Development of Integrated Regional Climate Modeling Methodologies for Impact Assessment
(Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research, University of Regina, 2020-07)Climate change has been one of the most prominent and critical environmental concerns due to its potential impacts. Climate change projections, as generated through global climate models (GCMs), have been widely employed ... -
Screening Potential Liquid Solvents for Carbon Dioxide Capture
(Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research, University of Regina, 2020-08)The objective of this thesis is to study some aspects of developing potential liquid solvents that will facilitate large-scale CO2 removal from natural gas and flue gases streams. Experimental measurements to screen potential ... -
Advances in Representation and Learning of Temporal Event Sequences
(Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research, University of Regina, 2020-08)This thesis focuses on representation and learning of two types of temporal event sequences. The first type is a sequence of interval-based events, called an e-sequence, where every event can have a duration, and the ... -

Age Differences in Pain Responses
(Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research, University of Regina, 2020-07)One in five Canadians report experiencing chronic pain, which is associated with numerous negative psychological and physical consequences (Schopflocher et al., 2011). Older adults are more likely to experience pain than ... -
Assessment of the Spatial and Temporal Hydroclimatic Variability of the Canadian Prairie Provinces
(Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research, University of Regina, 2020-09)Natural climatic variability, changing climatic conditions, periodic droughts, and excessive moisture events impact agriculture, industry, municipalities, and surface water resource management throughout the Canadian ... -
Membrane Surface Functionalization Through Nanomaterials for Wastewater Treatment
(Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research, University of Regina, 2020-09)Water shortage is a global challenge with growing concern due to population growth, economic development, environmental pollution, and climate change. Membrane-based filtration technology has been regarded as one of the ... -
Experimental and Modelign of Foam Physics in Porous Media
(Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research, University of Regina, 2021-01)Foam is a dispersion of gas in a liquid, where the liquid is continuous and part of the gas is made discontinuous by thin liquid films (lamellae) (Hirasaki and Lawson, 1985). Foam promises to substantially improve reservoir ... -

Quasi-Pure E0-Semigroups
(Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research, University of Regina, 2021-03)We introduce the class of quasi-pure E0-semigroups acting on a von Neumann algebra as that with equal tail and fixed-point algebras and we describe these notable algebras for E0-semigroups of B(H) where H is a separable ... -
Understory Composition, Seedling Growth, and Snag Frequency Across a Water-Limited Forest Landscape
(Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research, University of Regina, 2020-10)Global change is expected to increase drought intensity and make precipitation more uncertain. These changes can affect forest plant communities directly by altering demographic rates, and indirectly through interspecific ... -
