Recent Submissions
-
(2020-03-27)Mitigating climate change requires elimination of fossil fuel related greenhouse gas emissions. Transitioning electricity generation to low-carbon sources and substituting fossil fuels with electricity in non-electric ...
-
(2020-03-27)Coherent plane-wave compounding (CPWC) ultrasonography is an important imaging modality that allows for very high frame rates. During CPWC image reconstruction, computationally expensive delay-and-sum beamforming can be ...
-
Temporal optimization for affordable and resilient Passivhaus dwellings in the social housing sector (Applied Energy, 2020)Scarcity of affordable energy efficient dwellings is a defining characteristic of the global housing crisis. In many countries this problem has been exacerbated by single objective cost-models which favour the homogeneous ...
-
(2020-03-24)Potent opioids (fentanyl) are entering recreational drug manufacturing processes, sometimes without the knowledge of people who use drugs. This is contributing to tens of thousands of accidental overdose deaths each year. ...
-
(Case Studies in Construction Materials, 2020)Crack formation under tensile forces is a major weakness of concrete. Cracks make concrete vulnerable to extreme environment due to ingress of water and harmful compounds from surrounding environment. Even though concrete ...
-
(2020-03-17)A security operation center (SOC) is a cybersecurity clearinghouse responsible for monitoring, collecting and analyzing security events from organizations’ IT infrastructure and security controls. Despite their popularity, ...
-
(2020-03-17)Plasmonics has been used to increase the interaction of an emitter and light. This enhancement can be achieved by using plasmonic resonators at the emission and/or absorption wavelengths of the emitter. This dissertation ...
-
Modeling the negative capacitance effect in dispersive organic materials using modified Drude theory (Solid State Electronics Letters, 2019)Frequency- and mobility-dependent admittance have been observed in organic polymer light-emitting diodes. In this paper, we developed a model to describe this dispersive behavior using a modified Drude theory. In this ...
-
(Crystals, 2020)Three-dimensional numerical simulations were conducted for the Top-Seeded Solution Growth (TSSG) process of silicon carbide (SiC) crystals. We investigated the influence of coils frequency and peak current, and an applied ...
-
(2020-03-04)This thesis details the procedure and the results of Raman spectroscopy obtained for graded concentrations of aqueous samples passing through the core of a stand alone hollow core fiber(HCF). Also, spectroscopic analysis ...
-
(Molecules, 2020)Composites are composed of two or more materials, displaying enhanced performance and superior mechanical properties when compared to their individual components. The use of biocompatible materials has created a new category ...
-
(Water, 2020)There is a need for accessible and low-cost microbiological water quality testing in contexts where diarrheal illness is a major public health concern. In most cases, the quantification of Escherichia coli and other microbial ...
-
(Water, 2020)The drying (or dewatering) of fresh feces and fecal sludge is a productive step in the management of sanitation, waste treatment, and resource recovery services. An improved understanding of fresh feces and fecal sludge ...
-
(International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2020)Young children are particularly vulnerable to the chronic sequelae of anemia, including poor nutritional status. The aim of this study was to assess intestinal parasitic-infections and nutritional status (anemia and linear ...
-
(2020-02-18)Marine transportation systems provide a vital lifeline to coastal communities. Coastal British Columbia (BC) is dependent on marine transportation for goods distribution, public transportation, and tourism. This marine ...
-
(Journal of Manufacturing and Materials Processing, 2018)Flame spray pyrolysis, widely used in chemical industries, is a technology to synthesize nanoparticles. While the flame spray pyrolysis uses fuels as a solution liquid, the flame-assisted spray pyrolysis method uses aqueous ...
-
(2020-02-13)The lifted wavelet transforms of 3-D polygon meshes are introduced, and the details of Loop and Butterfly wavelet transforms are studied. Then, a library that implements a framework for computing lifted wavelet transforms ...
-
(2020-02-12)In recent years, the treatment of stormwater and surface runoffs using innovatively created natural sites has gained increasing attention. These sites, that are vegetated multi-layered depressions on the ground, named as ...
-
(2020-02-04)E-bikes can significantly enhance adoption of cycling as an urban transportation mode and have the advantage of low space requirements, very small operational GHG emissions, and a negligible contribution to infrastructure ...
