Spring 2014
This thesis focuses on the power allocation during the channel training process for three cooperative relay networks: a one-way single-relay network, a one-way multi-relay network and a two-way single-relay network. For these three networks, under the amplify-and-forward (AF) scheme, we...

Predictive Control, Estimation and Sensor Placement of Large-Scale Transport-Reaction Systems
DownloadFall 2023
Advanced process control and monitoring rely on the accurate description of complex processes and their dynamic behaviors. Typically, numerous industrial processes are characterized by either partial differential equations (PDEs) or ordinary differential equations (ODEs), depending on whether...

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...

Residential construction manufacturing estimating framework: the case of lightweight timber framing
DownloadFall 2020
The term industrialized construction was adopted by the offsite construction industry where the building components are prefabricated in factories and then transported to the construction site for on-site assembly. With this shift towards industrialized construction, new challenges were...

Spatial analysis to locate new clinics for diabetic kidney patients in the underserved communities in Alberta
DownloadFall 2012
Background: Canadians often live far from health care facilities, which may compromise their care. However, no objective method exists for selecting new facilities from potential locations. We used a new method for selecting optimum clinic locations and characterized remote-dwellers clinically....

Multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) system, due to its large channel capacity and high reliability, has been widely studied in numerous existing work. It has a lot of applications in reality, e.g., 3GPP and LTE standards. These advantages owes to the understanding of the MIMO channel, which shows the...

The role of geometric and non-geometric environmental cues in reorientation: Pigeons’ and humans’ use of relative wall lengths, angular information, and features
DownloadFall 2012
The purpose of the following studies was to explore how humans and pigeons encode and use the geometric and featural information of their environments to orient and navigate. Chapters 1 and 2 examine the use of angular amplitude and relative wall length information in parallelogram-shaped...
