Light electric vehicles such as e-bikes and e-scooters are gaining popularity. However, due to lack of standardization each brand/manufacturer use different battery configurations. Consequently, designing a public charging station for light electric vehicles is a challenge. Moreover, wireless charging of light electric vehicles offers a more elegant and convenient solution. Thus, the goal of the […]

CdZnTe (CZT) semiconductor crystals are used as X-ray detectors in state-of-the-art medical CT scanners. These devices are sensitive to individual X-ray photons and enable tissue selective X-ray imaging with reduced radiation dose to the patient. The CZT detectors function by converting absorbed X-rays into electrical signals that are subsequently analyzed by a computer to make […]

This study focuses on the Pacific herring in the Strait of Georgia, which has seen a significant reduction in its range since the 1980s, without a clear cause. This contraction is concerning due to the herring’s importance to species like the Chinook salmon, which rely on herring as a food source. The research aims to […]

This project isto develop a new website which will provide an infrastructure for non-profit admission. The admission professionals will be using this websites to conduct the interviews, in terms of providing them with the guiding question. The use of check boxes and other visual tools, such as radio buttons, text boxes, etc. will help provide […]

This research project will focus on two popular online communication platforms in China, Weibo, a public microblogging service, and Weixin, a multi-functional, private Instant Messaging application. The two platforms will be compared in the way that they operate as public or private spaces, the influence of interpersonal goals on the interaction in these spaces, and […]

Our research addresses the challenges in solving large-scale parallel machine scheduling, an important combinatorial optimization problem in computer science and operations research. With applications ranging from manufacturing to healthcare and supercomputing, our goal is to provide a real-time solution for instances exceeding 1,000 jobs. In this research, we explore the application of parallel machine scheduling […]

My proposed project aims to determine the extent to which increased vessel traffic in the Canadian Arctic will impact Bowhead Whales and proactively develop mitigation strategies. As Arctic sea ice is lost at an increasing rate due to climate change, the amount of vessel traffic through marine Arctic environments has increased dramatically over the past […]

The partner organization operates in the dynamic electric vehicle (EV) industry, aiming to address the challenge of making light electric vehicles more affordable without compromising performance. This is particularly evident in e-bikes, e-motorcycles, e-scooters, and e-wheelchairs. The high cost of these vehicles, coupled with efficiency challenges, hinders widespread adoption. The project targets the cost and […]

2.1.b. Objectives and approach (the what and the how) obj1: Understanding Healthcare Requirements for Medical Data: Initiate in-depth studies with healthcare professionals to understand their specific needs for visualizing medical data in MR. This could involve examining existing VR solutions in healthcare, and conducting focus groups and interviews with doctors, surgeons, and medical staff to […]

Globally, neurological conditions are the second highest cause of death and the leading cause of disability, affecting 40% of the population to some extent, a number expected to double in the next two decades. The vast landscape of neurological disorders are combated with various approaches: pharmacological, therapeutic, and surgery; however, the WHO warns that with […]

To ensure that PPPH priority projects are developed using the most up-to-date evidence and to increase the likelihood of project success, evidence synthesis will be crucial in facilitating a deeper understanding of community health issues, the contributing factors, associated health inequities, and appropriate interventions to improve health outcomes. The objective of this project is to […]

The practice of mining creates visible and invisible legacies on lands and livelihoods. In Canada, the mining industry has left a large footprint on the landscape, whose recovery is required through ecological restoration actions. However, current restoration practices face the pressure of adapting to a changing climate while also taking into account the relationships people […]
