Modelling and Microsimulation of Activity Generation, Activity Scheduling and Mobility Assignment
(2020-05-04)This thesis develops a novel framework for modelling and microsimulation of activity-based travel demand. It explores alternative micro-behavioural modelling methods for individuals’ activity participation, time allocation, ... -
MODELLING AND SOLVING THE MULTI-CALENDAR NAVAL SURFACE SHIP WORK PERIOD PROBLEM UNDER ACTIVITY RELATIONSHIP CONSTRAINTS
(2022-04-14)This thesis deals with modelling and solving the multi-calendar extensions of the naval surface ship work period problem (NSWPP). NSWPP is a variant of the resource constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) with its ... -
Modelling Arctic Sea Ice and Ocean Processes in a Changing Climate
(2023-12-13)Warming four times faster than the rest of the globe, the Arctic region is experiencing rapid changes. At the heart of this amplification of anthropogenic climate change lies a strong coupling between the different components ... -
Modelling Biennial Bearing in Apple Trees
(2011-09-14)Many commercially grown apple cultivars have a biennial cropping habit, producing many small fruit in one year and few or none in the following year. The production of fruits is known to inhibit flower initiation for the ... -
Modelling collagen fibril structure using continuum theory
(2019-08-09)Collagen fibrils are microscopic, rope-like, biological structures that provide mechanical support to tissues within humans and other animals. It is still not fully understood how these fibrils self-assemble from their ... -
Modelling Energy Storage for Demand Charge Mitigation in Commercial Buildings to Develop Standardized Design Guidelines
(2021-09-13)In parallel to growing building electrification initiatives, the cost of lithium-ion batteries has fallen by over 85% since 2010. These factors have driven interest in using lithium-ion batteries to reduce demand charges ... -
Modelling fishing effort displacement in the Southern Gulf of St Lawrence snow crab (Chionoecetes opilio) fishery: quantifying management measures for North Atlantic Right Whale (Eubalaena glacialis) entanglement prevention
(2018-12)Anthropogenic mortality is the leading factor inhibiting the recovery of the endangered North Atlantic right whale (NARW), in which 85% of human-induced deaths are caused by entanglement in commercial fishing gear. In 2017, ... -
Modelling Fluid Dynamics and Mass Transfer in Bubble Plumes using Lagrangian Particle Tracking
(2019-08-27)A solver was developed in OpenFOAM to simulate fluid dynamics and gas dissolution in bubble plumes. The solver uses Lagrangian particle tracking (LPT) to resolve the motion of individual bubbles or bubbles grouped into ... -
Modelling Human Target Reaching using A novel predictive deep reinforcement learning technique
(2018-04-03)It is hypothesized that the brain builds an internal representation of the world and its body. Moreover, it is well established that human decision making and instrumental control uses multiple systems, some which are ... -
Modelling Non-linear Relationships in ERP Data Using Mixed-effects Regression with R Examples
(2013-05-29)The relationship between two variables is very often assumed to be a straight line. However, there are many problems for which this assumption does not hold. In this paper, we show that the assumption of linearity, an ... -
Modelling of Emergency Vehicle Demand using Poisson Hurdle Regression Model
(2016-12-16)This research presents a Poisson Hurdle Regression Model to explore the factors influencing emergency vehicle demand. The modelling approach built on recent work on spatial modelling field that deals with an excess count ... -
Modelling of spatial infection spread through heterogeneous population: from lattice to PDE models
(2021-12-20)We derive a PDE model of the infection spread, which takes population density into account. This model is a continuum limit of agent-based model of human movement. Numerical simulations of the model show that dense population ... -

Modelling phase shifts in a rocky subtidal ecosystem
(Inter-Research, Nordbuente 23 Oldendorf/Luhe 21385 Germany, [mailto:ir@int-res.com], [URL:http://www.int-res.com/], 2008-03)The rocky subtidal ecosystem of the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia is characterised by 2 community states, kelp beds and urchin barrens that alternate on a decadal time scale. While the shift from barrens to a kelp bed ... -
Modelling phase shifts in a rocky subtidal ecosystem
(2009)The rocky subtidal ecosystem of the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia is characterised by 2 community states, kelp beds and urchin barrens that alternate on a decadal time scale. While the shift from barrens to a kelp bed ... -

Modelling prokaryote gene content
(2007-02)The patchy distribution of genes across the prokaryotes may be caused by multiple gene losses or lateral transfer. Probabilistic models of gene gain and loss are needed to distinguish between these possibilities. Existing ... -
