Enhancing space modeling and mobile resources planning in construction operations through a simulation driven visualization framework
DownloadFall 2011
Simulation modeling is a strong tool that has not been utilized to its expected potential in day to day construction industry activities. One of the reasons contributing to that is the inability of simulation models to depict changes in site space in an intuitive way. This research tries to...

Implementation and Evaluation of Spatiotemporal Prediction Algorithms and Prediction of Spatially Distributed Greenhouse Gas Inventories
DownloadFall 2011
Growing environmental concerns require monitoring and modelling of greenhouse gases. These modelling efforts require processing of massive datasets in a timely fashion. This, in turn, can lead to feasibility problems when estimating values of missing data points. This thesis examines and compares...

Evaluating the process performance of mining and petroleum operations requires numerical geological models of many related rock properties or variables. Taken together, they provide a characterization of the geologic deposit that forms the basis for engineering design and decision making. Complex...

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....

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...
