MODELLING MSW LEACHATE CHARACTERISTICS AND CLOGGING
(2012-04-26)
A numerical model (BioClog) is developed to examine changes in key municipal solid waste (MSW) leachate characteristics and the porosity of porous media (clogging) as the leachate passes through the drainage layer of a ...
Regulated Freedoms & Disrupted Rituals: Histories of Media Arts Censorship in English Canada
(2010-09-23)
This thesis revisits the effects of moving image regulation, exploring its histories in Canada with an interest in the intersections between arts practitioners and legal processes in the administration of culture. During ...
Subfilter-scale Stress Modelling for Large Eddy Simulations
A subfilter-scale (SFS) stress model is developed for large-eddy simulations (LES) and is tested on various benchmark problems in both wall-resolved and wall-modelled LES. The basic ingredients of the proposed model are ...
STRUCTURE AND PROPERTIES OF SELF-ASSEMBLED SUB-MICRON THIN NAFION® FILMS
(2013-10-10)
This thesis is concerned with the study of morphology and properties of sub-micron thin Nafion® films. The motivation of the work arises from the need to characterize the 4 -10 nm thin ionomer films in the catalyst layer ...
GENDER, CHRISTIANITIES, AND NEO/LIBERAL HEGEMONY: AN ETHNOGRAPHIC EXPLORATION OF GENDER DISCOURSE IN A UNITED CHURCH WOMEN’S GROUP
(2011-09-15)
This thesis explores the potential for ethico-politically committed cultural critique in investigating lived experiences of gender in the hegemonic global north, where the neo/liberal rhetoric of sexual equality tends to ...
The toxicity of alkyl-chrysenes and benz[a]anthracenes to embryonic fish
(2014-01-13)
Alkylated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (alkyl-PAHs) are major constituents of crude oil, and the 3-5 ringed alkyl-PAHs have been identified as the main components chronically toxic to fish. While chysene homologues ...
Heat Transfer in an Airfoil Shaped Strut
(2016-08-31)
The heat transfer from a hot primary flow stream passing over the outside of an airfoil shaped strut to a cool secondary flow stream passing through the inside of that strut was studied experimentally and numerically. The ...

(2016-09-23)
Most essay rating research in language assessment has examined human raters’ essay rating as a cognitive process, thus overlooking or oversimplifying the interaction between raters and sociocultural contexts. Given that ...
STUDIES OF THE COORDINATION CHEMISTRY AND CATALYTIC ACTIVITY OF RHODIUM AND RUTHENIUM N-HETEROCYCLIC CARBENE COMPLEXES
(2010-09-17)
The side-on dioxygen adducts of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) containing rhodium complexes, [ClRh(IPr)2(O2)] and [ClRh(IMes)2(O2)], previously synthesized in our laboratories possess a square planar geometry and O-O bond ...
