A techno-economic assessment of large scale wind-hydrogen production with energy storage in western Canada
Download2016-01-01
Olateju, Babatunde, Kumar, Amit, Secanell, Marc
Hydrogen production via steam methane reforming (SMR) dominates the supply to refining complexes worldwide, resulting in significant greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. There is a considerable demand for clean hydrogen pathways that are economically competitive with SMR. The development of a 563 MW...

A techno-economic assessment of the liquefied natural gas (LNG) production facilities in Western Canada
Download2016-01-01
Raj, Ratan, Suman, Ravi, Ghandehariun, Samane, Kumar, Amit, Tiwari, Manoj K.
The availability and low cost of natural gas in North America open the possibility of transporting it to places where there is significant demand. Natural gas can be transported long distances as liquefied natural gas (LNG). In this paper, data-intensive techno-economic models were developed to...

A techno-economic study of shipping LNG to the Asia-Pacific from western Canada by LNG carrier
Download2016-01-01
Raj, Ratan, Ghandehariun, Samane, Kumar, Amit, Geng, Jia, Linwei, Ma
There is a high demand for natural gas in the Asia-Pacific region. Most of this gas is exported from the Middle East, Australia, Indonesia, and Malaysia. There is interest in the Asia-Pacific to diversify its import portfolio. From a Canadian perspective, there are abundant resources of natural...

Kazemi, Nazli, Abdolrazzaghi, Mohammad, Musilek, Petr
In this study, a loss-compensated microwave (MW) planar sensor is used to characterize fluids at ~1 GHz. The environmental temperature is shown to adversely impact the recorded resonance frequency of the MW sensor, leading to data mixing. This issue is resolved using a feedforward artificial neural...

Migrations allow animals to track seasonal changes in resources, find mates, and avoid harsh climates, but these regular, longdistance movements also have implications for parasite dynamics and animal health. Migratory animals have been dubbed “superspreaders” of infection, but migration can also...

A unifying theory for 2D spatial redistribution kernels with applications to model-fitting in ecology
Download2020-01-01
Dean C. Koch, Mark A. Lewis, Subhash R. Lele
When building models to explain the dispersal patterns of organisms, ecologists often use an isotropic redistribution kernel to represent the distribution of movement distances based on phenomenological observations or biological considerations of the underlying physical movement mechanism....

Zhang, Qiang, Serpe, Michael J.
A versatile surface modification technique was developed to yield poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAm) microgel-based thin films on a variety of substrates, e.g., metals, nonmetals, and polymers. Because the chemistry, and hence functionality and responsivity, of the pNIPAm-based microgels is...

A well-to-wire life cycle assessment of Canadian shale gas for electricity generation in China
Download2016-01-01
Raj, Ratan, Ghandehariun, Samane, Kumar, Amit, Linwei, Ma
China relies heavily on coal for power generation, and the demand for coal in a country of this size makes China the world’s largest carbon dioxide emitter; hence China is pursuing greener pathways for power generation. Importing shale gas in the form of LNG from Canada is one such pathway. It...

Blanes, Milena S., Tsoi, Stephen C., Dyck, Michael K.
Research into prenatal programming in the pig has shown that the sex of the developing embryo or fetus can influence the developmental outcome. Therefore, the ability to determine an embryo's sex is necessary in many experiments particularly regarding early development. The present protocol...
