Simulation-based Sensor Configuration Optimization to Detect Human Activities in Smart Indoor Spaces
DownloadFall 2023
Smart indoor spaces include a network of interconnected sensors, predictive models, and actuators to sense occupants’ activities and act to improve living. These ubiquitous systems are increasingly popular due to their potential to improve energy efficiency, comfort, and safety in buildings....

Stream Crossings in the Western Boreal Forest: Assessing Impacts and Prioritizing Restoration for Native Freshwater Fishes
DownloadFall 2015
Growing anthropogenic development in response to rising demands for natural resources is a major concern for freshwater fish, particularly in resource rich regions such as Canada’s boreal forest. Expanding networks of industrial resource roads has led to the installation of hundreds of thousands...

Synthesis and degradation of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) under different nutrient combinations in the alphaproteobacterial methanotroph, Methylocystis sp. Rockwell
DownloadFall 2023
Methane emissions and plastic pollution are two distinct environmental issues that arise from human activities. The ongoing increases in methane emissions and its atmospheric concentration pose a major environmental threat as methane is a potent greenhouse gas, with a warming effect 28 times...
