Geospatial data (e.g. location of the business branches, fleet of online delivery vehicles) is a crucial part of online marketplaces, as their developers need easy-to-integrate tools that efficiently perform searches across said data. This project will explore novel approaches to improve state-of-the-art searches for objects with geospatial attributes. In this project, interns will develop computer […]

Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) is the most important disease of feedlot cattle, which remains the leading cause of disease-induced economic loss in the Canadian cattle industries. BRD is induced by bacterial pathogens including the Gram-negative (G-) bacteria Mannheimia haemolytica, Pasteurella multocida, and Histophilus somni. Even with current prevention and control measures targeting associated pathogens, the […]

The summer internship student will be responsible for computing, presenting, and performing the verification of the design of the design. Prior to being able to test the usability of the application the signal processing feature must be developed so that it is deployable on a mobile device that first obtains the raw data from the […]

Intersections and road segments will be categorized based on Level of Service (LOS) based performance indicators such as bus travel time and schedule adherence. The outcomes of the analysis will indicate whether a particular intersection needs transit signal priority (TSP) to improve […]

Repurposing existing natural gas pipelines is “a low-cost option for delivering large volumes of hydrogen”, accelerating the realization of full-scale hydrogen economy for energy transition. Hydrogen-steel interactions would induce the so-called hydrogen embrittlement, causing cracking and pipeline failure. The corrosion defect present on the existing pipelines tends to facilitate occurrence of the hydrogen-induced cracking. The […]
