Brausen, Henry A

We present a platform for research into nanomaterial-enhanced gas sensing using magnetomotive MEMS resonators. A microfabrication process fl ow is developed and carried out to create metallized silicon MEMS resonators. In tandem, a test system based around a balanced electronic bridge is...

Background Efflux pumps belonging to the resistance-nodulation-division (RND) superfamily in bacteria are involved in antibiotic resistance and solvent tolerance but have an unknown physiological role. EmhABC, a RND-type efflux pump in Pseudomonas fluorescens strain cLP6a, extrudes hydrophobic...

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...

Affect detection is increasingly viewed as an essential component of computer-based learning systems because it aims to improve learner outcomes by adapting to the learner’s affect. However, most computer-based learning environments used across formal and informal educational contexts do not...

We study the widespread logarithmic distribution of first significant digits and significands of data sets (referred to as Benford’s Law ) in the context of dynamical systems. Using recent tools and conditions under which a recursively defined sequence is Benford via the classical theory of...

Saposin A (SapA) lipoprotein discs, also known as picodiscs (PDs), represent an attractive method to solubilize glycolipids for protein interaction studies in aqueous solution. Recent electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) data suggest that the size and composition of...

The oil sands industry in Alberta produces large volumes of process-affected water (PAW), which is known to contain heavy metals and organic compounds (such as naphthenic acids, naphthalene, phenanthrene, pyrene, etc.) that are toxic and hazardous to the environment. The industry has an ongoing...

The offsite construction industry continues to rely on experience-based average production rates (i.e., average quantity per unit of time) to estimate and schedule production operations. This approach is hindered by various sources of production variability, such as machine breakdowns and...

This thesis develops a time averaged model (TAM) and a dynamic phasor model (DPM) of a generalised modular multilevel converter (MMC) structure that can be used to represent four different MMC topologies. These four topologies include two different classes of next generation MMCs that are...
