A comparison of passive monitoring methods for gray wolves (Canis lupus) in Alberta, Canada
DownloadSpring 2019
Remote camera traps are often applied to large mammal conservation and management programs because they are cost-effective, allow for repeat surveys, and can be deployed for long time periods. Additionally, statistical advancements in calculating population metrics, such as density, from camera...

A discrete flow (S,X) is a semigroup S acting on a set X where both S, and X are equipped with the discrete topology. Amenability of semigroups is a topic that explores the existence of measures that are invariant under the semigroup multiplication. The goal of this thesis is to generalize these...

Beyond Viscosity—How Density, Vibration and Interfacial Tension Affect Solvent Aided Bitumen Production
DownloadFall 2016
Bitumen and heavy oil comprise a significant percentage of proven oil reserves globally. The environmental impacts of producing these resources with current technologies is a concern for environmentalists, oil producing companies, resource rich jurisdictions and society at large. Dilution of the...

Biology of Caloptilia fraxinella (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae) on ornamental green ash, Fraxinus pennsylvanica (Oleaceae)
Download2009
Abstract: The ash leaf cone roller, Caloltilia firaxinella (Ely), is a leaf-mining moth that has recently become a significant pest of horticultural ash, Fraxinus L., species in communities throughout the western prairie provinces of Canada. The study examines the spatial and temporal within-host...

Colloid Science of Sand Remediation: A Study Motivated by the Non-Aqueous Extraction of Bitumen from Oil Sands
DownloadFall 2014
The current water-based method of bitumen extraction requires withdrawal of fresh water from the Athabasca River — a practice which leads to the continual buildup of tailings ponds and other environmental concerns. As Alberta’s bitumen production is expected to more than double by 2020, there is...

Fall 2014
The non-aqueous extraction process involves dilution of mined oil sand with an organic solvent (the “diluent”), followed by separation of unwanted materials (clays, silica sand, connate water, etc.) from the diluted bitumen. The main focus of this research is on the removal of fines solids from...

Density, strain rate and strain effects on mechanical property evolution in polymeric foams
Download2022-03-01
Bhagavathula, Kapil Bharadwaj, Meredith, Christopher S., Ouellet, Simon, Romanyk, Dan L., Hogan, James D.
This study presents a comprehensive experimental study of the evolution of Poisson’s ratio and tangent modulus of polymeric foams during rate dependant uniaxial compression. In this study, polyurethane foams with densities of 195 kg/m3, 244 kg/m3, and 405 kg/m3 obtained from PORON (XRD series)...

Effect of Temperature, Phase Change, and Chemical Additive on Interfacial Properties and Performance of Steam Applications
DownloadFall 2019
When considering the wettability state during steam applications, we find that most issues remain unanswered. Removal of polar groups from the rock surface with increasing temperature improves water wettability; however, other factors, including phase change, play a reverse role. In other words,...

Wilson, A.J., Pemberton, J.M., Coltman, D.W., Kruuk, L.E.B., Pilkington, J.G., Mifsud, D.V., Clutton-Brock, T.H.
There has recently been great interest in applying theoretical quantitative genetic models to empirical studies of evolution in wild populations. However, while classical models assume environmental constancy, most natural populations exist in variable environments. Here, we applied a novel...
