Year: 2015, 2015
Member of: Trent University Graduate Thesis Collection
Name(s): Creator (cre): Floros, Michael Christopher, Thesis advisor (ths): NARINE, SURESH S, Degree committee member (dgc): Rafferty, Steve, Degree committee member (dgc): Bolshan, Yuri, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>Vegetable oils represent an ideal and renewable feedstock for the synthesis of a variety of functional materials. However, without financial incentive or unique applications motivating a switch, commercial products continue to be manufactured from petrochemical resources. Two different families of high value, functional materials synthesized from vegetable oils were studied. These… more

Name(s): Creator (cre): Perera, Jayanayana Lakmali, Thesis advisor (ths): Wortis, Rachel, Degree committee member (dgc): Atkinson, Bill, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>Johri and Bhatt found singular behavior near the band edge in the density of states as well as in the inverse participation ratio of the Anderson model. These singularities mark a transition to an energy range dominated by resonant states. We study the interacting case using an ensemble of two-site Anderson-Hubbard systems. We find the ensemble-averaged density of states and generalized… more

Name(s): Creator (cre): Tessier, Michael, Thesis advisor (ths): NARINE, SURESH S, Degree committee member (dgc): Atkinson, Bill A, Degree committee member (dgc): Kaye, Matthew H, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>There is an increasing global need for grid scale electrical energy storage to handle the implementation of intermittent renewable energy sources. Adiabatic compressed air energy storage is an emerging technology with similar performance to pumped hydro except it has the issue of heat loss during the compression stage. Previously, it has been considered to use sensible heat storage… more
