WebAssembly (WASM) is a new portable size and load-time efficient binary code format designed to serve as a compilation target for the web. WASM enables browsers to compile code bundles and run faster than existing Javascript. It will include both a binary notation, that compilers will produce, and a corresponding text notation, suitable for displaying […]

Tenure, the distribution of resource rights and responsibilities, is a central issue for First Nations’ management of lands and resources. The focus of this research project is the historical and contemporary land management implications of policy that created individualized land tenures on First Nations reserves. This project is in partnership with the Penticton Indian Band […]

The proposed internship project deals with the compilation and preparation of relevant scientific content for the Association for Preservation Technology International (APTI) Technical Committee on Sustainable Preservation, which is currently developing an innovative “Online Sustainable Conservation Assistance Resource.” Also known as OSCAR, this tool is aimed at becoming an “interactive resource that establishes a clear […]

Web based anti-debug is a critical technology prevent dynamic attacks to web applications within browser environments. Irdeto has developed a set of essential anti-debug techniques that are used for projects of POC and products for protecting web applications. The research is to understand anti-debug techniques from the public domain, is developed in house, and will […]

Heavy oil production by oil sands surface mining and/or steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) processes presents many challenges, but oil and water separation is among the most critical within the industry. The crude oil coming out of reservoir normally carries significant concentration of bitumen and other surface-active species (e.g., asphaltenes, naphthenic acid and even solid […]

WUSC is a non-profit organization in international development that works to provide education, employment, empowerment opportunities, which includes providing enhanced leadership and life skills opportunities for youth in Canada and internationally. This project will evaluate how two key programs at WUSC (Students Without Borders and the Student Refugee Program) contribute to the professional development of […]

Root rots caused by Fusarium species pose a significant challenge to soybean and pulse growers in Manitoba and Canada, and so does Fusarium head blight caused by F. graminearum. The potential for certain pathogen species to infect more than one crop, or crops in more than one plant family, represent a great challenge for producers […]

Technical debt is a metaphor used in software development to describe the price to pay now for earlier design and coding decisions that were “not quite right”. It is different from defects or bugs: the software functions correctly. But any subsequent development is progressively more and more expensive, to the point where they cannot be […]

Canada owns 13-16% of the world oil supply, but 90% of these reserves are in the form of bitumen, which is as thick as cold peanut butter. This makes bitumen extraction very difficult, if not impossible, without reducing its viscosity. The popular solution is to increase bitumen’s temperature using steam. Sadly, steam strategies can be […]

For this project the intern will place a predator owl deterrent at the base of a wind turbine and hang nest boxes at a distance of at least 200 m from a wind turbine. The expected result of implementing the predator owl and the nest boxes will be a decline in bird mortalities occurring at […]

The CANARY study is a patient-centered assessment of the impact of the regulatory changes regarding access to cannabis for medical purposes in Canada. The study is the first to offer patients’ perspectives regarding their experience of access to medical cannabis after the implementation of the new federal regulations that have created a decentralized competitive national […]
