ABSTRACT:  Chemical engineering models may have many reactions, many kinetic parameters, and many mass transfer and thermodynamic constants. Consequently, models that can fully describe a chemical engineering process are usually nonlinear and complex and have many unknown parameters. Additionally, chemical engineering models are not perfect and there are random disturbances from the environment that should be estimated.

ABSTRACT:  Oil sands are a strategic resource for Canada, but despite technological advances in extraction techniques, the treatment of tailing ponds resulting from bitumen extraction is plagued by many environmental challenges. The crucial technical challenge is to separate bitumen from the sand and clay particles, then flocculate or stack the clay particles to release water that can be recycled to the bitumen extraction process. The clays can then be placed in the mine, giving rapid reclamation without forming tailing ponds that may take decades to be reclaimed.

Overview

In this mini workshop I explain what you need to know to write and effective scientific paper, simplify the review process, and expedite the acceptance of your paper. I will discuss the scientific elements you should include, the writing style you should follow, and the formatting you should adopt to compose an excellent article. I will also explain the reviewing and publication process followed by most journals.

Intended Audience

ABSTRACT:  Deer constitutes an important animal in traditional Chinese medicine and most deer organs are used as medicines or nourishment in traditional Chinese medicine. The most valuable portion of deer is the antler. With the development of deer breeding in northeast China, many other deer organs are now harvested after the antler is collected. Deer protein is the valuable source for producing bioactive peptides, which have been defined as specific protein fragments that have a positive impact on health.
