Fluids are often simulated on regular grids. At each grid point, the fluid velocity is stored as a vector. In order to analyze the flow, most flow-visualization algorithms interpolate the vector field at non-grid points in a component-wise fashion. This straightforward approach is not conservative i.e., the interpolated vector-field is no longer divergence-free. The aim […]

Traffic accident data aggregation relates with boundary issues is OTS's first project with University of Calgary. Several years of collision data, traffic network and neighborhood will be collected from OTS. This project contains implicit knowledge to improve the data aggregation method which has significant impact of data sharing on neighborhood boundaries. The first part of […]

When a company has excess power generation at its disposal, a natural course of action will be to seek to market that power. However, power markets are notoriously volatile, and this makes the cash flows that result from selling the power unpredictable and hard to plan for. The aim of this project is to help […]

A Binary Fluid Ejector (BFE) refrigeration system is a scalable, energy efficient, cost effective, environmentally friendly refrigeration system that converts thermal energy directly into cooling. The intern will be performing feasibility studies of potential practical applications for the BFE system based on the different climate zones in North America. To achieve this, he will perform […]

Snoring during sleep is common and is sometimes indicative of a mechanical impediment to breathing. The condition, called high upper airway resistance, is thought to be relatively common affecting roughly 15% of the population. It is characterized by complaints of daytime fatigue and/or sleepiness and is associated with a myriad of disastrous effects on a […]

A prototype Forex currency trading system has demonstrated a proof of concept on a static data set. The current project proposes to implement the trading system for real-time applications.

The specific aim of this study is to examine the demand for a social-network based dynamic ridesharing system called FacePorter. The study will also be focused on the role that social networks can play in facilitating this ride-sharing Program. The University of Calgary population will be examined as potential users for such service. A combination […]

Argillaceous shales comprise a large proportion of rocks in most sedimentary basins. They serve as caprocks in the projects of petroleum industry. Maintaining borehole and caprock integrity is to prevent disasters such as borehole collapse and leakage through caprocks. Thermal-hydro-mechanical properties of argillaceous shales have decisive controls on the integrity analysis. As a kind of […]

Operating room scheduling is one of the most important issues at Foothills Medical Centre (FMC), on which the hospital budget and the efficiency of OR management rely. OR scheduling is difficult in practice and theory because there are many constraints and disturbances. However, cardiac surgeries have special characteristics. Compared with other types of surgeries, cardiac […]

Chaordix is a company that develops crowdsourcing solutions for a variety of clients in industry, universities and governments. In early 2009, it launched a commercial managed services platform for crowdsourcing, called Chaordix, which has firmly established the company as a crowdsourcing pioneer. At this point in time Chaordix provides a global standard in crowdsourced market […]

Peripheral neuropathy is a medical condition that leads to a loss of sensation in the feet. Due to this loss, patients suffering from this condition are at an increased risk of falling due to impaired control of posture and gait function. Orpyx Medical Technologies Inc. has developed a biomedical device to substitute the sensory loss […]

The object of this study is to prepare and evaluate two rooftops of the partnering organization’s facility for a 2 year green roof performance research study. The internship will be instrumental to plan for and execute the physical set up, installation and first year monitoring of the research site. This will include: analysis of the […]
