Bubble chambers using fluorocarbons or noble liquids gases are promising tools for detecting low-energy nuclear recoils caused by the elastic scattering of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs), a type of dark matter. These chambers comprise a vessel filled with a superheated liquid, which...

The Ripley Landslide is one of the smallest among the 12 landslides at the Ashcroft-Thompson River Valley, located approximately 10 km south of Ashcroft, B.C. Since it was first identified in 1951, it has been studied by numerous researchers to understand the kinematics controlling its behaviour....

Assessing The Benefits Of Cost-Effective Monitoring Technology On Unstable Slopes Sensitive To Weather
DownloadFall 2021
Across Canada, the presence of ground hazards, such as rock falls, rock slides, or earth slides, next to transportation corridors, is a potential risk to transport system users, the infrastructure, and traffic operations. Monitoring instrumentation systems tracking unstable slopes are a key...

Automatically Detecting Affect in Computer-based Learning Environments: A Systematic Literature Review
DownloadSpring 2023
Affect detection is increasingly viewed as an essential component of computer-based learning systems because it aims to improve learner outcomes by adapting to the learner’s affect. However, most computer-based learning environments used across formal and informal educational contexts do not...

High aspect ratio microelectromechanical structures have been found, in the literature, to collapse due to capillary forces of liquids. In this dissertation, mathematical models are developed to study (i) the collapse of a microstructure represented by a double cantilevered beam (DCB) with a free...

Data-Driven Analysis and Design of Vulkan Ray-Tracing Applications using Automatic Instrumentation
DownloadFall 2021
Modern graphics Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) provide first-class support for ray tracing. Hardware vendors implement drivers for the graphics API including a black-box compiler. The black-box compiler creates architecture-specific binaries that leverage ray-tracing hardware...
