THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

This MITACS and its proposed support of interns is designed to expand an ongoing collaboration that exists between Baffinland Iron Mines Corporation, Environment Canada, aboriginal Wildlife Co-Management Boards, and academic collaborators. Together the group will collectively address several marine wildlife issues using a diversity of innovative research techniques including wildlife tracking devices attached to seabirds, […]

Overhead lines (OHL) and other components of the electricity transmission network are designated as critical infrastructures. In order to provide the level of performance required of such facilities, efficient asset management practices must be tailored to the specific characteristics of these assets. The proposed research aims to develop such a process for OHL equipped with […]

The food distribution chain plays a crucial role in sustainable development, connecting various sectors like agriculture, transportation, and other services resulting to a wide number of both direct and indirect stakeholders. However, it receives less attention despite its vitality for managing sustainability. In these present times, as the society and government demands complete disclosure of […]

This project aims to explore how state-of-the-art deep learning models can accurately identify and label musical sections like the “verse” and “chorus” across various musical genres. The research will begin by examining available datasets for music structural segmentation, as well as recent deep learning methods suitable for this data. Following the exploration of available data […]

Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) is a rare genetic condition that leads to brittle bones and mild to severe bone deformities. People with OI often experience pain, discrimination, fear of breaking bones, and frequent hospitalizations. Because the condition is rare, the experiences of children with OI are not well understood by healthcare providers, who often lack guidelines […]

The proposed research project relates to the development of a flight simulator for the low-cost hobbyist market. The industrial partner has developed a widely-used simulator and is interested in making their simulator more independent of third-party software. This will be done by developing in-house sub-models for the flight physics that calculates the aircraft behaviour while […]

A retrospective cohort study design will be used to determine the population-based incidence of sepsis in infants up to 28 days after birth, and by gestational age in weeks. The project will use BC data from the Perinatal Registry on all births over 16 years, and readmissions up to 28 days after birth. The intern […]

LispLogics specializes in the dynamic optimization and management of bike share operations, encompassing battery swaps, bike relocations, and maintenance of broken bikes, among other tasks. They face significant challenges in accurately analyzing and enhancing their operational efficiency due to the multifactorial nature of their system. Factors such as weather conditions, temperature, the number of trucks […]

The Plasma Resource Recovery System (PRRS), a technology developed by PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (PCI), is a plasma gasification process that turns municipal solid waste (MSW) into energy and other valuable products. During operation in an Electric ArcFurnace (EAF), the MSW is gasified to form syngas which is used to generate electricity. Metals, metals oxides and […]

The projects consist to apply commercially known colour removal technology to a used plasticizers blend produce in Tarkett vinyl sheet flooring plant. Using a continuous packed bed column, the intern will screen the performance and efficiency of several colour and metals removal resins. Following the colour removal experiments, the effect of adding the treated material […]

Our study focuses on improving the design of sports bras for women with larger breasts, who often struggle to find bras that fit well. In this study, we want to understand how different sports bras affect how women feel and breathe during exercise. By studying this, we hope to improve sports bra design and make […]
