Incorporating the effects of complex dynamic interactions in the construction decision making process
DownloadFall 2011
Construction projects involve complex interactions among operational components such as labour, materials and equipment and context or organizational components such as worker morale and organizational policies. Interactions among different components of construction projects form byzantine...

Integrated Production Planning and Control System for Prefabrication of Panelized Construction for Residential Building
DownloadFall 2016
Panelized construction has been recognized as a promising approach to residential construction. However, its full potential in terms of productivity improvement has not yet been realized due to the absence of an automated production planning and control system. This research thus conceives an...

Grade control establishes the final destinations for mined material (plant, stockpile, waste dump, etc.) at the time of mining. Correct decisions bring profit to a mining company while incorrect decisions bring losses. There are several potential sources of misclassification of mined material: i)...

Physical simulations are in general very computationally intensive and required large and costly computing resources. Most of those simulations are rarely interactive as the link between visualization, interaction, and simulation is too slow. The recent development of parallel Graphic Processing...

Lean-Mod: An Approach to Modular Construction Manufacturing Production Efficiency Improvement
DownloadSpring 2014
Modular construction manufacturing (MCM) is superior to the current on-site construction system which is hampered by inefficiency and material and process waste. Modular buildings are potentially built through a more efficient and cost-effective method, but in the current manufacturing-based...

Learning in simulation: theorizing Ricoeur in a study involving paramedics, pilots, and others
DownloadFall 2010
The use of simulation is becoming increasingly important in the education of practitioners whose field of work contains a low tolerance for error. In aerospace, aviation, medicine, paramedicine, and the military, simulations are expected to provide working practitioners with “on demand”...

Touch is one of the most important sensory inputs during the performance of surgery. However, the literature on kinesthetic and tactile feedback—both called haptic—in surgical training remain rudimentary. This rudimentary knowledge is partially due to the fact that haptic feedback is difficult to...

Virtual-patient simulators play an important role in modern medical education. These simulators provide a safe environment for learning, give contextual feedback to learners, and allow the learner to move beyond the time and space constraints of traditional face-to-face medical instruction. In...

A promising approach to the development of an integrated system for magnetic resonance imaging-guided radiotherapy involves the rigid coupling of a medical linear accelerator to a rotating biplanar magnet assembly. Through near real-time volumetric imaging during irradiation, this hybrid system...
