COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS (CFD) MODELING OF A PILOT-SCALE MEMBRANE FILTRATION TECHNOLOGY TO TREAT OILY WASTEWATER
(2022-12-02)In this study, a pilot-scale membrane filtration system for the treatment of oily wastewater through a comprehensive three-dimensional (3D) computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling was investigated. The model was designed ... -
Computational Investigation into Catalytic Mechanisms of Disease-Causing Enzymes and Biocatalysts
(2015)Computational chemistry, namely the ONIOM method, is used to investigate areas of interest to drug design, including malaria and inflammation, as well as biocatalysts for the hydration of nitrile substrates. With the ... -
Computational methods for efficient processing and analysis of short-read Next-Generation DNA sequencing data
(2020-04-13)DNA sequencing has transformed the discipline of population genetics, which seeks to assess the level of genetic diversity within species or populations, and infer the geographic and temporal distributions between members ... -
Computational Methods for Spatial OLAP
(2011-04-20)Data warehousing and On-line Analytical Processing (OLAP) are powerful tools for processing and analyzing business and analytical data. It is estimated that 80% of the data stored in data warehouses have some spatial ... -
COMPUTATIONAL MODEL OF THE CATALYTIC CYCLE OF ORGANOSELENIUM ANTIOXIDANTS
(2012-07-31)The chemistry of the enzyme glutathione peroxidase and synthetic organoselenium enzyme mimics has been a significant research interest for more than three decades. In this work, the results of a computational study employing ... -
COMPUTATIONAL MODELING OF PREFRONTAL-HIPPOCAMPAL INTERACTIONS IN VERBAL MNEMONIC DISCRIMINATION

Concentration and characterization of microplastics in Blue mussels (Mytilus edulis) and Eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica) from Nova Scotia
(2023-12-06)Microplastics (MPs) (<5 mm) have become an increasingly global concern due to their potential to impact both human health and the environment. This research explored the occurrence of microplastics in Blue mussels (Mytilus ... -
CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT OF ROTATING BED REACTOR FOR CHEMICAL LOOPING COMBUSTION USING METHANE AS FUEL AND COPPER OXIDE AS AN OXYGEN CARRIER
(2015-06-04)A CFD model of a rotating bed reactor for chemical looping combustion involving the catalyzed reaction of methane with oxygen using a CuO-based oxygen carrier was developed in this work. The effects of process parameters ... -
Concept Embedding for Deep Neural Functional Analysis of Genes and Deep Neural Word Sense Disambiguation of Biomedical Text
(2019-07-17)As far as Gene Ontology (GO) is concerned, most of the existing gene functional similarity measures combine information content-based semantic similarity scores of single GO-term pairs to estimate gene functional similarity, ... -

A Conceptual Framework for Supererogation
(1972)In this thesis an attempt is made to provide a satisfactory account of supererogatory acts, i.e. those acts which are considered to be right to do and not wrong not to do, and are sometimes idiomatically referred to as ... -
CONCEPTUALIZING AND QUANTIFYING THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF BIOLOGICAL PRODUCTION SYSTEMS
(2014-04-01)Increasing the amount of food produced while simultaneously reducing the environmental impacts of agriculture is one of the most pressing challenges facing humanity. A promising approach through which this could be achieved ...
