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

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 […]

Applying Machine Learning Methods to Air Emission Monitoring

Alberta’s Oil and Gas (O&G) sector plays a critical role in Canada meeting its commitment to the Paris Climate Change Agreement. However, few studies published the actual operation data for extraction operations (schemes), especially fuel consumption data to accurately project greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for development and expansion of O&G projects. In this study, we […]

Applying Multi-surface Environments to Medical Imaging Techniques

In medicine, imaging-based exams are used to support diagnostics, treatment planning andlor the treatment itself. Considering the number, integration and nature of devices in a multi-surface environment (e.g. smartphones, tablets, multi-touch surfaces and wall displays), this project proposes a system for imaging visualization and manipulation that takes advantages from each device’s capabilities in the environment. […]
