The need for specialized software, particularly for repetitive construction is growing. Although simulation has been accepted in the research world, the industry has been slow to follow. The goal of this research is the development of a special purpose template for linear scheduling that is...

Genuis, Shelagh K.

While evidence-based practice and knowledge translation (or transfer) has garnered much attention, research has not focused on health information as provisional and emergent, and on knowledge translation (KT) as a process of social construction. The challenge of evolving information is magnified...

Reinforcement learning (RL) has shown great success in solving many challenging tasks via the use of deep neural networks. Although the use of deep learning for RL brings immense representational power to the arsenal, it also causes sample inefficiency. This means that the algorithms are...

Uncertainty in resource estimation affects long-term development, planning, and investment decisions. Therefore, there is a need to make the best decisions considering all available data and different modeling approaches. This thesis develops a conceptual framework for resource modeling with...

Improved numerical reservoir models are constructed when all available diverse data sources are accounted for to the maximum extent possible. Integrating various diverse data is not a simple problem because data show different precision and relevance to the primary variables being modeled,...

Canada has the third largest oil reserves in the world where 97% of these reserves are located in the oil sands, Alberta province. The product resulted from the extraction of oil sands reserves is called bitumen which can be diluted and shipped to the market or it can be proceeded and upgraded...

Often referred to as North America’s bird nursery, the boreal forest biome provides a productive environment for breeding birds, supporting high species diversity and bird numbers. These birds are likely to shift their distributions northward in response to rapid climate change over the next...

A reliable estimate of the amount of oil or gas in a reservoir is required for development decisions. Uncertainty in reserve estimates affects resource/reserve classification, investment decisions, and development decisions. There is a need to make the best decisions with an appropriate level...

Computation methods based on the Wiener chaos expansion have been developed to study the behaviors of the aeroelastic system with randomparameters. It is proven that the discrete wavelet transformation is one ofthe most accurate and efficient numerical schemes for this uncertainty...

Bleeding during pregnancy affects as many as one in four pregnancies with roughly half of these resulting in pregnancy loss. An interpretive descriptive design was employed to explore the research question: “How do women with bleeding in early pregnancy describe their experience of waiting in the...
