Evolving Professional Identity: Exploring How Pharmacists Make Sense of their Prescribing Role
DownloadSpring 2018
Dramatic changes in the pharmacy profession have occurred in the past century. Many of these occurred as the primary focus of the pharmacist transitioned from drug products to providing patient care services. Prescribing by pharmacists gained momentum when it was implemented in the United Kingdom...

The objective of this study was to explore information and its function in fiction reading for leisure through the perceptions and experiences of adult readers. I used a phenomenographic approach to look for qualitative differences in experiences and understandings in order describe the...

A challenge in petroleum geostatistics is the application of modeling algorithms such as Gaussian simulation to unstructured grids that are being used for flow simulation. Geostatistical modeling is typically applied on a fine scale regular grid and then upscaled to the unstructured grid. This...

Information hippies, Google-fu masters, and other volunteer tourists in Thailand: information behaviour in the liminoid
DownloadSpring 2010
Using social positioning theory and the concept of the liminoid, the objectives of this qualitative research project were three-fold: 1) investigate how social positioning affects the information behaviour of volunteer tourists; 2) determine what effects cultural confusion (aka “culture shock”),...

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...

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...

Motivation and the information behaviours of online learning students: the case of a professionally-oriented, graduate program
DownloadFall 2010
Online learning is a wonderful opportunity for students who cannot attend classes at conventional times and places to further their education. However, to some extent, accessing and sharing information is often quite different and potentially more difficult for this particular group (e.g., they...

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,...
