Many architecture and design firms in Calgary have a strong desire to incorporate parametric software (BIM) and digital manufacturing (CAD-CAM) technologies into their design processes in order to meet evolving client demands, regulatory requirements, and sustainability performance targets. These are necessary criteria that constitute high-quality built environments capable of meeting the needs of multiple stakeholders […]

Triathlon races are usually longer than 2 hours, but a new short distance team event has been added to the Olympics. This new event, the mixed relay, requires 2 men and 2 women to complete a short course which takes about 20 minutes each to complete. We want to know how the triathletes perform because […]

In the last decade optimization is expanded in many applications from food production to sophisticated applications such as engine fuel efficiency. In the proposed package, it is tried to apply optimization techniques along with physics based analytical and semi-analytical methodologies to create a compelling framework which can help thermal-process based oil industry to reduce their […]

The agricultural sector is currently facing a conundrum, whereas the needs to produce more (food, fiber, bioenergy) are ever increasing, the land and resources needed to produce them are diminishing. Furthermore, consumers and legislators pressure for environmentally friendly products are increasing accordingly, the development of sustainable alternatives such as the use of plant growth-promoting rhyzobacteria […]

In the operation of CANDU reactors, the Zr-2.5Nb pressure tubes holding the cooling water and fuel bundles are susceptible to hydride cracking-induced crack initiation mechanisms, known as delayed hydride cracking and overload crack initiation. For structural integrity evaluation of CANDU pressure tubes, of fracture toughness and hydride crack initiation models were developed. However, the hydride […]

Leveraging the entirety of point of sale and loyalty data collected across a category, as well as additional socio-economic and other supporting data sources, apply statistical modelling to identify the own-price elasticity of demand and cross-price elasticity of demand at regular and promoted price points across Unilever’s portfolio within that category. Subsequently measuring the promotional […]

Regeneration of destroyed arteries using the patient’s own stem cells is an innovative new treatment for Peripheral Artery Disease, that is currently being tested in humans in a Phase II trial. Throughout clinical studies, there has been an issue efficiently recruiting patients and clinical trial sites. Recruitment is recognized as a key determinant of success […]

Ce projet a pour objectif de faire la lumière sur l’effet de levier que l’économie sociale peut jouer dans une perspective de transition québécoise vers l’économie circulaire. Il permettra d’identifier les secteurs d’activités et les modèles d’affaires les plus porteurs pour les entreprises d’économie sociale dans le déploiement de boucles d’économie circulaire à une échelle […]

For both aircraft assembly and maintenance, mechanics need to quickly access information about parts and determine part numbers. Part numbers can be retrieved from 3D models of the aircraft but locating such models within an airplane is very difficult, particularly on small mobile devices. An additional complication is that the objects to be recognized are […]

The proposed research project seeks to develop protocols that will enable one to measure the functionality of the auditory brainstem in a way that is clinically viable and time efficient. This project aims to minimize the time necessary to conduct an inclusive otoacoustic emissions (OAE) test using contralateral acoustic stimulation. By setting threshold signal to […]

Reaction Dynamics is a small-satellite launch vehicle company aiming to build a launch vehicle using a revolutionary type of rocket propulsion. Launch vehicles rely on a sophisticated Guidance, Navigation, and Control algorithm to precisely navigate and stabilize their vehicle during flight. The company requires an innovative method to accurately deflect the thrust force of the […]

The advent of interfacing with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) on multi-user touch tables presents an opportunity for greater involvement and collaboration in marine conservation planning. However, there is limited research on the effectiveness of collaborative GIS in small groups for Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) for conservation. The research focuses on two case studies in British […]
