Application of Forward Osmosis Membrane Technology for Oil Sands Process-Affected Water Desalination
Download2014-10-01
The extraction process used to obtain bitumen from the oil sands produces large volumes of oil sands process-affected water (OSPW). As a newly emerging desalination technology, forward osmosis (FO) has shown great promise in saving electrical power requirements, increasing water recovery, and...

Application of stratified random census procedures to the 1976 aerial moose census in the AOSERP study area
Download1978
This report gives the first-year interim results of an ongoing project which will be completed in 1978. The project is one of a series to establish the baseline states of the terrestrial fauna in the AOSERP study area. The purpose of this project is to determine the population size of moose in...

Taheriazad, L., Portillo-Quintero, C., Sanchez-Azofeifa, G.A.
Monitoring of environmental conditions in and around oil sands developments has been underway for years. However, recent reviews have indicated the need for a more comprehensive, scientifically-rigourous and transparent monitoring program and have provided recommendations for design and...

Applications of nonautonomous infinite-dimensional systems control theory for parabolic PDEs
DownloadFall 2013
Parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs) are used as models of transport-reaction phenomena in a variety of different industrial chemical and materials engineering processes, and can yield precise descriptions of process variables with complex temporal and spatially dependent system...

Approaches to the design of a biomonitoring program using arthropods as bioindicators for the AOSERP study area
Download1980
Present oil sand extracting plants are licensed to emit up to 635 t of S02 per day, along with large quantities of other gasses and fly ash. Additional oil sand extraction plants are in the planning stages. The cumulative effect of additional plants will tax the ability of the local environment...

Fall 2014
This dissertation describes a series of experiments that examined: 1) hydraulic responses of Populus trichocarpa x deltoides, Populus trichocarpa and Picea glauca plants to change in their surrounding environment; 2) Changes of aquaporin expression in response to such changes. In the first study,...

1979
The epilithic microbial and micro-invertebrate communities under conditions of light and shade were studied from April to November 1978. During a period of increasing light intensity from May to June, the level of chlorophyll a (an algal biomass indicator) and numbers of Bacillariophyta in the...
