Achieving a better understanding of outdoor recreation conflict and its management in Canada's national parks
DownloadSpring 2012
Outdoor recreation conflict has been defined as “…goal interference attributed to another’s behavior” (Jacob & Schreyer, 1980, p. 369). Although previous leisure research has stressed the relevance of emotions (e.g., Hull, Stewart, & Yi, 1992), it has only been within the past decade that an...

A Study of the Utility of a Machine-Learning Approach Applied to the Prediction of Site Occupancy and New Members of the Half-Heusler Family
DownloadFall 2019
Predicting the formation and structures of non-molecular inorganic compounds has long been a fundamental goal in solid state chemistry. In this thesis, machine learning approaches have been applied to confront this challenge, focusing in particular on the large family of half-Heusler compounds...

This thesis concentrates on the construction of directional tensor product complex tight framelets. It uses a complex tight framelet filter bank in one dimension and the tensor product of the one-dimensional filter bank to obtain high-dimensional filter bank. It has a number of advantages over...

Improved Probabilistic Representation of Facies through Developments in Geostatistical Practice
DownloadFall 2015
Reservoir management requires high resolution numerical geologic models of facies and petrophysical properties. Facies are arguably the most important reservoir heterogeneity. Many geostatistical facies modeling techniques have been proposed during the years of heavily practiced geostatistics in...
