• Investigation of Evapotranspiration in a Bioretention System through Soil Moisture Content 

  Nadori, Richard (Schulich School of Engineering, University of Calgary, 2019-03-25)

  Bioretention systems control stormwater runoff through infiltration, groundwater recharge, and water loss via evapotranspiration (ET) processes. The significance of ET as a volume reduction method has been limited in ...

• Experimental Study of Heavy Oil Recovery Mechanisms during Cyclic Solvent Injection Processes 

  Plata Sanchez, Maria Alejandra (Schulich School of Engineering, University of Calgary, 2019-03-22)

  In recent years, the Cyclic Solvent Injection (CSI) process has shown to be a promising method for enhanced heavy oil recovery in Canada. CSI laboratory studies work for only 2 to 3 cycles due to low incremental oil in ...

• Dynamic Eye-in-Hand Visual Servoing with Neural-Adaptive Backstepping 

  Roy, Preston Logan George (Schulich School of Engineering, University of Calgary, 2019-03-22)

  This thesis investigates eye-in-hand visual servoing, where a camera on the robot arm provides information for the motor-control feedback loop. Current methods use a dual-loop strategy, where the outer-loop uses the visual ...

• Visualization of Multivariate Data on Surfaces 

  Avelino Rocha, Allan Carlos (Science, University of Calgary, 2019-03-19)

  In several domains of science and applications, the understanding of scientific data leads to technological advances and scientific discovery. Multivariate 3D data, for example, is essential for decision-making in fields ...

• Library Migration: A Retrospective Analysis and Tool 

  Zaidi, Syed Sajjad Hussain (Science, University of Calgary, 2019-03-18)

  Modern software engineering practices advocate the principle of reuse through third-party software libraries. Software libraries offer application programming interfaces (APIs) for use by developers, thereby significantly ...

• Optimizing Advance Care Planning in the Acute Cardiac Care Setting: A combined quality improvement and knowledge translation approach. 

  Shaw, Marta (Cumming School of Medicine, University of Calgary, 2019-03-17)

  Advance care planning (ACP) is a process by which patients are able to prepare for future in-the-moment medical decision-making and share their values, wishes and preferences. ACP is important as patients are often not ...

• Functions of natural multicomponent organic mixtures as emergent properties influenced by environmental contaminants 

  Vialykh, Elena (Science, University of Calgary, 2019-03-20)

  The primary focus of this study concerns the functions of natural multicomponent organic mixtures as emergent properties influenced by environmental contaminants. Two types of natural multicomponent organic systems were ...

• Visualizing 4D Spatiotemporal Vortex Behavior Through Evolution Surfaces 

  Ferrari, Simon (Schulich School of Engineering, University of Calgary, 2019-03-20)

  Turbulent fluid flow data is often 4-dimensional (4D), spatially and temporally complex, and requires specific techniques for visualization. Common visualization techniques neglect the temporal aspect of the data, limiting ...

• Conjugative Complexities: Defining the requirements for the transfer of Rhizobium leguminosarum plasmid pRleVF39b 

  Wathugala, Nandun Dulmini (Science, University of Calgary, 2019-03-20)

  The genome of Rhizobium leguminosarum is compartmentalized into a chromosome and multiple large (> 100 kb) plasmids. Four conjugation systems have been identified that can mediate horizontal transfer of these plasmids, and ...

• An Investigation of the Relationship among Conformity, Communication, and Anxiety in Medical Education 

  Al Baz, Noof Khalid (Cumming School of Medicine, University of Calgary, 2019-03-16)

  Health care members can face challenging situations when learning and working within multidisciplinary teams, such as when they are confronted with information that is contrary to their own understanding and knowledge. ...
