AMCO requires improvements to the alternate energy systems that cannot be supported by operating profits alone. This project is essential to ensure the company remains viable and that the company does not shut down the Biomass Plant and absorb such debt in its current operations. The project will increase the amount of green energy […]

  Automation of medical diagnosis/detection process is very important in terms of enhancing diagnostic accuracy, increasing throughput, reducing cost, and training new staff. In this project we are interested to investigate the usage of intelligent decision support techniques to automate the diagnosis/detection process of active tuberculosis. Smart tools for medical applications have high importance and […]

The game user research field has been increasingly gaining popularity within the video game industry that is interested in applying scientific research to better understand their audiences and optimize the quality of their game experiences. Quantitative approaches are important due to their utility in generating non-biased data concerning emotional responses, engagement, and in-game behaviors. This […]

  Septic shock is the most common cause of death in critically ill patients in Intensive Care Units.  The development of septic shock is an extremely complex process involving many different cellular pathways of interacting proteins. One of the main proteins involved in these pathways is called nuclear factor kappa beta (NFκB). This protein controls […]

Whitebark pine is an important high elevation species in BC’s coastal mountains, but it is vulnerable to extinction due to threats such as pest outbreaks and climate change. The species is therefore in dire need of restoration and research to both sustain future populations, and improve scientific knowledge of its ecological functions. The internship involves […]

  By the end of the internship, the students should be able to provide Lancaster Sheet metal (sponsor company) with a valid design for a collapsible intermodal container in order to minimize their shipping costs. As understood from Lancaster Sheet Metal, the company ships its products in intermodal containers, and then the containers are sent […]

  The present project conducts a comprehensive thermodynamic analysis of the compressed air vehicle for its performance assessment and comparison with other types of vehicles, undertakes a life cycle assessment to study material, energy and environmental impact related aspects, investigates the physical limits of the compressed air technology, and develops a feasible conceptual design of […]

  The purpose of this project is to mathematically model the process of electrochemical wastewater treatment in an effort to expedite the formulation of design parameters and increase the viability of such a treatment system. An electrochemical cell is a specific example of a physical system with multiple interfaces. These interfaces are characteristic of systems […]

  The purpose of the survey of the Upper Lynde Creek Watershed for redside dace habitat addresses the ability of current habitat measurements to accurately predict redside dace locations.  The survey will be completed in three phases.  The first phase identifies potential redside dace habitat by using GIS technology.  In addition, landowners are contacted to […]

Television ratings in Canada are collected by BBM Canada, a not-for-profit organization that serves all the major television networks in Canada. Monthly surveys of 30,000 households collect a range of data on demographic variables and television viewing habits. The proposed research is to investigate models that take into account market swings between various modes of […]

  This proposed project is a multidisciplinary study of the evolution of gold mineralization near the Musselwhite mine in the North Caribou terrane, northern Ontario. The objectives of this project are to: (i) To establish the geometry and spatial pattern of the structures that host the mineralization of ore, and further develop process-oriented exploration strategies.
