A Toolset to facilitate transparent exchange and querying of digitizeddocumen

Digitizing paper records facilitates efficient storage and lookup of information. It is o,lten necessary to support advanced keyword-based querying features that allow extraction of specific information and filtering of digitized documents. However, this often requires manual intervention since records might have vastly different formats even though they essentially contain the same information. This makes digitization […]

Network security and machine learning development projects

The main objectives of this one-year study are to enhance systems in data management and integration in three ways: 1) create secure networks that can support BYOD; 2) create a data pipeline system for ETL; and 3) integrate ML content generation into a content management system. An Agile methodology will be used to plan and […]

Dynamics of Viscous Fingering in Porous Media in the Presence of Injected or In Situ Generated Particles

In general, when a more viscous fluid is displaced by a less viscous one, instabilities grow at the interface between them which are referred to as viscous fingering. Viscous fingering is of paramount importance in many applications including, but not limited to, contamination transport in underground waters, enhanced oil recovery, filtration, and chromatographic separation of […]

Developing a mobile screening tool that could predict impairment by leveraging the power of machine learning models

There is a growing need for law enforcement agencies and safety sensitive workplace environments to be able to evaluate impairment. Impairment due to mental cognitive deficits, drugs or alcohol use, prescription medications, or fatigue could all limit a person’s ability to perform a hazardous task safely. Current testing tools utilize saliva, breath, blood or urine […]

Summer-season streamflow prediction model for the Oldman River Basin

Reliable monthly and seasonal streamflow predictions are essential for optimal planning of water resources, particularly for reservoir operation and planning applications. Streamflow predictions can also improve water use efficiency and provide early drought and flood warning. The importance of streamflow forecasting is rising with climate change, causing more frequent and hazardous flood and drought events. […]

XFEM-based fatigue crack growth simulation and surrogate model development for probabilistic remaining fatigue life prediction of pipelines

Pipelines have significantly contributed to the Canadian energy industry and overall economy. Specifically, nearly 60% of energy consumed in Canada comprises of oil and gas delivered through pipelines. However, in pipeline steel, many failures were caused by cracks during pipeline operation. The proposed research project aims at developing a reliable and effective tool to predict […]

Progressive Cybernetics Decentralized Autonomous Organization (PCDAO)

Digitization of assets is becoming a dominant form of business operations today; the Internet of Things and increased connectedness to consumers and citizens alike is creating a decentralized virtual marketplace for digital services and assets. The potential for sharing technology assets is high due to digitization (the new way of referring to digital transformation). Principles […]

Semisynthetic Strategies for the Production of Cannabinoids from Cannabis Sativa

Although recreational and medicinal marijuana is legal in Canada regulations limit the content of certain cannabinoids, such as ?9-tetrahydrocannabinol (?9THC) in commercially grown strands. With close collaboration with our industrial partner Plantbiois Ltd., this research project will develop methods to produce ?9THC by synthetic conversion from highly abundant cannabinoids in unregulated, low THC strains. We […]
