Design and Development of a New Model for Predicting the Mechanical Properties of Three-Dimensional Braided Composite Materials
DownloadFall 2018
Three-dimensional (3D) braided composite materials have been used in the transportation, aviation, and military applications because of their many beneficial attributes. Included in these attributes is their increased through thickness properties that make them an idea replacement for composites...

Developing and testing methods to assess species extinction risk and ecosystem degeneration
DownloadFall 2016
Species worldwide are becoming increasingly threatened due to the rapid changes in climate and land use induced by human activities. The loss of species threatens the provision of food, goods and many other ecosystem services essential to the sustainability and well-being of human society. It is...

Fall 2011
The Kennetcook-Windsor basin is a part of the large composite Maritimes Basin in Atlantic Canada. Subsurface seismic data indicate a very complex basinal history in terms of syn-depositional deformation and superimposition of numerous episodes of fault reactivation in the basin. Faults mapped...

Development of a Framework for Assessment of Water-Energy Demand and Supply in Energy Sector
DownloadFall 2015
Water resource planning and management has become more challenging over the years. To make well-informed long-term system planning decisions, policy makers and resource managers need to fully comprehend the water-energy nexus. There is a scarcity of tools for integrated assessment of greenhouse...

Development of a Toxin-Mediated Predator-Prey Model Applicable to Aquatic Environments in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region
Download2014-12-01
Huang, Q., Wang, H., Lewis, M.A.
Industrial contaminants are one of the leading causes of pollution worldwide. It has been shown that 13 elements considered priority water pollutants by the US Environmental Protection Agency are present in the Athabasca River and are found in oil sands process-affected water. There are likely...

Development, Modelling and Control of a Continuous Pilot Scale Supercritical Fluid Extraction Process
DownloadSpring 2017
In this thesis, the feasibility and operation of a continuous pilot scale supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) process for treatment of oil-contaminated solids, specifically drill cuttings, was investigated. For this purpose, a continuous pilot scale SFE process, the first of its kind, was...

Maddukuri, C.S., Slawson, P.R., Davidson, G.A.
The plume rise, spread and supporting meterological and source data given in Slawson et al (1978) were further analyzed in order to provide a more suitable data set upon which a site-tuned plume dispersion model could be developed. This dispersion model was considered to consist of a buoyant...

Electromechanical Behaviour of Surface-Bonded Piezoelectric Sensors/Actuators with Imperfect Adhesive Layers
DownloadFall 2009
The performance of smart structures depends on the electromechanical behaviour of piezoelectric sensors/actuators and the bonding condition along the interface, which connects the sensor/actuator and the host structures. This thesis documents a theoretical study of the influence of material...

Enhanced N2 and O2 densities inferred from EISCAT observations of Pc5 waves and associated electron precipitation
Download2016
Yau, Andrew W., Sydorenko, Dmytro, Rankin, Robert
An advanced two-dimensional numerical model of the coupled ionosphere and magnetosphere is used to analyze EISCAT observations of ULF waves that are accompanied by electron precipitation with a wide energy spectrum. The observations show columns of significantly enhanced electron density produced...
