The design of a perfect hardware accelerator has always amounted to only a moderate victory if poor software support is provided. Hardware accelerators are found in everyday devices and are beginning to take hold in mobile platforms including video codecs to security based hardware solutions. The key to an effective hardware solution is the interface […]

In this project, we will establish biomarkers that objectively reflect the severity of injury, measure its progression, and predict neurologic outcome after acute spinal cord injury (SCI). This will be accomplished by comprehensively analyzing blood and spinal fluid samples from acute SCI patients. In addition, we will conduct a parallel experimental study in a large […]

Enhancement of technology and computer science has helped researchers in multiple fields and industries, from health care to automotive industry. Smoking is one of the habits that could harm humans dramatically. Lung cancer, heart attack is just some of the diseases that come with smoking. A large number of people strive to quit smoking each […]

Le domaine technologique de l’aquaculture est en pleine expansion. De nouveaux instruments d’échantillonnage génèrent beaucoup de données alors l’analyse de celles-ci s’avère un défi important. Les aquiculteurs à travers le monde ont besoin d’être guidés de manière fiable dans leur pratique et les avancements en technologie sont là pour les aider. Dans ce projet, le […]

This research will explore how community organised social entrepreneurship and enterprise can be used to build and strengthen local food systems in the Capital Region of British Columbia. It will ask questions about how effective social entrepreneurship could be in developing warehousing, distribution and processing services that are compatible in scale and quality with community-based […]

We aim to set-up an elementary and practical experimental tool, based on a conjuncture of the reflectance/transmittance and the photothermal deflection spectroscopy experimental approaches, which will be used in order to rapidly acquire the spectral dependence of the optical absorption spectrum corresponding to thin-film-semiconductor-based photovoltaic materials. System calibration will be performed using benchmark thin-film silicon […]

Past and recent earthquake clearly demonstrate that the poor seismic performance of Non-Structural Components (NSCs) can cause the building to lose its functionality, risks the life safety of occupants, and give a rise to huge economic damages even if the structural components have performed well. During past four decades, several analytical methods and empirical equations […]

This proposed research will be held as part of the implementation of an online marketplace for smart assets, project that will be developed at Side Effects Software .The main objectives of this applied research project will be first, trying to predict the performance requirements. Second, estimating the set of queries that need to be performed. […]

This project is part of a research program that will develop a bay-scale cumulative effects monitoring program for eelgrass in Atlantic Canada, adding to work previously completed by the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) and the Northumberland Strait Environmental Monitoring Partnership (NorSt-EMP) in the southern Gulf of St. Lawrence. The proposed research aims […]

Le projet CARIC AUT-703 mobilise quatre PME canadiennes appuyées par deux universités spécialisées en génie, soit l’École Polytechnique de Montréal et l’École de technologie supérieure, afin de développer plusieurs concepts et technologies dans le domaine des drones. Le quatuor d’entreprises fera la démonstration d’un prototype d’hélicoptère sans pilote de catégorie intermédiaire. Située à Saint-Joseph-de-Coleraine au […]

A well-maintained hydration status is important for the well-being of human body. Significant deviation from the proper hydration state, either dehydration or hyper hydration, could lead to neurologic complications or even fatal results. Existing hydration measurement carried out in laboratory settings, such as blood and urine test, though accurate, require both expensive equipment and professional […]

This project is concerns the development of a real-time computational, probabilistic algorithm or artificial intelligence to predict when a scheduled job in a mobile workers job queue is at risk, given the type of jobs in the queue and the historical durations to complete them. In addition, consideration must be given to traffic patterns, and […]
