) promote application of simulation in site layout planning of tunnelling projects by developing a special-purpose simulation tool, (4) simultaneously optimize site layout variables and construction planning variables by developing an integrated GA-simulation framework, and (5) optimize site layout planning
Site layout planning, which involves identifying sizes and locations of temporary facilities, can have significant impacts on the safety, cost, time, and productivity of projects. Despite considerable research undertaken to improve efficiency of planning construction site layouts, most models
developed for this purpose have overlooked the impact of facility size on project cost and cannot thoroughly model the dual impact of site layout variables (i.e., facility size and location) and construction plan variables (e.g., production rate, resources, and material delivery). In this research, given

Enhancing Activity-on-Node Network Diagramming Technique for Modeling Interdependent Workflows in Planning Fabrication Projects
DownloadFall 2022
Fabrication operations produce made-to-order structural components (such steel elements or precast concrete) for multiple construction projects, which require crews to repeat their work at a number of workstations or locations in a special manufacturing facility. Scheduling these interdependent
techniques have been developed to facilitate modelling and analysis. However, these existing scheduling approaches fail to address the extensive resource links among projects, thereby negatively impacting the stability and feasibility of resultant project schedules and increasing management difficulties in
different stages of the project. Hence, the workface operation realities often deviate away from the actual planning bringing down the overall productivity. Unless the changes and variations (e.g., material logistics) during operations can be sufficiently and cost-effectively reflected in the planning, the

Translating and Publishing Nigerian Literature in France (1953-2017) A Study of Selected Writers
DownloadSpring 2019
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
works are translated based on the author’s international literary reputation. Even though some publishers have introduced more Nigerian literary works in the target culture through special collections devoted to African Anglophone literature, this research shows that Nigerian literature as part of the

Stimuli-Responsive Polymer-Based Materials and Devices for Controlled and Triggered Release of Small Molecules
DownloadSpring 2020
This thesis covers the general scope of stimuli-responsive polymers and the concept of controlled drug delivery, with special focus on controlled/triggered release applications of temperature-responsive poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAm)-based hydrogels, microgels, their assemblies, and
related work done before my PhD program, and preliminary experimental results on related research projects.

Walking with the Archives: Mapping Newfoundland Identity through Ghost Stories and Folklore
DownloadSpring 2016
Guy Debord defines psychogeography as “the study of the precise laws and specific effects of the geographical environment, whether consciously organized or not, on the emotions and behavior of individuals” (23). My project examines the psychogeography of Newfoundland’s ghost stories—what I am

This project builds on my undergraduate honors thesis by understanding how the literature of Newfoundland “[reminds
] Newfoundlanders, Labradorians, and Canadians, in general, that the province is a special place with a stubborn local nationalism that has deep historical roots. Canada, it might be argued, began here” (Hiller 143). The sharing of stories, especially stories exploring similar or identical ghostly experiences (for
