Three-Dimensional Electromagnetic Imaging of Porphyry Copper Deposits with MT and ZTEM Data
DownloadFall 2015
This thesis investigates the use of the airborne Z-Axis Tipper Electromagnetic (ZTEM) and ground-based magnetotelluric (MT) exploration techniques to image electrical resistivity contrasts associated with porphyry copper deposits. These techniques were individually used to construct...

Three-dimensional kinematic model of a task specific motion based on instantaneous screw axis theory developed for golf motion analysis
DownloadFall 2009
A large number of studies have concentrated on golf swing biomechanics, ranging from planar rigid-link models to 3D kinematic analysis. A promising technique, instantaneous screw axis (ISA) theory, has not been covered in the literature and could provide a better true segment rotation...

Three-Dimensional Numerical Investigation on Velocity Field and Mixing Characteristics at Channel Junctions
DownloadFall 2014
Channel confluence is an important component in river systems. The flow dynamics and mixing processes associated with such geometry are highly three-dimensional and complicated. In this study, a commercial software, ANSYS CFX, was employed to investigate the flow structures and mixing...

Fall 2011
Drilling-induced fractures in borehole cores have distinct morphologies (e.g., petal, petal-centreline, saddle, and disk) and are produced under pure tensional stress, although most in-situ stresses are compressive. 3D numerical models show that tensile stress concentrations occur near the bottom...

Three-dimensional Outcrop Modelling of Fluvial and Estuarine Outcrops in the Lower Cretaceous McMurray Formation, Northeast Alberta, Canada
DownloadFall 2018
While it is widely accepted that both cross-bedded sand and Inclined Heterolithic Stratification (IHS) are the two main geobodies that compose Aptian-aged middle McMurray Formation strata, the stratigraphic relationship between the two units and their physiographic depositional positions in a...

THREE-DIMENSIONAL OUTCROP MODELLING, SEDIMENTOLOGY, AND ICHNOLOGY OF THE FALHER D MEMBER, NORTHEAST BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA
DownloadFall 2022
The Lower Cretaceous Falher Member is an important hydrocarbon reservoir in the Deep Basin of Alberta and British Columbia. Owing to its economic importance, it has been the subject of many studies. However, there remains contention on the depositional interpretation of individual Falher Member...

Three-Dimensional Skeletal and Dental Relations in Orthodontic Patients with Class I and Class II Division 1 Malocclusions
DownloadFall 2018
Introduction: The fundamental purpose of this thesis was to develop a novel three-dimensional (3D) cephalometric analysis that utilizes a 3D Cartesian coordinate system to classify orthodontic patients into different malocclusion groups, per skeletal and dental relationships they share. A review...
