Bangash, A.A., Ali, K., Hindle, Abram
Android byte-code transformations are used to optimize applications (apps) in terms of run-time performance and size. But do they affect the energy consumption during this process? If they do, can we employ them to reduce an app’s energy consumption? Given that most existing energy optimization...

Romansky, S., Chowdhury, S.A., Hindle, Abram, Borle, N., Greiner, R.
Inefficient mobile software kills battery life. Yet, developers lack the tools necessary to detect and solve energy bugs in software. In addition, developers are usually tasked with the creation of software features and triaging existing bugs. This means that most developers do not have the time...

Geothermal energy is a low-carbon, base-load, renewable energy resource that should form part of the future global energy portfolio as we seek to reduce carbon emissions and mitigate climate change. In Canada, geothermal resources are underdeveloped and require further investigation to facilitate...

As global greenhouse gas emissions continue to increase, there is a growing focus on low-carbon initiatives, specifically renewable alternatives to conventional fossil fuels for energy production. Transitions to renewable energy sources may occur across scales, including community-scale energy...

Nutritional value of heat-processed field pea and lentil grains as alternative feedstuffs for pigs
DownloadFall 2020
Field pea and lentil grains are alternative starch and protein sources for swine; however, pulse grains have a lower energy digestibility in pigs than conventional feedstuffs, contain trypsin inhibitors that may reduce protein digestion, and may reduce feed efficiency (G:F). Processing using...

Newer energy codes for buildings in Canada now require energy losses associated with thermal bridging in smaller components to be accounted for. In masonry cavity wall systems, most of the energy losses from thermal bridging are due to structural penetrations at floor levels located at the shelf...

Public Perception of Hydraulic Fracturing and the Oil and Gas Industry in Western Canada: What the Frack is Going On?
DownloadSpring 2021
Hydraulic fracturing (HF), colloquially known as fracking, is an extremely divisive topic. One of its associated risks is the potential for induced seismicity (IS). Although HF has been around since the 1950s in Alberta, factors affecting public perception of the risks of IS are not fully...

Solving the radiative transfer problem in SPH simulations of contact binary mergers using FluxCal
DownloadFall 2019
V1309 Sco was observed in 2008 as a luminous red nova and presents as some of the best time-resolved spectral data of a contact binary merger. However, the parameters of its progenitor and the physics behind the morphology of its light curve remain uncertain. We use the Smoothed Particle...
