Tiered Behaviour Architecture for Virtual Characters using Cyclic Scheduling and Behaviour Capture
DownloadSpring 2015
A story-based video game contains many characters. A few are controlled by the player and the majority are virtual characters, controlled by artificial intelligence. In recent years, video game artificial intelligence has developed slower than other aspects of video games, such as graphics,...

Coped beams are susceptible to fatigue cracking in the web at the cope radius when subjected to tension in the coped region. Use of an adhesively bonded composite patch over the crack can reduce the stress concentration and delay further crack growth. This report contains the results of a...

Characterization of sagittal plane calcaneal rotation and its relationship to the medial longitudinal arch during the midstance phase of gait.

Rearfoot motion during gait may influence athletic footwear choices and injury prevention, yet rearfoot motion during stance has not been fully characterized. Rearfoot pronation is typically used to categorize arch types into structural and functional groups, yet the amount of rearfoot plantar...

Personality has been documented in diverse taxa and growing attention is being directed towards the ecological implications of consistent variation in individual behaviour. These implications include the rise in habituation behaviour by wildlife living in human-disturbed areas, which has resulted...

The Kelvin-Helmholtz instability is the inertial destabilization of a parallel shear flow in a density stratified fluid under the influence of gravity. For example, this type of instability manifests itself as surface waves in the ocean when wind blows over the water surface. In this thesis we...

Broiler breeders require feed restriction to maintain high production rates of hatching eggs. However, feed restriction, conventionally managed during the rearing period through skip-a-day feeding, creates welfare concerns as broiler breeders exhibit behaviours indicative of hunger and...

The traditional approach to the study of consumer behaviour is to regard them as isolated islands of preferences, needs, motives, and goals; however, this approach neglects the impact of ‘others’ on consumers’ judgments and preferences. For this reason, the theme of this thesis is the ‘connected...

Adult Education to Help Reduce Child Sexual Abuse: Developing Novel Classroom and Online Approaches Designed to Change Knowledge, Attitudes, and Behaviours
DownloadFall 2016
Child sexual abuse (CSA) is common and individuals who experience CSA have higher rates of psychopathology and higher risk of medical, psychological, behavioural, and sexual disorders than those who have not been sexually abused. Adults who interact with children are in ideal positions to reduce...

Because of their high strength to weight ratio, stiffened steel plates are often used in light structures where plates are placed into compression. The stability of steel plates stiffened with longitudinal tee-shaped stiffeners and subjected to uniaxial compression or combined axial compression...
