Foraging-predator avoidance trade-offs made by migrant and resident elk (Cervus elaphus) on their sympatric winter range
DownloadFall 2009
Migratory behaviour of the Ya Ha Tinda (YHT) elk population is diminishing while the number of residents remaining on the YHT winter range year-round is increasing. Previous research addressing the fitness consequences of each migratory strategy assumed there was no advantage to either segment...

Forest Succession and Nutritional Carrying Capacity of Elk since the 1980 Eruption of Mount St. Helens
DownloadFall 2016
There has been increasing concern over declines in habitat quality for elk (Cervus elaphus) on industrial timber lands west of Mount St. Helens due to canopy closure and the loss of nutritional resources related to succession of early seral stands created by the 1980 eruption. Vegetative...

Non-Player Character (NPC) behaviors in today’s computer games are mostly generated from manually written scripts. The high cost of manually creating complex behaviors for each NPC to exhibit intelligence in response to every situation in the game results in NPCs with repetitive and artificial...

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death globally, causing nearly 17.9 million deaths per year. Early detection and treatment are critical for improving this situation. Today's wearable medical devices are becoming popular because of their price and ease of use. Many manufacturers...

High School Physics Students’, High School Physics Teachers’, and University Physics Professors’ Conceptions about What it Means to Understand Physics: A Phenomenographic Study
DownloadSpring 2021
There is limited literature about what it means to understand physics. Previous research has focused on university physics students’ understanding of physics concepts, but no research to date has examined variations across populations of what it means to understand physics. This study begins to...

Collisions of motorized transport with wildlife impact a wide range of species and can cause injuries and economic losses to people. On roads, vehicle collisions with animals have been studied extensively, resulting in mitigation measures that reduce collisions by segregating animals and...

Landscape Ecology of Mule Deer (Odocoileus hemionus) and White-tailed Deer (O. virginianus) with Implications for Chronic Wasting Disease
DownloadFall 2012
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal prion disease of cervids that continues to spread into new regions of Canada despite containment efforts. I examine the importance of landscape connectivity using circuit theory and source/sink habitats that are based on selection, survival and...

Machine learning has been used to solve single-agent search problems. One of its applications is to guide search algorithms by learning heuristics. However, it is difficult to provide guarantees on the quality of learning from a neural network, since the resulting heuristics can be inadmissible,...

Coach learning is a key component for developing quality coaches. While researchers have identified many ways that coaches learn, there is little agreement as to how coaches learn best. As a way of examining these discrepancies found in the research, this study’s aim was to explore how Canadian...

Learning in simulation: theorizing Ricoeur in a study involving paramedics, pilots, and others
DownloadFall 2010
The use of simulation is becoming increasingly important in the education of practitioners whose field of work contains a low tolerance for error. In aerospace, aviation, medicine, paramedicine, and the military, simulations are expected to provide working practitioners with “on demand”...
