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...

Large articular cartilage defects have proven difficult to treat and often result in osteoarthritis of the affected joint. Cryopreservation of articular cartilage can provide an increased supply of tissues for osteochondral allograft but cryoprotective agents are required; however, few studies...

The speed of fuzzy controllers implemented on dedicated hardware is adequate for control of any physical process, but too slow for today’s high-complexity data networks. Defuzzification has been the bottleneck for fast implementations due to the large number of computationally expensive...

Design and Optimization of Decoders for Low-Denisty Parity Check Codes Synthesized from the OpenCL Specifications
DownloadFall 2016
Open Computing Language (OpenCL) is a high-level language that allows developers to produce portable software for heterogeneous parallel computing platforms. OpenCL is available for a variety of hardware platforms, with compiler support being recently expanded to include Field-Programmable Gate...

Design of FPGA-based Accelerators for Deflate Compression and Decompression using High-Level Synthesis
DownloadFall 2019
As the volumes of data that are transmitted over the internet continue to increase, data compression is becoming increasingly necessary in order to efficiently utilize fixed data storage space and bandwidth. The Deflate compression algorithm is one of the most widely used lossless data...

The area burned by forest fires in Canada has increased over the past four decades, at the same time as summer season temperatures have warmed. Here we use output from a coupled climate model to demonstrate that human emissions of greenhouse gases and sulfate aerosol have made a detectable...

Peat mineral soil mix has been the predominant cover soil used in Athabasca oil sands reclamation. Use of LFH mineral soil mix (forest litter layers and underlying mineral soil) has recently been mandated by regulatory approvals. Effectiveness of these cover soil types to provide diverse, native...

Re-establishment of appropriate vegetation communities is an important aspect of successful forest reclamation as they contribute to various ecosystem functions. In my research I explore how different coversoil materials (salvaged forest floor (FFM) and peat material), their placement depths, and...
