Tool-path generation and optimization for robot machining using Artificial Intelligence

This research aims to generate and optimize optimal tool-path(process path of robot) by learning data on kinematics and dynamics properties required for the machining process using multi-axis robots with Artificial Intelligence(AI). Based on the end-effector of the robot, a new approach is proposed to optimize tool path in drilling or milling processes and to develop […]

Developing Alternative Career Decision-Support Tool for Internationally Educated Health Professionals

Internationally Educated Health Professionals (IEHPs), are those who completed their health professional degree (e.g., nursing, MD, etc.) from outside Canada. Many of the IEHPs, however, cannot integrate into their ideal career i.e., nurse, physician, etc. and remain underemployed in non-skilled jobs. The low rate of success in obtaining their respective career in Canada leaves no […]

Improving protein content in rice grains through prime editing

Protein deficiency is a major problem affecting large scale of the world’s population. Rice, the globally desired staple food, has low protein content (7-10%) in its grains. Though rice protein content is low compared to other cereals, it is highly desired due to the presence of highly nutritious and easily digestible glutelin protein. Grain Protein […]

The influence of early-life gut microbiome disruption on HPA stress axisdysregulation and allergic asthma – Year two

Asthma affects 1 in 8 Canadian children and is the leading cause of pediatric hospitalizations with costs to Canadian health care systems estimated to exceed 4.2Billion/year by 2030. While the causes are still debated, infant prematurity is a strong predictor for asthma. The altered gut bacterial community (microbiome) in preemies is suspected to contribute to […]

Emerging seismic monitoring techniques to understand microseismicity at a shallow CO2 injection site

Carbon Capture and Storage is projected to play a key role in achieving the federal government’s target of reducing Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions to net-zero by 2050. CMC Research Institutes, in partnership with the University of Calgary, has established the Containment and Monitoring Institute Field Research Station (FRS), a state-of-the-art testbed facility to develop, test […]

Understanding the effects of: 1) Different types of outdoor access for dry cows on transition cow health, 2) Outdoor access for dry cows on dairy farm profitability, and 3) Different communication strategies on public perception of dairy farming in Canada

We recently studied Western Canadian dairy farmers’ perspectives on outdoor access for dairy cows and identified 3 key areas requiring more research. Participants cited a lack of research on the effects of outdoor access for dry cows on transition cow health and farm profitability as a barrier to making an informed decision to provide outdoor […]

Designing, implementing and optimizing an SVM based system to detect machines engaged in distributed denial of service attack

In this research, we propose the design of an efficient automated system which can effectively learn from the patterns of malicious activities, in the form of distributed denial of service attack (DDoS) against web servers on the Internet, and subsequently offer potential victims protection against such attacks by banning such requests in advance. A DDoS […]
