title: DECEIVED INTO THE FISHING INDUSTRIES: CASE STUDIES OF TRAFFICKED CAMBODIAN WORKERS

description: This thesis examines the Cambodian seafarer’s experiences of trafficking in persons for the purpose of forced labor and exploitative working conditions on fishing vessels. It also investigates the victim identification procedures implemented by operational authorities, and documents victim reintegration programs supported by government and non-governmental organizations prior to and following repatriation for trafficked/exploited victims. Cambodian migrant workers are vulnerable to trafficking in persons as a result of irregular recruitment practices and lack of effective control, monitoring and punishment for trafficking and exploitation. The study has revealed the existence of trafficking for forced labor based on a set of checklist indicators put forward by the International Labor Organization (ILO) Special Action Programme to Combat Forced Labor (SAP-FL). Using case study analysis, the results of the research identify five strong indicators that can lead to forced labor: (1) threat of physical violence in forms of emotional torture via insult, abusive language or verbal threat, (2) impose restrictions of movement on workers, (3) debt bondage, (4) identification document retention, and (5) threat of denunciation to the authorities. In addition, the research found that due to inadequate identification procedures, the victims are being the re-victimized. Trafficked/exploited victims have psychological concerns of being arrested, detained and deported back to the home country for illegal entry which prevent them from informing the crime of trafficking in persons to competent authorities. Lastly, trafficked/exploited victims have not adequately received immediate assistance and reintegration services in the host countries as regulated by the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children. In actual implementation, Cambodian NGOs play a significant function to provide immediate support on arrival and reintegration planning for repatriated trafficked/exploited victims.

title: SEPARATION OF AMOXICILLIN FROM PHARMACEUTICAL WASTEWATER BY SYNERGISTIC EXTRACTION

description: The contamination of amoxicillin from pharmaceutical wastewater into aquatic environment adversely affects ecosystem as well as the increasing the treatment difficulty of bacterial infection in human. Hollow fiber supported liquid membrane (HFSLM) is a promising method for amoxicillin removal and recovery in a single unit. Based on the polyprotic property of amoxicillin, several extractants are selected to perform the reactive liquid-liquid extraction of amoxicillin including trioctylmethylammonium chloride (Aliquat 336), di-(2-ethylhexyl)-phosphoric acid (D2EHPA), tributyl phosphate (TBP), trioctylamine (Alamine 336) as well as the binary mixture of the mentioned extractant as means to achieve synergistic amoxicillin extraction. The results of the experiment indicated that the initial pH of amoxicillin solution should be adjusted to 10. The mixture of Aliquat 336 and TBP (AqT) prepared at the molar ratio of 10:2 provided the synergistic amoxicillin extraction with the maximum extraction percentage of 90.4 ± 0.39% while the optimal pH and concentrations of KCl stripping solution should be maintained at 5 and 6 mM, respectively. The obtained condition was subsequently applied to HFSLM, resulting in the steady state extraction and stripping percentages of 31.8% and 9.7%, respectively, when the flow rates of feed and stripping streams were 62.5 mL/min. Low magnitudes of extraction and stripping percentages were likely related to short contact time.

title: EXERGY ANALYSIS OF SORPTION ENHANCED CHEMICAL LOOPING REFORMING PROCESS FOR HYDROGEN PRODUCTION FROM GLYCEROL

description: This research presents a study on the sorption enhanced-chemical looping reforming process (SECLR) for hydrogen production from glycerol. A thermodynamic approach is used to evaluate the effect of operating parameters on the SECLR process in terms of the hydrogen production and carbon formation. Optimal operating condition is identified at a self-sufficient condition where external heat input is unnecessary. The simulation results show that the yield and purity of hydrogen can be enhanced by carbon dioxide sorption and steam addition. Furthermore, the excess of calcium oxide (CaO) sorbent and steam can inhibit a carbon formation in the SECLR process. A higher hydrogen yield can be obtained at high temperatures and low nickel oxide (NiO)/glycerol molar ratio. When increasing reforming temperatures and reducing NiO/G molar ratios, more energy is also required. At the self-sufficient condition with the highest hydrogen production yield, the process should be operated at the reforming temperature of 580 oC and atmospheric pressure, steam/glycerol molar ratio of 3.2, CaO/glycerol molar ratio of 3 and NiO/glycerol molar ratio of 1.84. Under these conditions, the hydrogen production yield of 4.92 (mol H2/mol glycerol) is obtained. To further improve the process performance, a pinch analysis is performed to design a heat exchanger network. The designed SECLR process is also investigated by performing energy and exergy analyses. The thermal and exergy efficiency of the SECLR process are compared with a conventional process for hydrogen production from glycerol. The result indicates that 79.8% of the energy fed to the process is recovered as the useful product of hydrogen and the exergy efficiency of the process is 75.1%. In comparison with the conventional reforming process, the SECLR process provides higher thermal and exergy efficiency than the steam reforming and auto-thermal reforming of glycerol.

