Experiences of Motherhood That Contribute to the Recovery Processes of Adult Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse
DownloadSpring 2014
The experiences of motherhood and recovery among six female survivors of child sexual abuse were explored with the purpose of furthering our understanding of how motherhood can promote and contribute to sexual assault recovery processes. It has been well-established that child sexual abuse can...

Extraction of hydrocarbons from an Athabasca oil sand slurry were conducted using supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2). The oil sand was slurried to a 1:1 ratio with water and experiments were conducted using a laboratory-scale batch supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) system. Preliminary tests...

Extraction of Hydrocarbons from Bitumen and Bitumen-containing Process and Process Waste Streams using Supercritical Carbon Dioxide
DownloadSpring 2019
Extractions of hydrocarbons from bitumen and bitumen-containing process and process waste streams generated from surface mined oil sands were conducted using supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2). Dynamic extractions were performed on a bench-scale batch supercritical fluid extraction (SFE)...

Heavy Oil/Bitumen Recovery by Alternate Injection of Steam and Solvent (Hydrocarbon and CO2) in Fractured Carbonates and Oilsands
DownloadFall 2013
The world energy demand is constantly increasing and fossil fuels are still by far the main energy resource that supplies the world energy consumption market, therefore increasing oil recovery from all types of reservoirs is an important matter. The burning of fossil fuels for energy purposes, on...

High-Float Emulsion Residue: A New Rheological Model Based on the Existence of a Yield Stress
DownloadFall 2016
“High-float” (HF) emulsions are dispersions of micron-sized bitumen droplets in water, with a special type of anionic surfactant functioning as stabilizer. By allowing the water to evaporate from an HF emulsion, what remains is called a “high-float emulsion residue.” Although indistinguishable in...

Spring 2019
The oil sands industry in Alberta, Canada has been thriving for over five decades, and this multi-million-year-old resource has fueled rapid economic growth in Alberta. However, the oil sands industry has left behind tons of oil sands tailings and oil sands process-affected water (OSPW), and the...

Investigation of Pavement Management Practices and Pavement Material Performance in Alberta, Canada
DownloadFall 2018
Roadways are one of the most important pieces of public infrastructure in any municipality, province, or country. Roads connect economic corridors encouraging trade, provide citizens with the option to travel, and remain a necessity for all people to access work and the majority of the main...
