Remote health settings require affordable blood tests to provide care. ChipCare aims to reduce the cost of these tests by producing a user-friendly device the size of a credit-card reader. Disposable cartridges that go into the device will bring down costs. One aim of this project is to improve the design of the reader in […]

This work identifies the origin of source population of bird named European Starling (Sturnus vulgaris) which makeup the winter population of Okanagan-Similkameen valley. These pest birds are aggressive and destructive in nature. At once, thousands of them fly in a group and destroys fruits in orchard. In this project, I plan to collect bone samples […]

Essential Silver Incorporated is a recycling business looking to expand it’s operations in North America. The company’s specialty is recycling silver and a specific type of plastic called PET from x-rays. In order to justify the additional investment in the business ESI needs to have a better understanding of the market and it’s operations. ESI […]

Avec une infrastructure construite et en opération, les activités principales d’EDF EN Canada passent de la phase développement vers l’opération. Cette nouvelle phase nécessite un suivi des performances de toutes les éoliennes de toutes les centrales éoliennes d’EDF EN Canada. Les outils qui seront développés et validés durant ce projet seront des éléments essentiels pour […]

PWC effectue des tests sur les compresseurs lors du développement de ses moteurs afin de mieux connaître les niveaux vibratoires des ailettes en fonctionnement. Le but de ce projet de recherche est de développer une méthode numérique basée sur des considérations aéroélastiques et capable de prédire efficacement ces niveaux vibratoire afin de limiter la voie […]

The objective of this research proposal is to develop a framework to track and manage the fatigue of pilots involved with aerial firefighting. Interns of different backgrounds (neuroscience, engineering and statistics) will work together to achieve this goal. The neuroscience intern will collect physiological data to identify how a pilot’s physical and cognitive performance is […]

In order to understand how public policy promotes and/or hinders the development of an ethical culture in LTC, facilities must explore the interaction between public policy, organizational policies and procedures, and frontline staff ethical decisions and actions. LTC organizations want to provide high quality of care, and quality of life, to the older adult population […]

The research will comprise effects of penetration of photovoltaic on existing distribution network. This will include power quality, voltage stability and customer load when there is a penetration. The graphs would display and let the utility organization know till what level the penetration should be done on a distribution network. The advantages and the need […]

Visual analytics (VA) potentially has a great range of applications within healthcare. CAREX and Engage Data will investigate, with the intern, the uses of VA for data analysis and visualization to support real-world carcinogen-related explorations related to the use of the eRISK Online web-based tool developed by CAREX. Engage Data is specifically interested in understanding […]

Video contents and applications become integrated in everyday life and demands for high-quality videos, such as 4K, are increasing. Even modern optical equipment introduces inevitable noises that may heavily mask video content. Environment conditions such as low light, results in more video quality degradation. Therefore, a video-enhancement technique is required to reconstruct the original non-noisy […]

The fuel-grade ethanol obtained from corn-based feedstocks, utilizes about 33% of the total carbon present in corn based feedstocks. The remaining fraction is converted into dry distillers’ grains (DDG) and carbon dioxide, which is then converted to syngas (CO+H2). In this research the syngas from ethanol plant will be converted to transportation fuel and derived […]

Le remblai sans retrait (RSR) est un matériau auto-compactant à très faible résistance pour remplir les excavations nécessaires aux réseaux souterrains des services publics. L’avantage principal est de rétablir la circulation rapidement après la construction. Certains doutes existent sur les pratiques sur le chantier. L’objectif est de mettre au point une méthodologie du contrôle de […]
