In the current construction industry, simulation is an effective technology that can assist engineers’ decision making on project planning and estimation. The key contribution of simulation is to model uncertainty and risk occurrence during the construction process; however, this method still lacks
a quantitative method to determine how much risk the decision maker is willing to accept. This thesis aims to develop an approach that can assist decision making on what percentile from a cumulative distribution function (CDF) of project cost reflects the organization’s risk appetite and overall
acceptance of risk. In order to enhance this quantitative risk analysis, a special purpose template was re-developed in Simphony.Net, based on program evaluation and review technique (PERT). This template provides an integrated cost/schedule model, and transforms the model to simulation-based planning, in

Negotiating identities: A narrative inquiry into the experiences of people living with HIV in Kenya.
DownloadFall 2015
complexities in Solomon’s experiences as a PHA, I embarked on a journey to Canada to pursue doctoral studies in nursing. This followed an invitation by Dr. Judy Mill and Dr. Vera Caine to join a national CIHR-funded project called A Clinical Mentorship of Canadian Nurses in HIV Care. My involvement in this
project as a research assistant greatly enhanced my understanding of ways to engage PHAs’ experiential knowledge in HIV education, research, and care in line with the Greater Involvement of People living with HIV/AIDS (GIPA) principles. After 3 years of doctoral studies in Canada, I returned to Kenya to

The application of simulation methodologies on estimating gas emissions from construction equipment
DownloadSpring 2011
Construction contributes significantly to gas emissions. Diverse efforts have been undertaken to mitigate the effects of these emissions; however, there currently is no effective tool to estimate small-scale (e.g., project-based) emissions in construction. Discrete-event simulation (DES), a new
approach, may be able to rectify this lack. This research has built a DES-based emission template using Simphony, a special purpose simulation (SPS) environment developed at the University of Alberta. This template permits inexperienced simulators to build simulation models that can estimate emissions of a
construction project. Two case studies are used to showcase the modeling process and to demonstrate how valuable information concerning sustainability can be obtained through this method. In addition, this research introduces an emission federate in a high-level architecture (HLA) simulation environment that

Translating and Publishing Nigerian Literature in France (1953-2017): A Study of Selected Writers
Download2019-05-06
This project focuses on the history and process of translating and publishing selected Anglophone Nigerian novels into French, with a special focus on elements of hybridity. The corpus consists of novels written by canonical and non-canonical, male and female Nigerian authors in the years after the
