With a rich acoustic dataset available in the Strait of Georgia (SoG), we propose this research to develop a series of acoustic indicators of productivity for forage (e.g. Pacific herring, mesopelagic fish, euphausiids, zooplankton and ichthyoplankton) and semi-demersal (e.g. Pacific hake and walleye pollock) species within the SoG by using robust multi-frequency techniques. Along with existing time-series of forage species catch from trawl surveys, the acoustic indicators of productivity will be investigated for potential links to marine survival of juvenile salmon in the SoG.

The proposed project contributes to the development of a product for use in public spaces to provide LED lighting which is made interactive through sound responsiveness. This sound responsiveness is made possible through the use of modern micro-computers which can be programmed to use sounds in the environment to create different lighting effects. Unfortunately, this is a difficult task if the environments are noisy. It's a lot like trying to have a conversation during a loud party; a lot of information gets lost.

Health care organizations are working to modernize health care using health information technology. Health information technology has been found to improve the quality of patient care and health care outcomes. Today, it is very important for health information technology professionals to develop high quality and high impact technologies that can support health professionals and patients. Clinical simulations and usability testing are two methodologies that can be used to optimize technologies used in health care.

Stroke is the third leading cause of death in Canada and France, and a major cause of disability world wide. Physiotherapy rehabilitation programs are used to improve movement through neural adaptations, also known as neural plasticity, in stroke patients.

This project is a collaboration between the University of Victoria and Tecnoquímicas S. A., an industry leader in the production of pharmaceutical and household products in South America. The goal of the project is to
psychologically characterize the executive leadership of the company (i.e., CEO’s). Specifically, the intern will utilize and further develop her expertise to help the collaborative team understand how complex cognitive factors
such as intelligence, problem solving, strategic thinking, and creativity relate to one another and predict professional achievement.

This research project regards the rehabilitation programs of stroke patients, and how to improve the understanding of their effectiveness. Although it is recognized that rehabilitation programs help stoke patients with motor recovery, the extent and progression of raw neural adaptation over the rehabilitation process often remains invisible to the physiotherapist, despite the presence of biomedical tools (EMG, EEG, etc) available that can combat said invisibility.

The potential for solar cells as renewable energy sources is increasingly recognized as better devices come to the market. It has been recognized that the use of organic dyes as sensitizers can greatly enhance their performance. As a result, there has been an increased effort to develop new dye-sensitized materials for more efficient light harvesting. In order to optimize the conversion of solar energy into electricity, the surface orientation and conformation of the dye is a critical aspect of its performance.
