An embedded software system is a software system that is part of a larger system composed of software and hardware elements and that often have to react in real-time to its environment. The cruise control in a car, or the auto-pilot in an aircraft are typical examples of embedded software systems. Embedded software systems are pervasive […]

  Immigration is changing Canada. Yet the successful integration of new immigrants is a task rife with challenges. My research will focus on the delivery of services in smaller urban communities as well rural and remote centres, with a specific focus on the South-Okanagan- Similkameen, a region in the southern interior of British Columbia. My […]

Various waves of immigration have altered the profiles of Muslim communities in Alberta demanding a need for better data and information for both short and long term planning of services and infrastructure.  This need poses challenges not only to individual civil society organizations, but also to cross-organization coalitions seeking to build common ground upon which […]

  The absolute phase is a new mathematical concept that can provide new information about a wireless channel. It holds great promise for extracting new information such as the location of a user, such as a cell phone without the need for GPS, etc. New theoretical work has been published which describes the mathematics of […]

  This particular project pertains to the development of a proprietary algorithm that will source product reviews from sites like Goodguide.com, Ecologo.org, Gengreenlife.com and Zumer.com to breakdown a product’s environmental impact by analyzing and weighing variants such as social responsibility, materials, production facilities, location, transport, packaging and disposal.  EcoMeter will also allow consumers to customize […]

  This unique approach to product and process design involves 2 intimately associated activities: development of novel structured composite materials (SCM) in the form of latexes; and the related design of a coagulator to tailor the final particle size distribution of the composite latex particles. If produced correctly, SCM can provide society with useful, valuable […]

  The purpose of this proposed research is to determine a mechanism (i.e. information posted on an appropriate website) to assist consumers with the selection of a vitamin/mineral supplement.  The principles to be considered are: appropriate dosage, product quality, high benefit, and low risk. The Dietitians of Canada have agreed to contribute funds for this […]

  The main objective of this research project is to determine if there are factors that can be used to predict future demand for StemCell Technologies products more accurately than current practices of extrapolated revenue growth.  This will require an in-depth study into StemCell’s demand management, forecasting and supply chain planning functions.  The completion of […]

  As part of ongoing collaboration with Pacific Rim National Park Reserve, the intern will engage in the first phase of a 5-year dune restoration effort at Wickaninnish Beach near Ucluelet, B.C.  Invasive beach grass (Ammophila spp.) was introduced to stabilize the dunes in the 1940s and has since colonized the fore dunes, reduced active […]

The project is aimed to establish and algorithm and computer software for generation of multiple time series of data which represent processes that are closely correlated and auto-correlated (i.e. data in time step i are correlated to the data in time steps i-1, i-2,i-3, etc.). This project is of significant importance to the company.  It […]

  To mitigate failures of large assets, companies sometimes practice condition-based maintenance. This involves inspecting a machine, gathering information on its health, and deciding whether it is more cost effective to perform some preventative maintenance on it, or to leave it alone until the next inspection. Condition-based maintenance is centered around the inspections that are […]

  Allerta is a brand new consumer electronics design firm, focused solely on creating cutting edge mobile accessories that mesh seamlessly with Smartphone’s and a mobile lifestyle. Allerta is currently working on the second generation of its flagship product, inPulse – a wristwatch that connects wirelessly to a Smartphone allowing the user to view important […]
