Geomechanical behaviour of fibre-reinforced cemented paste backfill under cyclic loading conditions
(2022)
Cemented paste backfill (CPB) is considering a promising mine backfilling technology with
several technical, environmental, and economic benefits for the underground mining operation.
After placed into underground voids ...
Effect of sulfate content on the evolutive fracture behavior and properties of fiber-reinforced cemented paste backfill
(2022)
Backfilling technology is utilized globally to improve ore recovery, reduce mine-generated waste,
and provide stability to underground voids. Cemented paste backfill (CPB), a mixture of mine
tailings, cement binder, and ...
A numerical simulation study on the interaction of particles with rough surface and soft structures in suspension systems
(2022)
Particle interactions in complex colloidal systems are essential in a variety of traditional and emerging
industrial processes. This thesis applied the extended Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (XDLVO)
theory to calculate ...
The influence of temperature on dynamic membrane structure
(2022)
This study investigates the influences of cold source-water temperatures and warm
temperature recoveries on the dynamic changes of membrane structure. The morphology of
membrane pores on the membrane surface was firstly ...
Nonlinear mathematical and numerical modeling of the effect of temperature on membrane pore size
(2022)
Due to the growth of the global population, water stress has risen sharply. However,
water stress in high latitudes is not only due to population growth but also to low local
temperatures. Numerous studies have shown ...
New insights into modern human behaviour at Liang Bua (Flores, Indonesia) based on the temporal distribution of pottery and mollusks during the past 5,000 Years
(2022)
In addition to preserving a rich archaeological record spanning from ~190 thousand years
ago (ka) until the terminal Pleistocene, Liang Bua (Flores, Indonesia) also preserves a rich and
relatively complete Holocene ...
It was neither Confucian nor confusion: dynamics of intercultural sensitivity among East-Asian students at Canadian universities
(2022)
International students from Confucian heritage culture countries are often perceived
by westerners as having low intercultural communication competence (ICC) (Zhu &
Bresnahan, 2018). In popular media and mainstream ...
Driver and landscape-related factors associated with reported wildlife-vehicle collisions in Thunder Bay, Ontario
(2022)
The ever-expanding road network in Ontario has created serious implications for wildlife
and their movement within the province. This has led to the discovery of many factors that have
the potential to increase the risk ...
2D geometric morphometrics of murine mandibular toothrows from Liang Bua (Flores, Indonesia): implications for taxonomic identification
(2022)
This study uses—and evaluates the efficacy of—two-dimensional geometric
morphometrics (2DGM) to quantitatively characterize the size and shape of murine rodent (i.e.,
rat) mandibular molar rows from the archaeological ...
Towards a blockchain-based trustful mechanism for IoT-enabled data trading systems
(2022)
Internet of Things (IoT) devices generate and collect massive amounts of IoT
data. Monetizing the flood of data generated by the IoT devices has enabled the
creation of IoT data trading systems where individuals and ...
