Pneumonia remains the single leading cause of childhood death under age 5 worldwide. The price per dose of current vaccines is high and supply is limited due to a complex manufacturing process and low yield, significantly reducing its distribution in developing nations. A newly patented vacuo dry-glycation process promises much higher efficacy than the conjugation […]

Humans recognise objects in the world leveraging multi-modal sensory inputs beyond visual aspects (images and videos). Touch based information (Haptics) possesses rich information about structure, shape and other objetness properties. In this work, we will study and learn cross-modal representations between vision and touch. To connect vision and touch, we plan to introduce a zero […]

One of the main challenges in tree fruit orchards is to accurately predict apple yield and identify the health of individual trees (e.g., healthy foliage, fruit development, detecting and identifying diseased trees). Manual performance of these tasks is labour intensive and costly. Therefore, automated processes provide novel solutions with enhanced accuracy, efficiency, and productivity. The […]

Au cours des dernières années, CAM Solutions a remarqué que plusieurs de ses clients. des usines munies de machines à commande numérique (CNC), éprouvent systématiquement de la difficulté à les faire fonctionner à pleine capacité et selon un horaire établi. En effet, l’apparition constante de pannes et de problèmes imprévus nuit à la performance de […]

Horizontal directional drilling (HDD) is a steerable trenchless construction method adapted in the 1970’s from the horizontal oil well drilling technology. HDD has become a very successful worldwide technology for trenchless utility and pipeline installations becoming an annual multi-billion dollar industry across five continents. The HDD process involves considerable risks based on many hazards and […]

A rapid increase in the number of Asian international students attending K-12 schools has led to the investigation of the complex, multi-layered aspects of the life experience and needs of Asian international students in Ontario schools. Working closely with View-Wide International Education Group and using multiple case studies, this study will explore the factor of […]

In this self-contained project we will investigate how machine learning can be applied to help provide personalized financial advice. Machine learning is a term that designates types of artificial intelligence that rely on learning behaviors from data or experience. Specifically, the goal of this work is to apply machine learning to Servus Credit Union’s Noble […]

Utility planners require an understanding of how and when energy is used among their customers. Hourly “load shapes”, that represent facility electricity of natural gas use for each hour of the year, often disaggregated into individual “end-uses” such as space heating, lighting or water heating are the most detailed information of this type typically available […]

L’avènement de la quatrième révolution industrielle incite les organisations à revoir leurs pratiques afin d’outiller leurs membres quant à leur façon de travailler ensemble (McKinsey Global Institute, 2018). Cette nouvelle réalité fait ressortir le besoin de disposer de moyens de développement adaptés à la complexité et à la diversité des contextes des travailleurs. Face au […]

The Rural Asset Management in a Changing Climate (RMACC) project will develop asset management capacity and guide the implementation of asset management plans and policies that account for future challenges posed by climate change with a cohort of five small municipalities. The objective of the project is to perform asset management planning in a comprehensive […]

The aim of this 2-year project is to do research to inform the development of, and fully test and develop a mobile application designed to improve the experience of (particularly at-risk) post-secondary (PSE) students in addressing COVID-19-related issues. Our key concern is that COVID-19 has not only disrupted important and significant developmental experiences that improve […]

Hydra Energy Corporation Commercial Demonstration Project based in Prince George, British Columbia 12.4 MT/day of waste hydrogen will be captured, purified and transported to an onsite hydrogen refueling station from which Class 8 tractor-trailer truck fleets will refuel daily. Hydra’s demonstration project can provide a significant reduction in fleet greenhouse gas(GHG) emissions, Particulate Matter and […]
