Simplifying D-Separation and M-Separation in Bayesian Networks
(Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research, University of Regina, 2016-07)
Many di erent platforms, techniques, and concepts can be employed while modeling
and reasoning with Bayesian networks (BNs). A problem domain is modeled initially
as a directed acyclic graph (DAG), denoted B, and the ...
Modeling, Simulation and Experimental Validation of a New Rigorous Desorber Model for Low Temperature Catalytic Desorption of CO2-Loaded Amine Solvents over Solid Acid Catalysts
(Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research, University of Regina, 2016-12)
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) have gained tremendous attention amongst policy makers, researchers and engineers in response to the increasing fears for climate change which is caused by increased amounts of greenhouse ...
Study of Phase Behaviours of Reservoir Fluids with Consideration of Adsorption and Capillary Pressure
(Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research, University of Regina, 2016-08)
With the development of petroleum science and technology, a systematic understanding of the fundamental phase behaviours of petroleum fluids in bulk volume has been well established. However, the effect of porous media on ...
Assessing Pre-Frontal Cortex Oxygenation After Sport Concussion With Near Infrared Spectroscopy
(Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research, University of Regina, 2016-07)
Clinicians typically rely on neuropsychological and balance tests to track concussion recovery. These balance and neuropsychological tests only imply impairments that are based on performance – the tests do not directly ...
The Therapeutic Benefit of Expressive Writing for Posttraumatic Symptoms: A Ramdomized Controlled Trial of Emotional Moderators and Writing Modality
(Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research, University of Regina, 2016-06)
Expressive writing is a therapeutic intervention requiring individuals to write about
distressing events and their emotional responses to these experiences (Pennebaker &
Beall, 1986). The use of expressive writing has ...
Predictability of Carbon Dioxide and Ethane Solubility in Ionic Liquids: A Simulation Approach
(Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research, University of Regina, 2016-10)
Capturing greenhouse gases using solvents is considered an efficient solution to address climate change and surging anthropogenic activity. In an attempt to find efficient solvents and avoid high experimental costs, ...
