Japan is one of the most geologically active countries on Earth. It has seen many volcanic eruptions throughout its history, along with earthquakes and tsunamis due to plate tectonic movements. Over time, these eruptions have deposited many volcanic ash layers onto the ground, where they are buried and preserved. We can use these ash layers […]

Pipelines are often subjected to longitudinal stresses due to ground movements such as moving slopes and discontinuous permafrost areas. In these cases, numerical models are used to calculate strain demand which is then compared to tensile and compressive strain capacities (TSC and CSC) which are functions of the pipeline and girth weld material properties. In […]

Millions of people worldwide suffer from motor impairment due to aging and/or neurological injuries, such as stroke. It has previously been demonstrated that functional electrical stimulation (FES) can be used to artificially contract lower limb muscles to improve independent standing of individuals with neurological impairments. A system that applies FES to regulate balance is called […]

Breaking Barriers to Social Conscious Business in Edmonton is a research project that aims to help the business community in the Edmonton downtown core and beyond better serve their community through socially-conscious business practices by shedding light on what barriers and facilitators business owners face in adopting socially conscious business practices in their day-to-day operations. […]

TerraNotes Ltd is a geoscience company based in Edmonton, Alberta. TerraNotes has developed or improved 75 proprietary techniques in geophysical applications. With the current advanced techniques in making use of ground-based and airborne surveys, the exploration industry can now routinely produce complex geophysical mappings. Hence it is of importance to develop advanced image processing techniques […]

In this project, our goal is to set up a framework of data collection to support user profiling which could be used to identify influential users in decision-making. The profile will be built based on the information of individual users obtained by collecting user activities in rewarding challenges that encourage employees, customers and partners to […]

Reinforcement learning (RL) provides a unified framework for sequential decision-making problem, where a computer agent interacts with an environment while trying to learn optimal decisions to maximize its long-term reward. This makes RL a suitable choice for many real-world applications, including finance. RL applications in finance have created a lot of in-depth innovation such as […]

TerraNotes Ltd is a geoscience company based in Edmonton, Alberta. TerraNotes has developed or improved 75 proprietary geophysical techniques to extract important information from geophysical datasets. With the current advanced techniques in making use of airborne surveys, the exploration industry can rapidly and effectively obtain magnetic data which cover very large regions and remote areas. […]

Forest companies would like to reduce the number of birds, eggs, and nests that are negatively affected by logging. They are particularly interested in reducing impacts on species at risk. The problem is that we don’t have detailed knowledge of where every bird lives, so it’s difficult to make educated choices about where and how […]

DriveABLE Inc uses a set of simple video tasks to identify the impaired drivers. Video tasks come in the form of simple games and measure cognitive ability. The test results are analysed by AI powered algorithm that predicts the impairment level of the driver. Our project’s main objective is to redesign the AI in such […]

The project is a demonstration of Advanced Energy Technologies (AET)’s patented refining process for upgrading heavy oil products without diluent or extreme heat treatments. This produces lighter, higher value oil that is easier to work with throughout the process stream, with greater efficiency and less cost. AET will be conducting demonstration runs of the Hydrogen […]
