Parents suffering from toxic stress (depression, addictions, and/or family violence) are often unable to respond sensitively and appropriately to their infants, putting the health and development of their infants at risk. My research evaluates a new parenting program called ATTACH. In ATTACH, parents learn to reflect on how they parent and to better understand their […]

Future broadband cellular systems will require very high throughput data transmission to satisfy ever increasing demands of mobile users for high speed multimedia services. Using innovative approaches to multiantenna transmission/reception and to cooperation of network nodes the achievable data rates can be greatly increased. Two significant obstacles to achieving very high data rates are interference […]

As one of the novel element of a new technology for enhanced recovery and upgrading directly in the reservoir of bitumen and heavy oils, the unit for the online and on-field manufacturing and delivery of nanocatalysts into the reservoir will be constructed during 2015. The specialized and uniquely designed compact device, currently referred to as […]

The main objective of this research project is to obtain an additive helps to increase the cetane number as well as reducing fuel consumption in diesel engines. In the proposed study, we will perform the characterization of available petroleum diesel and analyze their properties. The ethanol based additive later will be added in several different […]

Recently, the nature of media advertising has changed dramatically due to the introduction of highly efficient addressable advertising models. The latter have the ability to deliver different ads during one advertising spot to the viewers of same network, depending on household demographic profiles. The new models provide industry with the opportunity to maximize advertising revenue […]

Sinkhole and ground surface collapse frequently occur in urban areas such as highway, roads or around buildings. Usually the failure process in rather sudden without much evidence or obvious signs. This catches people by surprise and results in accidents, injuries or even death in some cases. From current studies and case analysis, most of the […]

Where observations of air pollution are unavailable, e.g. from emissions of future facilities or in remote areas, air pollution is simulated with computer models. These models require input of emissions from nearby sources but also of background concentrations that are caused by sources outside of the modelling domain, because the domain is limited by computational […]

At present, there is an increasing demand from industries for new generation of interactive technologies to support productivity and minimize time wasted for meeting room set up. In response to this demand, SMART technologies is investing into development of new UC&C technologies. The goal of this research will be the development of a software for […]

Gaming is a multi-billion dollar industry. Canada has a solid footing in the entertainment angle of the industry. There is a growing trend to customize gaming towards education and training. Albatross Gaming Inc. is interested in such a customization that relies on techniques from competency-based learning analytics. Recognizing the skills and strategies of gamers, at […]

Foreign exchange market, also known as Forex is a currency trading market spread all around the globe. There are multiple factors that effect the exchange rates in currency market. Considering these factors in development of a trading algorithm will result in more accurate trading decisions. The proposed research that will be covered by the activities […]

In STEM education, many problem sets require a student to answer a question with a drawing. For example, kinematic physics or statics/dynamics engineering problems often require the student to construct a free-body diagram as a necessary step in the solution. However, when such subjects are taught through online education (such as though a MOOC), most […]
