The progression of bacterial antimicrobials resistance (AMR) has led us to an era that urgently requires alternative antimicrobial therapies. Metal-based antimicrobials (MBA) are increasingly seen as part of the solution. Several metals are already extensively used to prevent and treatment of infections. Silver/copper ionizers are presently used to control pathogens in Canadian hospital water distributions […]

The current workflow for COVID-19 testing is overwhelmed for many reasons including the need for time-consuming sample preparation, the limited availability of test reagent, and the length of time it takes to complete the test process (approximately 3 hours). As the test-and-trace approach is critical to containing the spread of this virus, rapid diagnostics are […]

Alberta’s oil sands are one of the world’s largest known hydrocarbon deposits. Currently, Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) is the commercial recovery method of choice. This requires large amounts of steam to be injected into the oil sands reservoirs, resulting in steam loss to the overburden. Companies continue to expand operations with new pad development. […]

The goal of the current proposal is to use Classical Test Theory and polytomous Item Response Theory models in order to revise a personality-based assessment and create a computer adaptive test of personality for the partner organization and to make recommendations for future personality researchers. The intern will plan and conduct a validation study using […]

An important concept in industry and science is the occurrence of rare events: events that occur with low probabilities but have significant impacts. Examples of rare events include the chance of an automobile insurance holder filing a claim or credit card accounts are compromised. The proposed project investigates applications of machine learning algorithms in the […]

In this project, a novel Wireless Power Transmission Integrated Circuit (“WPTIC”) system capable of simultaneous power transmission to multiple devices at varying power needs and distances, through objects of various materials and densities are going to be developed. This system can be obtained by an innovative circuits and antennas structure to model and control the […]

Ce projet a pour but d’étudier les impacts des changements climatiques sur les modèles de conception des liaisons hertziennes basés sur les recommandations de l’ITU (International Telecommunication Union). Ces paramètres comme la pluie, le gradient de réfractivité de l’atmosphère et la température sont sujets à des variations saisonnières. De plus, dans le contexte des changements […]

Business has picked up since COVID began, but it is necessary for VOG to continue to build the sales pipeline to ensure long term viability. A large part of this funnel is from several projects being teed up by our largest financial client. These projects are crucial to Vog’s continued success as they would not […]

In March 2020, the new human coronavirus disease COVID-19 was declared a pandemic. As of May 21, 2020, the World Health Organization has reported over 4.8 million confirmed cases, including over 323,000 deaths worldwide. Only in Canada, the number of confirmed infections and deaths have reached over 80,000 and 6,000, respectively. Apart from the elevated […]
