Unconventional oil (mainly heavy oil, extra heavy oil and bitumen) represents a significant share of global oil reserves. Due to their high viscosity, efficient recovery of oil from these reserves is challenging and remains an issue of ongoing global research. Thermal recovery methods are...

As the construction industry is prone to various hazards, its rate of injuries and fatalities are among the highest. As a result, health and safety has emerged as a crucial aspect of any construction project. Among occupational injuries, Work-related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WMSDs) are reported...

Physical simulations are in general very computationally intensive and required large and costly computing resources. Most of those simulations are rarely interactive as the link between visualization, interaction, and simulation is too slow. The recent development of parallel Graphic Processing...

Hamilton, Matthew J.

This thesis considers the problem of visualizing simulations of phenomenon which span large ranges of spatial scales. These datasets tend to be extremely large presenting challenges both to human comprehension and high-performance computing. The main problems considered are how to effectively...

The present study examined the implementation of a self-management strategy, termed the calm carrel, as a potential means of bringing about behavioural improvement (as reflected, primarily, in global behavioural ratings, extent of isolation time-out assignments, and student and teacher feedback)...
