In recent years there has been a marked increase in awareness of issues involving the
psychological well‐being of nonhuman primates (NHPs) used in biomedical research. As a result…

Many equations and correlations used in the design and optimization of fluidized unit operations
are based on the assumptions particles that interact only with each other are collisional. …

In the last decade several surveys of primate care and training programs highlight a common
theme; despite scientific evidence that animal training can be effective in reducing stress, …

Positive reinforcement training (PRT) has successfully been used to train diverse species to
execute behaviors helpful in the everyday care and wellbeing of the animals. Because little …

The pole-and-collar method is one of several techniques that enable the safe transfer of a
nonhuman primate from its home environment into a restraint chair without the need for …

Gas–solid fluidized beds are used in many industrial applications such as polyethylene
production, drying, coating, granulation, fluid catalytic cracking and fluid coking. For some …

Surface minable oil sands are a significant source of heavy oil (bitumen) production in
Canada. Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) provides a potential means to recover bitumen, a …

The injection of a gas−liquid spray jet into a fluidized bed of particles is used in many
applications such as fluid catalytic cracking or fluid coking. In such applications uniform contact of …

A new method has been developed to predict the horizontal jet penetration of gas-liquid
sprays injected into gas-solid fluidized beds. The technique involves combining a theoretical …

Fluid coking is a thermal conversion process that uses a conventional two-vessel circulating
fluidized bed to convert heavy hydrocarbon feeds to lighter products. The technology was …
