A Mixed Integer Linear Programming Optimization Model for Capturing Expert Planning Style in Interstitial Low Dose Rate Prostate Brachytherapy
DownloadSpring 2017
Low dose rate (LDR) brachytherapy is a minimally invasive form of radiation therapy, used to treat prostate cancer, and it involves permanent implantation of radioactive sources (seeds) inside of the prostate gland. Treatment planning in brachytherapy involves a decision making process for the...

A real options-net present value approach to assessing land use change: A case study of afforestation in Canada
Download2015
Yemshanov, Denys , Luckert, M.K. (Marty) , Hauer, Grant , Unterschultz, Jim , McKenney, Daniel W., McCarney, Geoffrey R.
Geographically explicit land use change models based on net present value have been criticized for not reflecting the breadth of economic considerations relevant to private land use decisions. An alternative approach is to econometrically estimate land allocations from historical transactions,...

A simulation/optimization system for modelling timber and old forest under stochastic fire disturbance
DownloadSpring 2011
Stochastic wildfire disturbance contributes to uncertainty in forest management planning. In this study, a system composed of an optimizing forest estate model nested within a Monte Carlo simulation model of stand replacing fires is used to investigate the impact stochastic fire may have on the...

Spring 2012
Climate change is expected to drive major changes in agricultural production around the world, but estimates of the economic impact of these changes for Canadian agricultural production have been inconsistent. Most models use aggregate temperature data such as average temperature or growing...

Spring 2010
Land use and land use change strongly influence the carbon (C) dynamics within ecosystems. This study quantified four aspects of land use and land use change effects: 1) ecosystem C stocks and distribution; 2) soil respiration; 3) soil C mineralization; and 4) net ecosystem productivity. Land use...

Direct and indirect drivers of plant diversity responses to climate and clipping across northern temperate grassland
Download2014
Bork, E. W., White, S. R., Cahill Jr, J. F.
It is well known that climate can influence plant community assembly via a multitude of indirect and direct pathways. However, interpretations of plant diversity responses to simulated climate change experiments, and subsequent predictions of plant communities under future climate scenarios,...

Dosimetry and Biological Studies for Microbeam Radiation Therapy at the Canadian Light Source
DownloadFall 2015
Microbeam radiation therapy (MRT) is a pre-clinical type of radiation therapy that uses an array of high-dose microbeams to treat solid tumours. An intense, quasi-parallel synchrotron beam is collimated to create microbeams several 10s of μm wide, and separated by 100s of μm. Animal studies...
