Novel treatment and value-added utilization of oily sludge using ionic liquid and pyrolysis
The effective treatment of oily sludge has been a challenging problem faced by the petroleum industry worldwide. It is a semi-solid mixture of hydrocarbons, water, metallic ions, and suspended fine solids. The recalcitrant nature of oily sludge…

Resource acquisition and allocation in mountain bluebirds (Sialia currucoides)
Digital Document
Resource acquisition and allocation in mountain bluebirds (Sialia currucoides)
The strategic allocation of resources to maximize fitness is the organizing principle shaping the evolution of life histories. The physiology and behaviour of animals is a manifestation of trade-offs in resource allocation among traits and…

Improved understanding of methane emissions from oil and gas industries of western Canada using aircraft and satellite data, and GEOS-Chem modeling
The three western Canadian provinces (British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan) are responsible for more than 90 % of the 2017 national total fugitive methane (CH4) emissions from the oil and gas sector. Several survey-based previous studies…
