Mechanistic Dissolution Modeling of a Poorly Soluble Drug; an Evaluation of Formulation Influence and Simulation Parameters for Enhancing Predictive Capability
DownloadFall 2019
In early drug development, the selection of a formulation platform and decisions on formulation strategies have to be made within a short timeframe and often with minimal use of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). At this stage, there is limited information available about the...

Malamace da Silva, Victor Hugo
The oil sands of Western Canada are among the most abundant and economically important unconventional petroleum resources. Hydrocarbon extraction from oil sands is conducted using warm water or in situ technologies that face considerable environmental challenges. Oil sands can also be valorized...

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...

Numerical Study on the Hydraulics of Stormwater Catch Basin Grate Inlets under Clean and Clogging Conditions
DownloadSpring 2023
Accurate assessment of urban drainage system is vital for municipalities. Stormwater catch basin (CB) inlets are critical linkages between the two dimensional (2-D) urban street flow and the 1-D underground sewer network flow. So far, extensive studies have been conducted to quantify the...

Optimization of Outflow Control Devices Design in Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage Models with Wellbore Trajectory Excursions
DownloadFall 2018
Canada has giant oil reserves which ranks third worldwide with proven oil reserves of 171 billion barrels. Alberta alone contributes with 165.4 billion barrels found in oil sands. However, those oil sands are extremely viscous and only 10% are recoverable by means of open-pit mining. In-situ...
