A conceptual framework for real-time adaptive supply chain systems based on Internet of Things (IoT)
DownloadSpring 2018
Supply chain (SC) systems are often subject to high operational dynamics due to the large number of resources involved, frequent interaction between them, exhaustive human participation and timely decisions being made. This dynamic nature of SCs can be organized more efficiently by adopting...

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...

Miniaturized, Inherently Matched, and Scalable Folded Dipole Antennas with Applications in Narrowband Sensing
DownloadFall 2019
This work presents a novel technique for miniaturizing folded dipole antennas using a simple series reactive loading scheme that enables the input impedance to be engineered, such that the antenna can be matched inherently to either a real or a complex source impedance at a specified level of...

Movement and Habitat Use of the Long-Toed Salamander (Ambystoma macrodactylum) in Waterton Lakes National Park, Alberta
DownloadFall 2015
Population estimates for adult long-toed salamander (Ambystoma macrodactylum) at Linnet Lake in Waterton Lakes National Park, Alberta, showed a 60% decline from 1994 and 2008 –2009. To prevent further decline, in 2008 Parks Canada installed four under-road crossing structures (tunnels) and...

We investigate two wireless networking problems related to object mobility in the two fields of Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) Systems, and Underwater Sensor Networks (UWSNs). RFID is an automatic identification technology where inexpensive information storage devices, called tags, are...

Using under-road tunnels to protect a declining population of long-toed salamanders (Ambystoma macrodactylum) in Waterton Lakes National Park
DownloadFall 2010
I investigated the value of under-road tunnels as a conservation strategy to protect a long-toed salamander population, in south-west Alberta, whose overwintering sites and breeding habitat (Linnet Lake) are separated by a road. I conducted a mark-recapture study from 2008-2009, capturing...
