Battery chargers are an essential component in electric, plug-in hybrid vehicles and various other clean energy systems. However, the battery charger performance is susceptible to the operating temperature. Thus, an efficient and reliable thermal management system should be developed to address the problems due to induced thermal stress. This project aims to develop a heat […]

Project Objectives: 1. To identify the best practices in knowledge recombination by comparing science-based multinational corporations and start-up firms. 2. To suggest refinements in alliance strategies for science-based multinational corporations and start-up firms. 3. To uncover processes and organizational structures to productively exploit the confluence of biotechnology and nanotechnology by MNCs. Motivation for Research: Successful […]

Contaminated sites assessment and remediation is an area of specialized services provided by Keystone Environmental. The technical challenge facing Keystone Environmental is to develop an innovative approach to provide effective contaminated sites services at rocky intertidal beaches in British Columbia. The rocky beaches of Howe Sound, impacted by effluents from pulp mills and mine acid […]

The UN Sustainable Development Goals provide guidance for how to address the interconnected challenges of climate change. Most modelling does not include consideration of the different factors of the SDGs, though recent work has begun to include the nexus of Climate, Land, Energy and Water interactions in models. This helps identify impacts of the energy […]

Recent advances in wearable devices have allowed athletes to monitor some determinant factors of their sport performance. In addition, they can be used to develop real-time 3D avatars of people to compete with them during dynamic activities. Kinetyx recently developed insoles with multiple sensors that can be worn within a shoe while performing many activities. […]

This research and development project intends to improve the performance of a dental implant stability measurement (ISMS) device made by Prefail Dental Solutions Inc. The technical improvements proposed by this project includes (i) developing an impeoved and reliable signal processing technique, (ii) designing a calibration unit, (iii) designing a new tip for the ISMS clinical […]

Microplastics (MP), defined as any plastic polymer particles

Skin diseases such as psoriasis and eczema are common and cause discomfort in skin lesions. Psoriasis is a chronic disease with cycles of unknown triggers. Currently treatments for psoriasis are very limited. A special bacterium-produced compound called benvitimod has demonstrated effects on treating both psoriasis and eczema by suppressing inflammation and promoting cell migration. However, […]

Climate change is leading to the retreat of glaciers and more extreme weather events that greatly increase landslide hazards on Canadian mountains as seen by the recent catastrophic events and fatalities in British Columbia. BC also hosts dormant volcanoes which are important areas for development of geothermal energy yet are vulnerable as they consist of […]

The aim of this project is to improve simultaneous EEG-fMRI techniques through the use of constrained principal component analysis (CPCA). The main problem with combining EEG measures and fMRI measures is that recording EEG in the MR scanner always injects noise into the data. CPCA partitions the variability of the data into systematic and error […]

Ubiquitous deployment of networked cameras has boosted the prevalence of video analytics. Leveraging machines to automatically analyze captured videos has become the driving force behind a variety of contemporary applications. However, it is known to be resource-hungry with highly dynamic demands, which mismatches the existing monolithic cloud service deployment with coarse-grained resource allocation. Recent advances […]
