Fall 2021
Middleton, Steven Mark William
A numerical model and software interface for the design and modelling of Stirling engines was presented. This model was developed to suit low-temperature Stirling engines, those that run at source temperature of less than 150 °C and run at speeds where temporarily developed losses become...

Action Selection for Hammer Shots in Curling: Optimization of Non-convex Continuous Actions With Stochastic Action Outcomes
DownloadSpring 2017
Optimal decision making in the face of uncertainty is an active area of research in artificial intelligence. In this thesis, I present the sport of curling as a novel application domain for research in optimal decision making. I focus on one aspect of the sport, the hammer shot, the last shot...

Interfacial activity of SAGD PW endogenous surfactants, humic acids (HAs), and their interaction dynamics with naphtha-diluted Alberta oil sand bitumen (AOSB) present in model SAGD produced water has been addressed in the first part of this PhD thesis. Dynamic interfacial tension σ(t) between oil...

Advanced quantitative techniques to enhance heavy and civil construction information modeling
DownloadSpring 2011
Site development in heavy and civil construction need to consider many rules such as ensuring proper drainage, prevention of flood, safety driving, optimizing earthwork, minimizing fleet travel distances, proper fleet matching and achieving high equipment utilization rates. In recent decades,...

An Assessment of the Impacts of Climate Change on Freight Delivery Schedule Strategies on the Mackenzie River
DownloadFall 2016
The Mackenzie River is a major freight transportation route serving many remote northern Canadian communities and mining sites. The river is only navigable during the summer and early fall months, when it is clear of ice. However, the water conditions of this river have changed significantly in...
