Upper Paleozoic Hydrocarbon Systems, Stratigraphy, and Detrital Zircon Geochronology, Sverdrup Basin, Arctic Canada
(Science, University of Calgary, 2019-12-13)The Carboniferous-Permian succession of the Sverdrup Basin was studied on a basin wide scale to determine the viability of hydrocarbon systems and locally along the northwest margin focussing on stratigraphy and paleogeography. ... -
Improving Deep Neural Networks: Optimization, Regularization, and Generative Modeling
(Science, University of Calgary, 2019-12)In the past decade, deep learning has revolutionized the fields of computer vision, speech recognition, natural language processing, and continues spreading to many other fields. Therefore, it is important to better ... -
Measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution for metropolitan network
(Science, University of Calgary, 2019-12)Since its initial proposal in 2012, measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution (MDIQKD) has inspired rapid experimental progress as it is invulnerable to all detector side-channel attacks and ideally suitable ... -
A Variational Multiscale Framework for Analysis of Wind Turbines in Complex Terrain
(Schulich School of Engineering, University of Calgary, 2019-12)Current industry tools for analyzing the flow field around wind turbines in complex terrain do not include all the non-linear physical effects present in reality. A residual based variational multi-scale (VMS) modeling ... -
Modeling of the Water-based Heating System of the Mechanical Engineering Building at the University of Calgary
(Schulich School of Engineering, University of Calgary, 2019-12)In this research, the model of the water-based heating system of Mechanical Engineering Building (MEB) is developed. This project is conducted in collaboration with “Office of Sustainability” of University of Calgary (UofC), ... -
Effect of Defects, Inclusions and Inhomogeneities in Elastic Solids
(Schulich School of Engineering, University of Calgary, 2019-12)This thesis focusses on the theory of materials with defects introduced by John D. Eshelby in the 50s and the 60s, which today we call Configurational Mechanics or, in his honour, Eshelbian Mechanics. The thesis consists ... -
Microseismic Monitoring of a Duvernay Hydraulic-Fracturing Stimulation, Alberta Canada: Processing and Interpretation assisted by Finite-Difference Synthetic Seismograms
(Science, University of Calgary, 2019-12)The increase in the development of unconventional oil and gas reservoirs in the past years has triggered anomalously high seismic activity in several sedimentary basins around the world, particularly in North American ... -
The Influence of Adult Education Principles on Canadian Spoken-Language Interpreter Training Programs: A Case Study
(Werklund School of Education, University of Calgary, 2019-12)This thesis reports on a one-year, multi-site case study aimed at characterizing current approaches to interpreter training in Canada and determining the influence of adult education principles on that training. The ... -
Consensus on Campus? Tension and Multiplicity in Student Mental Health
(Werklund School of Education, University of Calgary, 2019-12)In Canada (as elsewhere), postsecondary student mental health is increasingly positioned as an urgent social problem, even a crisis. Scholarly, professional, and popular publications detail the escalating prevalence, ... -
Land use effects on groundwater recharge in the prairies
(Science, University of Calgary, 2019-12)Land use effects on groundwater recharge in the prairies are poorly understood. Recharge rates are low, driven by snowmelt runoff in the spring. Errors in measurements of water balance components are often greater than the ...
