Notre but est d’améliorer la capacité des compagnies à concevoir et entretenir des jeux vidéo multijoueur en utilisant les théories développées par les écologistes pour comprendre le comportement des animaux (par exemple pour comprendre pourquoi les lions préfèrent chasser en groupe plutôt que seul). Nous analyserons les tactiques de jeu utilisées par les joueurs dans […]

Mathematical modeling is a powerful tool to understand fluid flow mechanisms, well performance and future resources recovery in petroleum industry. Better and more powerful tool can lead to better reservoir management and more oil production with less cost and less environmental impact. This project, collaborating with Saskatchewan Research Council, aims to improve the current mathematical […]

Ultra-reliable and low latency communication is increasingly an important aspect of future wireless communications. Specifically, in the context of mission critical communications for large-scale networks of sensors and actuators in automated and/or remote-control applications, low-latency wireless communication with high level of determinism is a vital element. The key performance indicators for such use case are […]

Heart’s electrical activities are traditionally collected by employing multiple electrodes that are connected the patient’s body and collected and recorded on an electrocardiogram. The objective of this project is to enhance the patient’s comfort and allow for a continues ECG monitoring with improved flexibility while minimizing the sacrifices of detected and accumulated data. In this […]

Research problem: Reclamation practices in regions known to be undergoing rapid climate change must consider what adaptive measures could be implemented to maximize short-term reclamation success and long-term resilience of reclaimed sites. Objectives: I will investigate how a multi-scale ecological classification system can be used to predict regeneration success of different forest tree species at […]

The project aims at accomplishing the real-time delineation of both Seismocardiogram and Gyrocardiogram signals (which are associated with different stages of the cardiovascular cycle) and effectively extracting cardiac performance metrics (fiducial points) for use in a non-invasive portable diagnostic tool as the deviations of the either timing or amplitude can be indicative of abnormality in […]

When we research the knowledge of the past, we also research the conditions of possibility for different futures (Foucault, 2003; Peers, 2015). Therefore, the purpose of this research project is to use the traces of the past to question the practices that have come to be naturalized within Alberta’s recreation system (e.g., providing pay-per-use recreation […]

Homes for Mental Health, Inc. This initiative has three main goals: to assist mental health consumers in the recovery process by providing access to physical health activities, to raise awareness in the community at large about mental health issues, and to provide a unique walking race experience for athletes and amateurs alike. The study will […]

We recently developed a rapid and cost-effective pre-clinical technology that is well suited for precision medicine –the ex ovo chicken embryo ChorioAllantoic Membrane (CAM) assay. Our goal is to perform a pilot study that combines tumor genotyping data and the use of personalized CAMavatars, to predict drug sensitivity in renal cancer patients and to test […]

Globally cities are expanding and this has a negative impact on natural systems. Green infrastructure (GI), such as green roofs, retention ponds, or urban tree canopies, is used to mitigate the impacts of extreme weather and provide resources for people in the city. However, GI can also provide a benefit for native species and wildlife […]

Anaerobic digestion of waste for biological methane and hydrogen production can be a sustainable source of renewable energy as well as an efficient waste management technique. Significant research efforts on digester design, process enhancement, and odors control are vital. In 2009, US Peroxide (a wholly owned subsidiary of Trojan Technologies) developed the peroxide regenerated iron […]

We now live in a world where people can communicate, in real-time, both directly and remotely (e.g., Skype); and where new technologies (e.g., virtual reality, robots, driverless cars) are blurring the traditional lines of human-human and human-computer interactions. The digital world of industry is experiencing a revolution. Products that have traditionally been displayed on computer […]
