This dissertation focuses on several issues pertaining to three-state progressive stochastic processes. Casting survival data within a three-state framework is an effective way to incorporate intermediate events into an analysis. These events can yield valuable insights into treatment interventions and the natural history of a process, especially when the right censoring is heavy. Exploiting the uni-directional nature of these processes allows for more effective modelling of the types of incompl...

Urban regeneration has been accompanying urban development since the earliest human settlement, and was emphasized after the World War Two. Several decades experience and billions of dollars forced the decision makers to realize the importance of urban image, quality of life, and urban environment, which were recognized as prerequisites and catalysts for the economic development of cities. In this circumstance squares have been involved in urban regeneration projects to create symbol of the city...

The tension between acceptable human use of the environment and the management systems that intend to mitigate this use continues to be an important focus for discussion and research. This is particularly evident in the situation of recreation in parks and protected areas. Enhancing public participation in the development and implementation of resource management objectives has received much attention, in literature and in practice, as a way to mediate this tension. However, how this participati...

The behaviour of hydrocarbon fuels in contaminated groundwater systems is studied using a multicomponent reactive transport model. The simulated processes include residual NAPL dissolution, aerobic and anaerobic biodegradation with daughter-product transport, and transport of a reactive carrier with mixed equilibrium/kinetic sorption. The solution algorithm is based on a three-dimensional Galerkin finite element scheme with deformable brick elements and capacity for a free watertable search. Non...

This research investigated the system by which the social effects of oil sands development on Fort McMurray, a city in northeastern Alberta, are assessed and managed. The research focused on Social Impact Assessment (SIA), Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA), and the work of an industry initiative, the Regional Issues Working Group (RIWG). The oil sands industry, which involves large, labour-intensive mining and drilling operations in a boom-bust cycle, places considerable pressure on Fort ...

The Long Point wetland complex is one of the most significant coastal wetland systems in the Great Lakes, containing a diverse mosaic of wetland vegetation communities that have developed in response to water level fluctuations due to natural climate variability. Natural short-term water level variations are important for promoting wetland productivity and diversity, but long-term water level changes resulting from human-induced climate change can have serious and long-term consequences on the i...

Reservoirs impound and store large volumes of water and flood land. The water is used for electricity generation, irrigation, industrial and municipal consumption, flood control and to improve navigation. The decomposition of flooded soil and vegetation creates greenhouse gases and thus reservoirs are a source of greenhouse gases. Reservoirs are not well studied for greenhouse gas flux from the water to the atmosphere. The FLooded Upland Dynamics EXperiment (FLUDEX) involves the creation of thre...

This thesis studies the design and implementation of a linear minimum mean-square error (LMMSE) receiver in asynchronous bandlimited direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (DS-CDMA) systems that employ long-code pseudo-noise (PN) sequences and operate in multipath environments. The receiver is shown to be capable of multiple-access interference (MAI) suppression and multipath diversity combining without the knowledge of other users signature sequences. It outperforms any other linear rece...