title: PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT OF SOLID OXIDE ELECTROLYSIS CELLSYSTEM INTEGRATED PARTIAL OXIDATION

description: Solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) is a hydrogen production technology based on an electrochemical principle. In order to reduce an electrical energy demand, a thermal energy can be applied to the SOEC for separating steam into hydrogen and oxygen. Partial oxidation reaction (POX) is an exothermic reaction that can produce high thermal energy. Thus, the SOEC integrated with the POX process would lead to an improved, high efficient process to produce hydrogen energy. In this study, modeling of the SOEC and POX integrated process is performed. Effect of operating parameters in the POX process, i.e., oxygen to carbon ratio, operating temperature and pressure, on the SOEC performance is studied. The simulation results show that the efficiency of the SOEC can be improved from 69.65% to 84.97% when it is integrated with the POX process run at the oxygen to carbon ratio of 0.645, temperature of 1373 K and pressure of 5 atm. Energy and exergy analyses of the proposed process are carried out with respect to changes in key operating parameters. The results indicate that the POX reactor is the unit having the highest exergy destruction.

title: DYE-SENSITIZED SOLAR CELLS WITH TiO2 ELECTRODE MODIFIED BY La2O3, Er2O3 or AgO

description: In this research, we modified TiO2 electrode of a dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) by adding the second metal oxide, namely lanthanum oxide (La2O3), erbium oxide (Er2O3) and silver oxide (AgO). Moreover, we also investigated the addition of light scattering layer in the electrode by employing double layered structure. TiO2-based mixed oxides were synthesized via sol-gel methods. The mixed oxide sols were then coated on a conducting transparent glass as thin film using an ultrasonic spray coater. Finally, the thin film electrode was fired 400°C for 2 h. The amount of La2O3, Er2O3 or AgO added to TiO2 was varied from 0 to 7 %wt. The photovoltaic conversion efficiency of pure TiO2 electrode was 3.51±0.20%, as measured by an IV-tester under standard condition (AM = 1.5). When La2O3 or Er2O3 was added, the amount of dye adsorbed on the electrode increased due to larger specific surface area of the electrode. As a result, the short circuit current density (Jsc) and open circuit voltage (Voc) definitely increased in both cases. The addition of La2O3 and Er2O3 raised the cell efficiency to 5.06±0.36% with 5 wt% La2O3/TiO2 and 4.37±0.30% with 3 wt% Er2O­3/TiO2. On the contrary, the power conversion efficiency was significantly lower with AgO-TiO2 electrode. Employing the double-layered structure with pure TiO2 as under-layer and 5%wt La2O3/TiO2 as over-layer enhanced the cell efficiency from 5.06±0.36% to 7.72±0.47% compared to the single-layered La2O3-TiO2 electrode. This can be attributed to light scattering effect, which increased the reflection of light back into the cell.

title: PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF COMBINED PROCESS OF CHARCOAL GASIFICATION AND REFORMER OPERATED WITH RECYCLED CO2

description: Using syngas as fossil fuel offers the benefit in term of suppress consumption of petroleum fuel. Gasification and reforming process can be used for syngas production. This work investigated the combined of gasifier and reformer process of charcoal with recycled CO2. The investigation was carried on both simulation and experimental. The simulation results show that carbon conversion depended on operating temperature. The effect of O2 in feed stream offered more heat obtained from process which optimum at O2/B = 0.2. At higher S/B in feed stream led to more H2 in syngas product. And the effect of CO2/B feed ratio affect on both of CO2 emr and syngas ratio. For feed ratio O2/S/CO2/B = 0.2/1/1/1 offered the highest Cold Gas Efficiency (CGE) of 0.742. From experimental study, the operating temperature of 800 ºC was observed for the highest carbon conversion. For the effect of Ni/SiO2 catalysts, increasing Ni% loading offered more product gas due to the reforming reaction of gas product. Varying of O2/S/CO2/B feed ratio showed in similar trend of product gas mole fraction to the simulation result. For condition of CO2/B ratio = 0, provided the highest for syngas yield. However, using CO2 was beneficial in reducing GHG emissions and adjusting syngas ratio.

