Indoor air quality has received immense attention in past decades, considering it is more heavily polluted than outdoor environments. People generally spend more than 80% of their time indoors, which contributes to a higher risk of inhaling pollutants. Air cleaning is the most feasible way to improve indoor air quality. Most of indoor air […]

  Metabolic syndrome is a clustering of risk factors that increases the risk of developing heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Exercise improves these risk factors, but it is difficult to get people to engage in lifestyle changes. We will test the effectiveness of prescribed exercise to improve fitness and cardiovascular risk factors in a […]

  Ultraviolet (UV) disinfection has been widely applied for drinking water and wastewater treatments because of its effective inactivation of many waterborne pathogens and its minimal formation of disinfection by-products. All UV disinfection systems for public water services need validation to ensure their inactivation performances meet the regulation requirements. The most implemented method for validation is biodosimetry, which involves […]

  Canada is committed to reducing the level of acid gas and toxic emissions from its coal burning or cement production plants. Since many airborne particles of less than 1 micrometer in diameter are toxic and hazardous for human respiratory system, special environmental concerns are directed towards controlling the emission of ultrafine particles. Wet and […]

This project aims at developing a computerized system for spine diagnosis. This system will improve the efficiency and efficacy of radiologists to diagnose patients’ spine problems. The development of the system involves devising a set of tailor-made mathematical formulation. These formulation are grounded on the state-of-the-art computer vision algorithms and they are capable of capturing […]

    Failure to follow self-care recommendations for chronic heart failure (CHF) not only threatens patients’ lives and well-being, but is costly to the health care system. Most approaches to increasing patient compliance are based on the assumption that individuals will adhere w hen armed  with information about “what” (to do) and “why” (they should do it). We […]

ATB Financial is a large Alberta based full service financial institution. The Card Services department was formed 5 years ago and is growing rapidly. The Card Strategy team within Card Services is developing models and processes to manage marketing campaigns, credit risk management, collections and fraud effectively. The intern will support the team by providing […]

  Emerging contaminants in drinking water are coming under increasing scrutiny as hazards to human and aquatic health. These compounds include pharmaceuticals, industrial chemicals, Endocrine Disrupting Compounds, and others. At present, the technologies for treating these compounds are costly and inefficient. Photocatalysis has been identified as a promising technique for treating these emerging contaminants in […]

  CrossWing Inc. has been developing a service robotics platform called VirtualMe, which is a multifunctional mobile robot base that can be configured for many applications. CrossWing is attempting to have the VirtualMe used as an interactive guide/mascot for convention settings. The goal of this project is to develop autonomous navigation capabilities for VirtualMe that […]

Crosswell seismic tomography is a geophysical survey method in which the propagation of sound waves through the Earth’s crust is used to infer geological structure. An array of acoustic sources and receivers are placed into two separate boreholes, and full waveform recordings are made of the response to each source, measured at each of the […]

Financial markets today are monitored and controlled by artificial intelligent algorithms. Developing these artificial intelligent algorithms requires a large amount of testing against complex patterns and phenomena observed in stock market. The main objective of the proposed project is the development of a market simulator. This is highly challenging and yet promising direction that will […]

  ATB Financial is a large Alberta based full service financial institution. The Card Services department was formed 6 years ago and is growing rapidly. The Card Strategy team within Card Services is developing models and processes to effectively manage marketing campaigns, collections and fraud. The primary objective of this program is a detailed cost/benefit […]
