Conservation of forest-dwelling arthropod species: simultaneous management of many small and heterogeneous risks
Download2008
Volney, W.J.A., Langor, D. W., Jacobs, J. M., Work, T. T., Spence, J. R.
The Canadian insect fauna is too inadequately Understood to support well-informed assessments about its conservation status: however, the foregoing collection of synthetic papers illustrates potential threats front industrial forestry. Loss of forest species and dramatic changes in forest insect...

Coordination and Optimization of Power Distribution Systems with Stochastic Distributed Energy Resources using Artificial Intelligence
DownloadSpring 2021
High levels of penetration of distributed photovoltaic generators can cause serious overvoltage issues, especially during periods of high power generation and light loads. It is of vital importance to gain more understanding of the system and to prepare mitigation plans before the number of PV...

Fall 2023
A new microprocessor within a given processor architecture may introduce performance-improving features that either can only be accessed through novel instructions or require new code-generation techniques to be beneficial. In response, compilers must be extended/improved to make use of these new...

Decision Support System for Crane Selection and Location Optimization on Construction Sites
DownloadFall 2013
Selecting the most appropriate cranes and identifying ideal crane locations on site can improve the productivity and safety of large-scale construction projects. A significant proportion of crane accidents have been caused by improper crane selection, lack of a proper crane support system, or a...

Detection of Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli Using Loop Mediated Isothermal Amplification
DownloadFall 2013
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is a worldwide health concern. To detect STEC, a loop mediated isothermal amplification reaction (LAMP) was optimized to detect shiga toxin genes. LAMP’s performance was compared to conventional and real-time (RT) PCR using two product detection...