title: Glass sponge grounds on the Scotian Shelf and their associated biodiversity

description: Emerald Basin on the Scotia Shelf off Nova Scotia, Canada, is home to a globally unique population of the glass sponge Vazella pourtalesi. Through the analysis of both in situ photographs and trawl catch data from annual multispecies bottom-trawl surveys, we examined community composition, species density, and abundance of epibenthos and fish associated with V. pourtalesi compared to locations without this sponge. Using generalized linear models and analysis of similarities, the importance of V. pourtalesi in enhancing species density and abundance of the associated epibenthic community was assessed against that of the hard substrate on which it settles. Our results indicated that the megafaunal assemblage associated with V. pourtalesi was significantly different in composition and higher in species density and abundance compared to locations without V. pourtalesi. Analysis of similarity of trawl catch data indicated that fish communities associated with the sponge grounds are significantly different from those without V. pourtalesi, although no species were found exclusively on the sponge grounds. Our study provides further evidence of the role played by sponge grounds in shaping community structure and biodiversity of associated deep-sea epibenthic and fish communities. The mechanism for biodiversity enhancement within the sponge grounds formed by V. pourtalesi is likely the combined effect of both the sponge itself and its attachment substrate, which together comprise the habitat of the sponge grounds. We also discuss the role of habitat provision between the mixed-species tetractinellid sponges of the Flemish Cap and the monospecific glass sponge grounds of Emerald Basin.

title: Data set for: Identification of Sindhi cows that are susceptible or resistant to Haematobia irritans

description: The objective was to identify horn fly-susceptible and horn fly-resistant animals in a Sindhi herd by two different methods. The number of horn flies on 25 adult cows from a Sindhi herd was counted every 14 days. As it was an open herd, the trial period was divided into three stages based on cow composition, with the same cows maintained within each period: 2011-2012 (36 biweekly observations); 2012-2013 (26 biweekly observations); and 2013-2014 (22 biweekly observations). Only ten cows were present in the herd throughout the entire period from 2011-2014 (84 biweekly observations). The variables evaluated were the number of horn flies on the cows, the sampling date and a binary variable for rainy or dry season. Descriptive statistics were calculated, including the median, the interquartile range, and the minimum and maximum number of horn flies, for each observation day. For the present analysis, fly-susceptible cows were identified as those for which the infestation of flies appeared in the upper quartile for more than 50% of the weeks and in the lower quartile for less than 20% of the weeks. In contrast, fly-resistant cows were defined as those for which the fly counts appeared in the lower quartile for more than 50% of the weeks and in the upper quartile for less than 20% of the weeks. To identify resistant and susceptible cows for the best linear unbiased predictions analysis, three repeated measures linear mixed models (one for each period) were constructed with cow as a random effect intercept. The response variable was the log ten transformed counts of horn flies per cow, and the explanatory variable were the observation date and season. As the trail took place in a semiarid region with two seasons well stablished the season was evaluated monthly as a binary outcome, considering a rainy season if it rained more or equal than 50mm or dry season if the rain was less than 50mm. The Standardized residuals and the BLUPs of the random effects were obtained and assessed for normality, heteroscedasticity and outlying observations. Each cow’s BLUPs were plotted against the average quantile rank values that were determined as the difference between the number of weeks in the high-risk quartile group and the number of weeks in the low risk quartile group, averaged by the total number of weeks in each of the observation periods. A linear model fit for the values of BLUPS against the average rank values and the correlation between the two methods was tested using Spearman’s correlation coefficient. The animal effect values (BLUPs) were evaluated by percentiles, with 0 representing the lowest counts (or more resistant cows) and 10 representing the highest counts (or more susceptible cows). These BLUPs represented only the effect of cow and not the effect of day, season or other unmeasured counfounders.
