Hydra Energy Corporation Commercial Demonstration Project based in Prince George, British Columbia 12.4 MT/day of waste hydrogen will be captured, purified and transported to an onsite hydrogen refueling station from which Class 8 tractor-trailer truck fleets will refuel daily. Hydra’s demonstration project can provide a significant reduction in fleet greenhouse gas(GHG) emissions, Particulate Matter and […]

E-commerce has evolved rapidly in recent decades resulted from globalization and international trade. The demand of online shopping is increasing every day, which has opened business opportunities to attract more costumers locally and globally. However, achieving satisfactory user experience in online shopping remains challenging compared to in-person walk-in shopping. Currently, customers have to input static […]

Public safety personnel (PSP; e.g., police officers, firefighters, paramedics, 911 communications) work to keep the Canadian public healthy and safe. Yet, as part of their jobs, PSP experience events that can be traumatic, making it more likely that PSP will develop mental health disorders compared to general people. Public safety communicators (e.g., 911, police, fire, […]

This project deals with the development of new mathematical models and solution methods to optimize naval surface ship refit operations. The Naval Surface Ship Work Period Problem (NSWPP) is a highly complex resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) with many work orders that are equivalent to small projects. Planning, scheduling, and executing NSWPPs are very challenging, […]

The research described in this project proposes a very realistic and Quantum Computing resilient key distribution networking protocol to enable highly secure and efficient information flow. On one hand, the protocol provides unconditional one-time-pad based encryption; on the other hand, it is based on information-theoretic concepts that can be cost-effectively implemented today to establish Quantum […]

Bell Media receives content from different providers, including content it produces in-house. There are standards for tagging audio tracks with metadata however many facilities (including Bell) do not adhere to these standards. Currently Bell uses a manual approach to classify unlabeled audio tracks, which is inefficient, and time consuming for massive digital media that Bell […]

7.2. Public Project Overview: The project will develop an online tool to quantify the economic return on investment resulting from improvements in public health attributed to investments in urban greenspaces. The tool will focus on three pathways: improvements in physical health, improvements in mental health and health benefits associated with improved climate resiliency. The tool […]

In recent years there has been a rapid increase in companies providing rocket launch services for private space travel (SpaceX, Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic to name a few). Access to space by private citizens means that companies will need to collect health information from the private astronauts as well monitor their health while in […]

A significant fraction of wet organic waste streams within typical municipalities include food wastes (collected by many as source separated organics), and sludges or biosolids. In Canada, such wastes are mostly going to landfill or being land applied to recover some nutrient value. Anaerobic digestion (AD) for disposal of organic waste is an attractive option […]

Telehealth/Telemedicine covers a variety of medical services offered through media such as telephone, email and the internet. As technology evolves, these online medical services can be further enhanced to improve the user experience. In this project, we aim to focus on a particular set-up where the patients interact with doctors over a chat service. The […]

The complexity of modern healthcare requires teams of professionals to work together to identify gaps in care. Failures of the healthcare team mean that patient safety and healthcare outcomes are compromised. This series of studies will explore how cognitive load and stress influence obedience to authority, team performance and ultimately patient safety. The outcomes will […]

We are building a machine learning system to help clinical experts accurately label medical notes with diagnosis codes. This will make it faster and cheaper to train machine learning models to identify important codes, including those related to infectious diseases and COVID, in large amounts of medical notes.
