Le dépistage de la fièvre et des autres facteurs reliés à la COVID-19 à l’aide de l’intelligence artificielle et projeté en réalité augmentée pour assister les ressources médicales sur le terrain.

The intern will enhance a module of the CZSaw Visual Analytics system. The module is called the Script, and the enhancement will provide “semantic zoom” on the Script (when zoomed out, details are hidden, or replaced by summaries of them). Refinements will include (1) enabling the user to adjust the parameters by which the zoom […]

In light of disruptions caused by COVID-19, companies employing frontline workers must balance health and safety with maintaining productivity to survive and thrive in an unpredictable economic climate. This picture is complicated by the need for rapid learning in new, redeployed, and longstanding employees. How is workplace learning impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and how […]

The purpose of the project is to compare how well the neuro-compensator (NC) hearing aid restores various aspects of auditory perception relative to a standard technology used in the industry, called wide-dynamic range compression (WDRC). Specifically, the intern will test individuals on their ability to comprehend speech, to make fine discriminations of musical sounds, and […]

As a high-value crop, apples are intensively managed with much of this management being associated with yield estimates. Currently, estimates are done manually by experience farmers and by Scotian Gold experts. Unfortunately, this results in costly estimates that vary in their quality from farm to farm and between apple varieties. A system that can provide […]

Fast development of more powerful and smaller mobile electronics suggested the need for development of sustainable energy resources as well as innovative sensor systems with improved accuracy and reduced power consumption. Moreover, utilizing appropriate sustainable energy resources would be beneficial for environmental protection. Such demands resulted in a great interest toward development of the triboelectric […]

There currently are no approved treatments for COVID-19, as global case counts increase daily. High infectivity and long time-to-recovery for COVID-19 cases is straining health-care systems globally. There is an urgent need to discover therapeutics that treat patients and improve clinical outcomes. Research and Development timelines associated with vaccines and new chemical entities will not […]

Canaliser la valeur des matières abondantes gaspillées et les recycler afin d’obtenir une meilleure qualité de l’air et un chauffage plus abordable pour tous les citoyens.

The overall objective of this project is to enhance the strengthening efficiency of prestressed hollow-core slabs (PHCS) by using prestressed CFRP plates. More specifically, this project aims to investigate the behavior of the PHCS elements strengthened with prestressed CFRP plates. The application of the innovative patented anchor system developed at the University of Waterloo offers […]
