Modeling and Optimization of CO2 Fixation using Microalgae Cultivated in Oil Sands Process Water
DownloadSpring 2015
Biological fixation of CO2 using microalgae is a potential CO2 reduction strategy which can be applied to the oil sands operations in Alberta. These operations also produce large amounts of oil sands process water (OSPW), which can act as a growth medium for the microalgae. In this thesis, three...

Modelling landscape changes and metrics, and determining optimal resource allocation by integrating Geographic Information Systems, government policy, and economics
DownloadFall 2015
The main goal of this thesis is to contribute to the knowledge base of land use and land cover change dynamics in ecologically sensitive, seasonal environments with a dominant agricultural industry. Anthropogenic alteration by land-based industries currently threatens many ecosystems, including...

New Fast and Accurate Steady-State Analysis Approach for Design, Optimization, and Simulation of General Power Converter Systems
DownloadSpring 2023
Accurate steady-state analysis of power converters are essential for converter design and optimization. Steady-state responses are also useful for component selection, loss calculation, identification of soft switching operation, and small signal modeling of power converters. Normally, a...
