The company will further test and develop their algorithm that will assist a money manager in managing their stock market portfolio. The algorithm chooses the stocks to buy or sell based upon its analysis of the market and a number of other market and stock related data points. The performance of this algorithm will need […]

The British Columbia (BC) Seniors Advocate recently indicated that the government of BC needs to “commit to a higher standard of accommodation in residential care facilities” which includes 95% single room occupancy in long-term care (LTC) facilities. The proportion of adults age 65+ is growing, with the population increasing from 13.2% of the population in […]

In this project, two different “pre-processing” technologies will be used to fractionate lignocellulosic biomass prior feeding it to the fermentation process for ethanol production. These pre-processing technologies are thermal screw press and cellulose organic-solvent-based lignocellulosic fractionation. The efficiency of above mentioned technologies will be evaluated for sugar yields which are important for enzymatic hydrolysis and […]

The consumption of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA)-rich eggs is associated with human health benefits because dietary PUFA reduces the risks of cardiovascular diseases, inflammation and cancer. Flaxseed is an excellent source of PUFA, especially linolenic acid. However, flaxseed contains anti-nutritional factors (i.e., cyanogenic glycosides, mucilage and phytic acid), which causes liver hemorrhage in laying […]

In some parts of the world, airport runways are not constructed and maintained to the standards expected in North America and Western Europe. Aircraft designed for use on smooth runways may not be certifiable when they are operated on rougher runways because the predicted load cases associated with landing and take-off are very different from […]

The mining industry faces a massive human resource challenge in the next decade. The Certificate in Mining Studies (CMS) is a continuing education program offered by a network of mining schools and course providers. It is designed for those who seek industry-leading professional development and career advancement in the mining sector. In order to refine […]

This research aims to evaluate mobile live broadcasting as an effective medium for artistic expression, through the use of real time video manipulation tools, like image filtering and visual effects. We will build a research platform to better understand the future of online real-time communications within the creative community of audiovisual artists. We ultimately want […]

Coronary artery disease is caused by a build-up of plaque in the heart vessel. If the plaque causes a large amount of blockage, this can restrict the flow of blood to the heart and cause a heart attack. However, certain types of plaque are fragile (vulnerable) and can transform from a non-obstructive to obstructive blockage […]

The year 2017 marks the 375th anniversary of the foundation of the city of Montreal. The Laboratory of Remote Sensing, Department of Geography, Montreal University, and Esri Canada want to take part in the celebrations by offering to the Montreal community an interactive tool illustrating the historical evolution of the city of Montreal. To develop […]

Quantum information processing holds the promise of the next revolution in information technologies. Many implementation candidates are still being investigated. One of them is superconducting circuits. Studying quantum systems in general is a computationally difficult task. If one hopes to build scalable and reliable devices, one must resort to approximate numerical design tools. Tensor networks […]

Ce projet de recherche a pour objectif de contribuer au développement de nouvelles structures isolantes pour les transformateurs de puissance avec l’application de nouveaux papiers thermiquement meilleurs que ceux actuellement utilisés. La recherche inclut des papiers isolants avec différentes teneurs en azote. Différentes propriétés mécaniques, et physico-chimiques seront déterminées après des essais de vieillissements accélérés. […]

Le but de la recherche vise à l’adaptation d’un protocole de certification pour les concentrés de minéraux lourds aurifères et la création d’un matériau de référence (en vrac ainsi qu’en pastille Époxy) reproductible qui servira en contrôle de la qualité pour les campagnes de géochimie d’exploration du milieu secondaire. Ce matériau, essentiel à la calibration […]
