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 central venous catheter (CVC) is a thin, silicone tube that a doctor may insert into the vein of a patient to deliver medications directly into their bloodstream. If the patient does not need constant medication, nurses fill the CVC with salt water to keep the tube open. This is called ‘locking’ the CVC. Because […]

Closing the Gap Healthcare has been delivering high-quality health care in communities since 1990. Closing the Gap (CTG) offers a range of services for clients of all ages and are a leader in complex care cases. The Centre for Mobile Innovation (CMI) at Sheridan College has collaborated with CTG and is in the process of […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
