This research will explore how the annual migration of small insects known as water boatmen affect fish in rivers. It will first use natural fingerprints called stable isotope ratios that differ between wetlands and rivers, to trace how much of fish diet is made up of water boatmen after they arrive in rivers from wetlands […]

The project is concerned with delivering a real-world joint perception prediction and tracking system that outperforms the current system implemented in the Uber ATG software stack. This will be achieved by implementing a production version of a state-of-the-art academic paper developed by the research team, testing it against real world scenarios, and then modifying the […]

Contamination by microorganisms is a well-known problem for commercial ice machines. Frequent applications of sterilizing chemicals are necessary to keep the ice machines sanitary, a costly and time-consuming process. The sources of this contamination are microorganisms associated with the water used as the source for ice production, the incoming air to the ice machine, and […]

Avec l’avènement des véhicules électriques et les énergies photovoltaïques sur les réseaux électriques, il est maintenant requis de convertir l’énergie sous différentes formes. Cette conversion s’effectue par l’utilisation de convertisseurs de puissance qui permettent de relier les différents éléments sur le réseau (batteries d’auto, cellules photovoltaïques,…) Comme élément de contrôle principal, ces convertisseurs utilisent des […]

This research supports the T’Sou-ke Nation to re-establish connections with culturally important native plant species cultivated and stewarded by traditional T’Sou-ke peoples for food, medicine and technology and to store this information in database and maps. The product of this research will be accessed when T’Sou-ke consider both large, economic development projects proposed within their […]

In the MRI-guided stereotactic surgery, a robotic system is applied to assist the efficient workflow, process accuracy and safety. An important issue in the robot system is that the MRI closed-hole design limits its dimensional requirements and flexibility. In this project, a conceptual design will be proposed to reduce the robot size and increase its […]

Thirty years after its landmark 1989 release, Nintendo’s Game Boy and its long line of successors continue to capture the imagination of thousands of players who harbor a nostalgic attraction to the technologies of their youth. Montreal-based Retro Modding has developed a profitable business modifying (or “modding”) old video game handhelds and selling them alongside […]

Nuclear transfer is a technique to clone animals of the same trait and it is industrially very valuable to clone animals of excellent traits. However, there is no standardized technology to secure, store and supply enough quantities of superior genetics to clone elite farm animals so it has limitation to use in industry field. Although […]

This evaluation will investigate the implementation and effectiveness of the integrated community mental health services for youth and young adults with mental health and addiction problems. The evaluation will entail two distinct pieces of research: (1) an evaluation of the implementation of the program and (2) an evaluation of the outcomes of participants in the […]

Le présent projet propose de renseigner sur la nature et l’ampleur de l’anxiété de performance en milieu scolaire, une problématique qui prend de l’ampleur chez les adolescents anxieux. Les médias discutent effectivement de plus en plus du fardeau de l’anxiété aux évaluations chez les élèves qui entrainent des coûts importants par ses conséquences sur la […]

With increased levels of series compensation of transmission lines (Which is the most economical solution for bulk power transmission over long distances) and with more power electronic controllers such as HVDC, FACTS and converter based distributed generation in the power network, Sub Synchronous Interaction (SSI) problems arise. It is necessary to identify different types of […]

Artificial Intelligence (AI) research has grown rapidly in recent years as the result of faster computers and better algorithms. AI models can be trained to automate the decision process and provide results. However, if the model is not properly or sufficiently trained, the outcome will likely be unpredictable and inaccurate. Besides, training data is not […]
