The main purpose of the internship is to research and create a product that can be used by insurance companies to streamline their claim processing pipeline. The task is to take images and text provided in an insurance claim and generate a prediction for the cost to repair the damage that is closer to the […]

Historiquement, la science actuarielle a développé des techniques de modélisation appropriées pour la tarification, le provisionnement et la gestion des risques pour ne nommer que quelques domaines. Depuis quelques années, toutefois, de nouvelles techniques potentiellement prometteuses sont disponibles et commencent à émerger dans l’industrie de l’assurance. Portées par l’engouement de certaines communautés scientifiques, l’apprentissage statistique […]

Plus encore, la qualité de l’air intérieur a un grand impact sur la santé des habitants humains. L ’objectif de ce projet est de concevoir […]

The intern’s study builds on an international survey previously completed in partnership with ICLEI. The study aims to test key structural features in the partnerships for implementing community sustainability plans and how these features are related to plan outcomes (i.e., sustainability progress). To study structure features, the intern will test key factors, such as partner […]

Dispersin B is an enzyme that both inhibits and disperses bacterial biofilms. Kane Biotech Inc. has expressed this enzyme protein in E. coli, with the goal of developing Dispersin B based products. Dispersin B yield and cost […]

Extem supplies research grade mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and is looking to differentiate themselves by providing a proprietary human-derived growth media to replace the cow-derived fetal bovine serum (FBS) typically used. Pooled platelet lysate (PPL) may be a viable alternative. However, existing PPL methods lack quality control, standardization, and can result in up to 50% […]

In western Canada, increased nutrient demand associated with decreased temperatures and increased fetal growth may lead to nutrient deficiencies in pregnant cattle. Compromised maternal nutrition can impact fetal muscle development, body weight gain, hot carcass weight, back fat and marbling. Vaccination strategy may also impact carcass outcomes of the offspring. Carcass evaluation is necessary to […]

Unlike services provided by current mobile networks only focus on voice and data, the services provided by 5G networks can range from high data rate services (e.g., VR) to ultra-reliable low latency communication (e.g., vehicle communication). Therefore, a more flexible and effective 5G mobile network is expected to be designed and operated. Network virtualization and […]

Several customer satisfaction problems are identified in service industry as the causes of inefficiencies, and then further they could potentially lead to value destruction and loss of competitiveness. Such emerging organizational threats can be turned into opportunities by integrating a customer satisfaction management module into the existing operating software tool. The objective is to develop […]

Les changements climatiques sont une réalité qui pousse l’industrie automobile à tenter de réduire leur empreinte écologique. De nouvelles normes environnementales obligent la réduction de consommation en carburant des nouveaux véhicules et les compagnies manufacturières se tournent dorénavant vers l’utilisation de matériaux composites légers pour des applications structurelles. L’objectif du projet de recherche est de […]

The emission of methane, which has the ability to trap heat 25 times more than carbon dioxide, is lost during dairy manure processing and storage in lagoons before land application. The proposed research shall evaluate for the first time three new methods of reducing these emissions. The methods that shall be investigated include a novel […]

The vein-hosted gold deposits in the Bissett area of SE Manitoba have long produced significant amounts of gold and the area has the potential for future substantial discoveries. Given the strong structural control on ore formation, a concerted research effort has been conducted on the structural geology of the deposits. However, there are several outstanding […]
