The goal of this research is to investigate, design and evaluate user-adaptive visualization systems, which personalize interaction based on the individual needs of a given user. In order to achieve this goal, a visualization system is required as a starting point with which to carry out this research. As a first step, this research aims […]

The research will comprise effects of penetration of photovoltaic on existing distribution network. This will include power quality, voltage stability and customer load when there is a penetration. The graphs would display and let the utility organization know till what level the penetration should be done on a distribution network. The advantages and the need […]

Visual analytics (VA) potentially has a great range of applications within healthcare. CAREX and Engage Data will investigate, with the intern, the uses of VA for data analysis and visualization to support real-world carcinogen-related explorations related to the use of the eRISK Online web-based tool developed by CAREX. Engage Data is specifically interested in understanding […]

Carbon Engineering (CE) is currently building a demonstration plant to capture carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere to combat climate change using a technique called direct air capture (DAC). This project will focus on determining the effectiveness of this plant at pulling carbon out of the atmosphere under various operating conditions, while also looking at […]

Self-tapping screws (STS), when compared to traditional wood screws, are longer and have improved thread geometry, and are made of hardened steel which increases their axial, bending, torsional, and most importantly also their withdrawal capacity. The use of STS in connection assemblies, however, is not standardized and their advantageous performance when implemented at an angle […]

The Jewish Family Services Agency (JFSA) provides community based resettlement and employment services to immigrants in the Greater Vancouver Area from many parts of the world. The Resettlement Department counsels clients in career exploration and planning to ensure that all stages of career readiness and preparation are complete. The goal of the project, titled ‘JFSA […]

Accessible, high-quality science education is central to positively shaping public opinion of science. Public perceptions and understandings of chemistry have often been associated with negative attitudes, misconceptions about the nature of chemicals, and sometimes misdirected anxieties about their effects on humans. These negative images are compounded by the fact that chemistry is under represented in […]

The annual return of sockeye salmon to the Fraser River is a vital part of British Columbia’s environment, economy, and First Nations heritage. However, sockeye salmon can face numerous challenges during their migration including fisheries, warm water temperatures, and dams. Recent population declines in sockeye salmon have prompted concerns over the challenges salmon face during […]

The proposed research project is around conducting feasibility studies on the purification and conditioning of industrial hemicellulosic C5 sugars from a number of potentially commercial wheat straw liquor fractions. The research will propose experiments where data for the ultimate evaluation of enzymatic hydrolysis vs. a selected comparative list of acid hydrolysis can be included. The […]

The idea of using light for transferring data has been developed rapidly since 1960s. Today, using light for short-distance communication, as an alternative for copper wires, is rapidly growing mostly because of its broadband communication characteristics. Optical communication systems consist of both electronic and photonic components. Designing such systems will benefit from an Integrated Development […]

Frequent Google users may be familiar with the knowledge graph – it is what creates the visual display of key information related to a search query, often shown at the top of the page. The knowledge graph a store of information built up by organizing extracted information from various websites and grouping related material under […]
