Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), formation of blood clot in deep vein usually in leg, has severe health complications that can lead to disability or death. Applying a cyclic pressure can improve blood circulation and may prevent DVT. This cyclic pressure can be implemented via mobile compression socks (MCS). However, MCS only apply static pressure, which […]

The dewatering systems in the FortisBC hydropower generation facilities need long-term rehabilitation solutions. The purpose of this project is to develop a risk assessment model for the dewatering systems of hydropower generation facilities, and to identify the best long-term rehabilitation solutions for such facilities. Recommendation on long-term maintenance and rehabilitation will be provided on the […]

Electrical Energy represents one of the fastest growing types of energy; however this growth is accompanied by diminishing fossil fuel resources. Renewable sources of energyespecially solar- represent one of the possible ways to meet this increased demand. For that reason , many countries have ambitious plans for increasing their electricity production from solar energy. Utilities […]

The last 5 years have seen remarkable advances in speech, image and language recognition tools that have been made available to the public through computer and mobile devices’ applications. Some of these significant improvements were achieved by an artificial intelligence tool known as deep learning (Hinton et al., 2006) that generally refers to a set […]

Ce projet vise à doter les gestionnaires des usines d’eau potable d’outils concret et opérationnelle pour améliorer leur résilience, c’est-à-dire, assurer un fonctionnement acceptable et ce, malgré des perturbations. L’eau potable et sa disponibilité sont des éléments essentiels pour les citoyens d’une municipalité. À terme, les outils identifieront les mesures nécessaires pour assurer ce fonctionnement […]

Healthcare organizations in British Columbia currently lack an eHealth system as a network of multiple data sources to manage EHRs in meaningful ways. To support clinician decision in operational needs, this project will investigate a cloud-based eHealth system to improve the scalability and interoperability of health information system. A data integration system and an online […]

In forestry, the two major costs of delivering wood to the mill are the costs of forest road construction and transportation of harvested wood. Given the magnitude of the costs involved, and the complexity of the planning problem, computer optimization models are used. In this research project, we have outlined a research plan by which […]

Electrical power generation based on wind energy has been one of the fastest growing renewable energy sources. An important area of research in wind energy is to find different ways to improve the power reliability of systems. Modeling wind turbine power curve using past data is often used as an efficient way to use empirical […]

The majority of mid-20th century high-rise concrete housing stock have reached the end of their first lifecycle in terms of structural integrity and environmental performance, and the urban planning ideals with which they were designed have made these neighbourhoods irrelevant to the contemporary culture of the city. Solutions for economical, structural, social and technological barriers […]
