The effects of nanosilver on northern pike
(2018)
Nanosilver (nAg) is an effective anti-microbial agent that is being increasingly used in consumer products. With such an expansive list of products incorporating nAg, the risk of environmental release is high. Studies ...
Kama Creek culvert restoration: an assessment of long-term remediation success
(2018)
The purpose of studying the long term remediation success of Kama Creek, Nipigon Bay, Lake Superior, was to follow up on past remediation research with special attention to emerging concerns and the importance of continued ...
Electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide on nanostructured catalysts
(2018)
There is great interest in the conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) to useful chemicals and fuels toward addressing the increasingly serious impacts of global climate change. The electrochemical reduction of CO2 has garnered ...
The effect of vertical internals on the hydrodynamics and phase dispersions in bubble columns: CFD simulation and population balance model
(2018)
Vertical internals are widely installed in the bubble columns as heat exchangers or illuminating tubes. This research aims to investigate the effect of dense vertical internals (rods) on the performance of bubble columns. ...
Vibration suppression and energy harvesting with a variant nonlinear energy sink
(2018)
Vibration control is aimed to suppress or eliminate unwanted vibration to ensure proper
operation of machines. On the other hand, energy harvesting intends to scavenge energy from
ambient vibrations to power electronical ...
Digital Visions: Developing 21st century skills and competencies with the Digital Media Academy
(2018-05-18)
This thesis proposes the need for a comprehensive digital literacy program in Ontario
schools. A K-12 digital literacy program is essential so that students can grow up with a set of
21st century skills and competencies ...
Mesophilic submerged anaerobic membrane bioreactor for pulp and paper secondary sludge treatment
(2018)
The production of pulp and paper is associated with the generation of large quantities of wastewater that has to be purified to avoid severe pollution of the environment. Wastewater purification in pulp and paper mills ...
Dispersion and flocculation affinity of anionically charged kraft lignin
(2018)
Softwood kraft lignin is a biodegradable, renewable, and environmentally friendly natural polymer. Although kraft lignin is widely produced in Canada, it is predominantly underutilized as fuel because it is only soluble ...
Performance investigation of H control and port controlled Hamilton with dissipation based nonlinear control for IPMSM drives
(2018-03-13)
Within the field of electrical drive systems, there has been increasing popularity
in the use of permanent magnetic synchronous machines as an execution unit, and the cooperation
with high performance control strategy. ...
