Solvent degradation in carbon capture plants due to the influence of fly ash is very costly and requires frequent replacement of the solvent used. Solvent replacement cost is the main hurdle to the deployment of Carbon Capture and Sequestration technologies. The proposed online analytical method would be a great tool in managing daily operations of […]

In this project, a model interpreted by a differential equation system is developed to study two-innovation diffusion. We will examine stability, developing tendency, distribution, bifurcation and other properties of the system depending on different model parameters. We will also investigate the corresponding discrete forms of the system and compare the obtained results. Both approaches of […]

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a 3rd leading cause of death (1) which decreases lung function due to irreversible airway obstruction. The main indicator of the progression of COPD is a rate of the forced expiratory volume of 1 second (FEV1) decline. The intern will build the prediction model for the slope of FEV1 […]

This project is developed to leverage 3D printing to fabricate personnel protective equipment and other products that can help us navigate the COVID 19 pandemic. 3D printing can be used to quickly fabricate a design idea, but it is a slow process, and there is some inherent porosity, so using this process to make masks […]

The proposed research project to be undertaken by the interns involves laboratory measurement of the filtration efficiency and pressure drop of fabric-based filtration media. Results of these experiments will inform the selection of filtration media used by the partner organization for mass production of made-in-Alberta masks for protection of the public against viral transmission. Such […]

Alberta’s Oil and Gas (O&G) sector plays a critical role in Canada meeting its commitment to the Paris Climate Change Agreement. However, few studies published the actual operation data for extraction operations (schemes), especially fuel consumption data to accurately project greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for development and expansion of O&G projects. In this study, we […]

Polymer electrolyte fuel cells are a key technology in the race against climate challenge, and while commercial applications are increasingly common, challenges remain in cost, performance, and durability. Most of the issues that prevent full commercialization affect the catalyst layer, the region where the power-generating electrochemical reactions take place, like the oxygen reduction reaction. This […]

Le projet proposé vise à développer des architectures d’apprentissage profond pour analyser divers types d’images d’observation de la Terre utilisées par Effigis. Il est divisé en trois sous-projets, visant chacun un type d’images et d’applications associées. Le premier sous-projet concerne l’identification des bâtiments sur les images satellites à très haute résolution (30 – 50 cm) […]

Aphasia is an impairment of language caused by an injury to the brain. Word finding difficulties often accompany aphasia and can persist even after intensive speech therapy, having a negative impact on the person’s social participation and quality of life. Today’s communication aids can improve the ability to effectively communicate but findings from focus groups […]

This project supports development of a laser-based sensor capable of accurately measuring methane releases from oil and gas wells, an important source of greenhouse gas emissions. This sensor will lead to a more accurate understanding of greenhouse gas emissions and enable mitigation actions in the upstream oil and gas industry. This is a critical step […]
