A Step Towards a Lower Carbon Future: Integrating Closed Loop Geothermal Technology in District Cooling Applications

This research aims to provide an affordable, clean energy alternative to meet the world’s cooling demands. As global warming, urbanization, and society’s dependency on digital storage increases, the world’s cooling demands continue to rapidly grow with predictions showing that they will outweigh heating demands by 2060. The majority of these demands are currently being met […]

Controlling the Recoil of .50 Calibre Sniper Rifle

A novel approach is taken to reduce vibration through the design of a passive smart device with the use of magnetic actuators. In the proposed device, magnets are arranged in a particular alignment, so as to attenuate the resulting vibrations from the explosion at the moment of firing. The device has shown to be effective […]

Part 2 (extension): Long-term evaluation of corticosteroid-releasing formulations to suppress implant device- related foreign body reactions and fibrosis

Implanted medical devices have dramatically improved the lives of millions of patients worldwide. However, in many cases, the body’s immune system rejects these devices and encapsulates the implant in fibrous scar tissue. This reaction is most detrimental to sensors for continuous monitoring and treatment of chronic conditions such as diabetes and those of the central […]

Decentralized Deep Radiomics: Scaling up the discovery of prognostic and predictive cancer imaging biomarkers from routine clinical data across a network of hospitals

Genetic advances over the past 10 years have led to the development of several targeted therapies for lung, breast and colon cancer. However, there are a number of factors that limit the optimal use of these innovations, including the high cost of the organizational process associated with molecular testing, and their late use in the […]

Portable Low-cost Fast Impedance-based Point-of-care Diagnostic Device for COVID-19

COVID-19 has significantly impacted the world. Nucleic acid, CT, and fever tests are standard tests, but they suffer from various limitations. For instance, CT requires large & expensive equipment. The nucleic acid test is not portable and takes at least two days. As sensor technologies get more advanced, a portable, low-cost and fast diagnosis COVID-19 […]

A Context-Aware Topic Analysis Framework

Online social networks model and operate primarily on explicit relationships between people. However, many high-value social activities are not mediated by relationships of this kind. Instead, people who may not know each other nonetheless co-ordinate their activities because they attend to similar cues in their cultural environment. This research work aims at exploring ways to […]

Multiproduct production routing problem under vehicle capacity uncertainty

This project aims at providing new and tractable models and solution procedures to optimize production, inventory, distribution and routing decisions simultaneously. This type of problem, commonly called Production Routing Problem (PRP), is especially important in the context of Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI), in which the supplier manages the inventories of retailers and decides on the […]

The Black Equity in Alberta Rainforest (The B.E.A.R)

Anti-Black racism presents a major barrier in the social participation of African Caribbean Black (ACB) Canadians in civic leadership, arts and culture, and employment, as well as barriers to justice as negative relationships are created between communities and criminal justice systems. Resulting barriers and negative relationships are structural drivers of health inequity. In response, the […]
