Their flagship solution, Searchlight, proactively monitors, identifies and alerts investigators of suspicious activity at ATMs to reduce fraud and improve customer experience. Solink’s current ATM Skimming detection product (Searchlight) analyzes both transaction and video at an ATM to detect suspicious […]

  Water quality is critical for a many human activities. With respect to recreational water, a particular type of water source, there are often relatively high levels of microbial contamination in relation to other types of water sources (e.g., drinking water). E. coli is used as a microbial indicator for water quality because E. coli […]

  Linking societal impacts to research outputs is important for researchers, research funders and research organizations, in order to capture and attribute those less obvious, intangible uses of research. Understanding the process of research use and how it emerges as impact are poorly understood when the use of research is not directly linked to a […]

  This project will test pilot the newly developed Community Capital Tool (CCT) in the District of Sechelt. The CCT has been designed to guide and evaluate municipal level community development initiatives and decisions through a sustainability lens. In Sechelt the CCT will be used to assess the community’s newly adopted Sustainability Action Plan to […]

The project is about analyzing the Technology Industry in British Columbia. The study helps predict the British Columbia (BC) technology labour market through quantitative and qualitative analysis of answered questionnaires from technology companies in BC. A report summarizing the findings will be submitted to Cindy Pearson, COO of BCTIA by the end of December. In […]

Antipsychotic medication is associated with a constellation of metabolic abnormalities, including weight gain, an imbalance between glucose and insulin actions, and higher than normal lipid content. In particular, adolescent psychiatric patients are at increased risk for Type II Diabetes and cardiovascular disease when undergoing therapeutic treatment. Current analysis indicates that antipsychotic drugs have differing effects […]

    Travel time information is used by many jurisdictions to assess the future directions and strategic improvement requirements of specific segments of provincial highways and justify, prioritize, and program new operational and capital work projects and monitor the results after completion. The Ministry of Transportation Ontario (MTO) conducts Travel Time Studies for a series […]

  In airline crew scheduling a pilot is assigned a series flights to operate. This series is called a pairing. These pairings need to cover all flights which the airline intends to operate and conform to a set of complex rules and regulations. If these pairings are not designed properly the airline will face high […]

  One of the major obstacles that hinders the adaption of the digital pathology solutions is the inadequate performance and network overload for pathology image storage and retrieval. A common technical problem is the limited bandwidth of the network and the delayed  transmission speed of digital images to the viewing station. There is an urgent […]

  Sexual offending is a major public health concern in our society, with 21% of those charged with sexual offenses being adolescents between 12 and 19 years. Characteristics of these youth include antisocial attitudes, and problems with self-regulation and intimacy, problems that interfere with learning, social maturation, and appreciating the rights of others. To date, […]

  I have recently developed a piece of software that can be used to interpret the effects of DNA sequence differences in human genomes. The analysis produces results that predict disease mutations. Dr. Rogan’s laboratory has developed approaches of visualizing DNA sequence data, which I will incorporate into this software. I will modify the existing […]

  A mathematical model is to be developed that describes how oxygen can move in a point-of-care blood gas sensor. The sensor measures the partial pressure of oxygen in a blood sample. Oxygen can move throughout the cartridge by diffusing through the various materials that make up the cartridge. The extent to which the oxygen […]
