Contamination in soil and groundwater tends to be overlooked since their adverse impact does not appear exteriorly and instantaneously. However, the contaminants could potentially cause adverse impact on vegetation and human health by migrating off the contaminated site through groundwater flow, and also influence climate change through cycling of elements. In the past few years, […]

Contamination in soil and groundwater tends to be overlooked since their adverse impact does not appear exteriorly and instantaneously. However, the contaminants could potentially cause adverse impact on vegetation and human health by migrating off the contaminated site through groundwater flow, and also influence climate change through cycling of elements. Recently, demand for remediation of […]

This research project is aimed at developing a multi-sensor system based on an unmanned aerial vehicle for characterizing soil micro-topography in agricultural fields. The system will be benefit from both passive imaging and active ranging technologies, respectively, based on an optical digital camera and a LiDAR sensor. Accurate and complete elevation measurements are essential for […]

Noise interference is often a major challenge in signal recognition. In this project, our goal is to monitor ground and infrastructure movement based on data acquired using smart sensor technology. While related works have been extensively discussed in the literature, our contribution lies in exploring a reverse engineering procedure to remove noise from raw captured […]

Modern roundabouts have become a subject of great interest and attention over the last few years. Compared to regular signalized intersections, roundabouts have the potential to reduce vehicular delay & emissions and increase safety. The objectives of this study is to conduct an in depth analysis to examine the short and long term benefits of […]

Data-Over-Cable Service Interface Specifications (DOCSIS) 3.1 is a technology that utilizes orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) technology to provide downstream (DS) transmission capacities of up to 10 gigabits per seconds (Gbps), as well as orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) technology to provide upstream (US) transmission capacities of up to 1 Gbps per channel. Full duplex (FDX) […]

International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for loss allowances are changing, and financial institutions are proactively adapting existing methodologies and developing new ones to remain compliant. The main ingredient in the myriad of evaluations that banks are required to perform for compliance is risk assessment. The first goal of this research project is to review best […]

The project examines the use of recycled plastics sourced from waste landfills for construction and infrastructure applications such as fence panels, an idea developed by EcoFence. Through the course of this project a comprehensive study is conducted to evaluate the mechanical and physical characteristics, such as strength and sound absorption. The measured data is compared […]

For the management of neuromuscular disorders (NMD), subcutaneous immunoglobulin (SCIg) administration has become an alternate option, being a home-based alternative to conventional intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg), with a comparable efficacy, minimum adverse effects and significant improvement to the quality of life. With the increased cost of healthcare management, it has become more challenging for clinicians and […]

Unconventional oil and gas resources are currently a significant portion of global oil and gas production and it is anticipated to continue its growth as production from conventional resources decline. Unconventional oil and gas resources include low permeability (“tight” resources e.g. shale), heavy oil and oil sands reservoirs amongst others. Economic and responsible development of […]

High frequency millimeter-waves are quickly becoming essential for many industrial and commercial applications including high resolution automotive radar and high-speed wireless communication systems. While millimeterwaves offer many benefits, they also introduce new engineering challenges, due to the smaller wavelengths and dielectric properties of materials at high frequencies. One of the primary challenges relates to the […]
