This four months internship project is to help Bristol Machine to flexible redesign a mechanical linked bucket for hard rock mining application with less time, money, failure, resource, materials cost and increase product quality, flexibility, productivity, and performance for various worldwide customers’ needs in mining industry. The proposed method will be computer-aid design, engineering, FEA […]

This infrastructure will allow new servers to be automatically deployed and configured for use as private game servers, while also monitoring their performance and usage statistics. By using the novel predictive models, which are to be developed in this proposed project, new virtual servers will be automatically created and added when the traffic levels require […]

Well-being problems (e.g., burnout, depression, and efficacy) have been a long standing issue among educators in Early Learning and Care (ELC) settings. This issue not only impacts the health status and work performance among educators, and by association influences the social and emotional development of children. To address this problem, a coaching model has been […]

L’objectif du projet est de concevoir un algorithme pour repositionner dynamiquement la flotte de taxis électriques de Taxelco. L’algorithme prend la forme d’un problème d’optimisation qui vise à minimiser le temps d’attente des clients. Pour ce faire, le modèle considère la demande prévue, l’autonomie limitée des véhicules, la circulation, la position des centres de maintenance […]

Ultrasound technology is widely used in medical diagnosis area. Its non-invasive, high resolution, no side effects and other features make it popular. The ultrasound sensor is the critical component and its performance decides the signal quality. A good sensor can stand the environment noise and supply high signal noise ratio (SNR) signal to the processors […]

Grizzly bears represent a valuable economic, ecological, cultural and symbolic resource for British Columbia. In order to preserve this resource the current population of brown bears needs to be monitored to ensure the health of the population. One marker of health is the genetic health of the population. Genetic monitoring can also tell us important […]

Monte Carlo simulation methods are commonly used as a risk management tool to estimate the risk exposure of financial asset portfolios. However, the traditional brute-force Monte Carlo (BFMC) method is often very timeconsuming, which makes it difficult to serve the risk management needs of modern insurance industry. An alternative approach, the least-squares Monte Carlo (LSMC) […]

With my research project I wish to contribute to a body knowledge that will assist with Halsall’s current needs and future directions. A review of relevant literature on methods and procedures for designing more economical, fire-resistant buildings would serve Halsall by providing them with a reference works with which their design engineers can use to […]

Corrosion of metal-based infrastructure (for example, pipes) is an enormously costly problem faced by many industries including power generation, oil production, transportation, beverage production and water storage and distribution. It is now known that microorganisms can in many cases cause and/or worsen metal corrosion – a phenomenon known as microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC). OSP Microcheck […]

The Canadian pet food market is projected to grow to $1.9 billion by the end of 2016, a 10.2% increase per year in the year. Adequate dietary mineral intake is key to supporting health and well being of dogs, but very little is known about what ingredients are good sources. Understanding of the bioavailability of […]

The partner in this project is EWOS Canada, a producer of salmon feed. Salmon feed is made with sustainable and Canadian Food Inspection Agency approved ingredients. A major challenge in feed manufacturing is to support maximal growth and health of fish. This project addresses a health challenge which has received little attention in academic programs: […]

Web computing, in which the world-wide web is itself employed as a distributed computing platform, is entering a stage of rapid expansion with the advent of Open Web Platform so that programs that once worked only a native environment on desktop, tablets or phones can now work from within a browser itself. There is therefore […]
