Based on the original Statistical Inventory Reconciliation(SIR) Test Method (Quantitative), K-folds cross validation is used to increase P(D) and decrease P(FA) by adjusting K, which are related to bias and standard deviation. There is a trade-off between bias and variance, with very flexible models (overfit) having low bias and high variance, and relatively rigid models(underfit) […]

Lithium batteries are almost universally integrated in modern electronics applications due to their high efficiency and scalability. However, the liquid lithium-ion electrolyte utilized in these batteries has a multitude of safety concerns including flammability, toxicity, and the ability to explode if short-circuited. These issues lead to problems while operating in hazardous environments, more stringent transportation […]

In the context of an increasingly globalized world, short-term international student exchanges have been championed as a method for enhancing students’ cultural competence and building international partnerships. Despite their positive potential, these partnerships also take place between countries and institutions with colonial and imperial histories which can complicate and possibly undermine the outcomes for local […]

Hearing aids are a common form of treatment for individuals suffering from a hearing impairment [1]. These devices work by collecting sound from the surrounding environment and amplifying that sound in the patient’s ear to improve hearing [2]. These devices work well under most conditions however, in noisy settings such as a busy restaurant, hearing […]

A new groundwater monitoring will be conducted consistently throughout the precipitation period (May~October) to collected a seasons worth of data around the “Engineered Forest”. The newly collected data will then be compared to historical values of the FRWMF to see if there are any observable differences between the two. This will prove there is no […]

The industry partner, Cantest is establishing a new leak detection procedure for analyzing data sources in aboveground storage tanks and statistical learning models to monitor AST shell dynamics and product activity over time. This is an important problem as identifying leak detection is usually associated with various environmental data and records collected from sensitive sensors […]

Our objective is to create, evaluate, and sustain an evidence-based leadership intervention to foster employee wellbeing. Based on the leadership development and organizational change literatures, I am proposing to conduct two studies at a provincial-based financial institution. The first study will explore the beliefs and opportunities to model health behaviours in the workplace and serves […]

Alternative Methodologies for Travel Time Studies Reza Omrani Sponsor Organization: CIMA+ Name of Supervisor: Dr. Lina Kattan University of Calgary Travel time is one of the largest categories of transport costs. Recent developments within the Bluetooth technology, widespread use of mobile phones, and in-vehicle navigation systems provided the opportunity to obtain travel time information within […]

Proper functioning of astrocytes and of the endocannabinoid system in the hypothalamus has been strongly linked to feeding behaviour and energy balance in mice. Furthermore, a strong molecular link has been found to connect cannabinoid receptors to leptin (a hunger hormone) receptors in hypothalamic astrocytes. Specifically, deletion of cannabinoid receptors in hypothalamic astrocytes disrupted the […]

In our data-saturated world, people could greatly benefit from understanding data in their daily lives through visualization. Currently, many visualizations are situated out of context from the physical world, leading to a loss of data-richness gained from in-context analysis. Using tabletop robotic devices and projectors, Dr. Jansen’s research team are developing infrastructure to generate and […]

ABC-transporters is a superfamily of membrane proteins that are expressed in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. One of the most studied ABC transporters is P-glycoprotein (Pgp). Pgp remove chemotherapy drugs from inside the cancer cell. Therefore, higher concentrations of toxic chemotherapy drugs are needed to kill cancer cells. This has an adverse effect: cancer cells develop resistance […]
