Stocks vs. Flows: Second-Best Incentive Design for Stock-Generated Externalities
Conventional wisdom states that incentives targeting stocks and flows can lead to equivalent externalities correction. However, this may not hold when externalities are directly produced from stocks of capital ("stock-generated externalities") rat...

Numerical simulations of solid suspensions in a gravity thickener
Abstract
Reducing the overall water and energy consumptions in deep mines is a necessity in moving toward a more sustainable mining industry. Underground water treatment is a key requirement to achieve this goal. This study numerically investigat...

Extracting cold energy from back-filled zones to pre-freeze new mining zones in Canadian uranium mines: Numerical modeling and experimental validation
Abstract
Athabasca basin in northern Saskatchewan is the home to high-grade uranium ores – known as the Saudi Arabia of the uranium world. McArthur River and Cigar Lake mines are two underground mines located in the Athabasca basin in northern S...

Development of conjugate reduced-order models for selective artificial ground freezing: Thermal and computational analysis
Abstract
Selective artificial ground freezing (S-AGF) applications usually extend to very deep levels (more than 400 meters); numerical modeling of such large AGF applications encounters two main issues: (i) Predicting the variable heat extractio...

Implication of coughing dynamics on safe social distancing in an indoor environment—A numerical perspective
Abstract
Coughing is a primary symptomatic pathway of respiratory or air-borne disease transmission, including COVID-19. Several parameters such as cougher’s age, gender, and posture affect particle dispersion indoors. This study numerically inve...
