This project aims to operationalize innovative methods for developing cost effective wetland inventories across Alberta by use of numerous sources of remote sensing data, namely light detection and ranging (LiDAR), synthetic aperture Radar (SAR), and optical imagery. The project will formalize a mapping specification, develop training and validation datasets (available in-kind from the academic supervisor […]

Teck Resources Limited is searching for a method to characterize and quantify the heterogeneity of ore based on numerous parameters. Naturally, when characterizing an ore body’s heterogeneity, the variability in the deposit can contribute towards the sortability of the deposit. The main objective of this research is to investigate a method to quantify the sortability […]

Data centers are now growing and expanding massively. They are large scale and heterogeneous. In addition, they rely more and more on emerging technologies such as Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) with “network softwarization” as their key feature. Moreover, they are now being augmented with edge data centers rooted in concepts […]

Monitoring dairy cows individually around the time of calving and during lactation has the potential to identify calving difficulties or cows at risk of developing disease, as well as cows in estrus to create alerts for dairy farmers. Therefore, there has been an increase in research investigating methods to accurately predict timing of calving, disease […]

Greater physical activity and exercise is associated with better overall health and a reduced risk of many chronic conditions, but most of the Canadian population is insufficiently active. Physicians reach a large proportion of the population but experience barriers such as of time that prevent them from providing tailored exercise advice, as such they are […]

Inspired by patterns in the eye of the moth, nanostructures can be created on the surface of glass, allowing all light to transmit through the glass without any interference. Applied on lenses, low light photography is enhanced. Applied on electronic displays, the technology enables sunlight readable screens. Applied on photovoltaics, more light enters the solar […]

Diabetic Neuropathy is a decrease of the perceptive ability of pressure changes and is a devastating consequence of type two Diabetes. Neuropathy can result in ulcers, infection, amputation, and death. Providing alternative feedback about pressure distributions in the foot is an innovative, low cost way to help reduce high level pressures resulting in ulceration. In […]

Automotive Open System Architecture (AUTOSAR) is a system-level standard that is used worldwide by the automotive companies and their suppliers to develop the standardized software development framework for automobiles [1]. The basic software of AUTOSAR should be configured to develop an Electronic Control Unit (ECU). The information to configure the basic software is given in […]

Xpan Inc. is developing a patent-pending expandable laparoscopic access port device. Xpan needs to develop its proof of concept prototype into a high-fidelity prototype through a series of iterative design, prototyping and benchtop testing. Research must be performed to select appropriate biocompatible material that achieve user requirements. Research must also be performed to evaluate the […]

The most important structure in the human brain is the cerebral cortex. It makes it possible to perceive our visual environment and sounds, to perform motoric actions such as grasping an object, to speak, to understand speech, etc. The cerebral cortex is a 2-5 mm thick sheet, embedded in the skull. Analysis of MRI data […]

Le transport routier est un vieux domaine industriel, qui fait face à une augmentation de production. En effet, les besoins de livraison sont grandissants et la flexibilité qu’offre le transport routier participent au choix de l’utilisation de celui-ci. Or ce secteur ne parvient pas à augmenter considérablement sa productivité et reste le type de transport […]
