Our proposed research is to measure soil erosion and runoff in the field and use it to calibrate water runoff models. The approach is twofold: a) Use of field data for to determine runoff rates and nutrient loading and b) use high resolution non-destructive methods to monitor water runoff after a precipitation event through unmanned […]

Endocannabinoids are compounds produced by the human body that bind to and activate cannabinoid receptors. There are two major endocannabinoids: anandamide (AEA) and 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG). Both play a role in regulating the firing of brain cells in the nervous system and attenuating immune system responses. As such, the endocannabinoid system is implicated in several clinically […]

This project will develop a hybrid framework by integrating AI and machine learning methods with tabular information extraction and semantic modeling to improve the state-of-the-art precision and recall in tabular detection while maximizing the value of extracted information for industrial applications. Following a properly designed pre-processing stage to improve the outcomes of AI techniques, the […]

Devonian reservoirs have contributed significantly to the development of the petroleum industry in Alberta. This is mainly due to their favourable characteristics of high permeability enhanced by dolomitization in these often reefal structures. Although many have had good recoveries, much oil remains to be recovered. Many of the same characteristics that led to good production […]

Le présent projet est pour la conception d’une nouvelle lame de patin de hockey qui sera imprimée 3D pour les patins Bauer. Dans ce projet, un nouvel alliage métallique sera développé pour avoir un comportement comme une lame de patin. Ce projet a un avantage de faire avancer les recherches pour les nouveaux matériaux imprimables […]

A review of Housing First practices for housing chronically homeless residents, and their cost-saving potential for municipalities and housing organizations. Housing First treats supplying permanent housing as a priority for recovery for chronically homeless adults suffering from mental health and substance abuse issues. This has been shown to be a more effective housing and treatment […]

Over the past few years Cannabis has gone through a revolution with respect to its applications to both the medical and recreational markets. For legal reasons, much Cannabis genetics has been hap hazard but now with legalization scientific approaches can be used to develop useful Cannabis strains for the industry. In this proposal, we will […]

This project is addressing a deficit in the long-term valuation space for robust mathematics. Current techniques rely on very basic statistics and manually constructed spreadsheet models. This represents significant operational risk to investment firms. This project will seek to, using machine learning, develop accurate forecasting models for the financial fundamentals of companies in order to […]

In order to improve athlete performance and maintain health, it is crucial to find a balance between training/competition demand, and the stress experienced by athletes. To improve performance, training and adaptation is necessary, but it is also crucial to consider how much training and competition an athlete can handle before it becomes harmful to their […]

Qubits are fundamental units for quantum computation. Photonics is a promising physical medium to realize large-scale quantum computation. One proposal to realize photonic qubits was proposed by Gottesman, Kitaev and Preskill (GKP). Here, the logical qubit is encoded into states of a bosonic mode or a quantum harmonic oscillator. It is expected that such a […]

The purpose of this research is to develop an assessment for the “Pathway to Resilience” program. The “Pathway to Resilience” program is a resilience training program for employees developed by Air Institute. The assessment created during this internship will be used to assess the program’s effectiveness. This assessment will be used to guide organizational reports […]

Recent advancements in the study of large biological datasets coupled with powerful machine learning tools and new analytical technologies have opened up the ability to predict risks to health and possibly intervene before disease has manifested. Molecular You has developed a web based interface that integrates all these technologies into easy to understand visual health […]
