadSpring 2018
Adsorption onto molecular sieve adsorbents is a well-developed technique in the industry for gaseous pollutants emission control. Loaded adsorbents must then be regenerated for reuse in further adsorption cycles. Microwave and resistive heating have been introduced as potential alternatives to...

Researchers conduct association studies to discover biomarkers in order to gain new biological insight on complex diseases and phenotypes. Although most researchers have intuitions about what defines a biomarker and how to assess the results of an association study, there is neither a formal...

The challenge of applying machine learning techniques to diagnose schizophrenia using multi-site fMRI data
DownloadSpring 2017
One of the main challenges for the use of machine learning techniques in neuroimaging data is the small n, large p problem. Datasets usually contain only a few hundreds of instances (n), each of which is described using hundreds of thousands of features (p). In this dissertation, we explore the...

In a partial-monitoring game a player has to make decisions in a sequential manner. In each round, the player suffers some loss that depends on his decision and an outcome chosen by an opponent, after which he receives "some" information about the outcome. The goal of the player is to keep the...

Decision-making problems with two agents can be modeled as two player games, and a Nash equilibrium is the basic solution concept describing good play in adversarial games. Computing this equilibrium solution for imperfect information games, where players have private, hidden information, is...
