Solving the LP Relaxation of Distance-Constrained Vehicle Routing Problem Using Column Generation
DownloadFall 2020
The distance-constrained vehicle routing problem (DVRP) is one of the less studied variants of vehicle routing problems. Here, the objective is to deliver packages from a depot to clients with as few delivery vehicles as possible within a given time frame. In this thesis, we tackle larger...

Multi-Objective Optimization for Reinforcement Detailing Design and Work Planning on a Reinforced Concrete Slab Case
DownloadFall 2018
Reinforced steel rebar is fabricated in the form of one-dimensional stocks, designed according to structural engineering code, and installed in various structural components. Cutting one-dimensional stocks to fit to project-specific requirements results in cutting losses, which is the major...

Umbrella Review of Psychosocial Interventions Mediated through Assistive Technology for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
DownloadFall 2017
Aim: In the past 20 years, a large body of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) intervention research has emerged. In addition, the number of systematic reviews (SRs) aimed at synthesizing that body of research has grown substantially. The present umbrella review collates information from multiple...

Identifying seasonal Lake Sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens) movement patterns and habitat selection in the South Saskatchewan River Basin
DownloadFall 2016
Lake Sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens Rafinesque 1817) have experienced population declines throughout their range. In Alberta, low density age-class distributions, irregular recruitment, critically low spawning potential ratios and other factors led to a 2007 designation of “Threatened” for this...

The vision of realizing Internet of Things (IoT) pervasively connecting large number of sensors and devices that can sense and communicate is particularly attractive in today's world offering a wide range of applications. The scaling of wireless sensor network to thousands or millions of nodes is...
