Le projet vise à développer une infrastructure capable d’exploiter les informations cliniques contenues dans les dossiers médicaux électroniques. Une grande partie des données médicales du Québec est consignée dans ces dossiers, mais les textes n’ont pas de structure précise et restent difficiles à exploiter automatiquement. Cette complexité peut ralentir la prise de décision médicale et […]

The proposed geological research project is collaboration between UBC and industry sponsors to evaluate the nature of metallic resources in NW Turkey. Undeveloped concentrations of gold, silver and copper occur in the study region; these occurrences are being actively explored by the partner organizations. In the interest of the partner companies this research project focuses […]

The proposed research project is around re conducting feasibility studies on the purification and conditioning of industrial hemicellulosic C5 sugars from a number of potentially commercial wheat straw liquor fractions. The research will propose experiments where data for the ultimate evaluation of enzymatic hydrolysis vs. a selected comparative list of acid hydrolysis can be included. […]

The main obj ective of this project is to design a proper algoritlun for analyzing COPD patient’s sleep data as an important feature in patients treatment procedure. The data would be gathered by a novel wrist wearable actigraph with high accuracy technology. The wearable wristactigraph will allow more reliable data collection because the subjects can […]

L’entreprise UCP Paint est un manufacturier de peintures architecturales et de produits de spécialités. Il s’agit d’un domaine fortement compétitif où la qualité des matières premières et leur accès peuvent être problématiques. Le projet vise à développer des méthodes de caractérisation de ces matières et des outils de classification de leur qualité et de leur […]

Through directed interviews and exit questionnaires information about baseline education levels associated with academic preparedness and skills training will be analyzed to determine what type of support is lacking in the Natural Gas development. The interviews will take place throughout the Monteny Region of NE British Columbia region to assist with Liquid Natural Gas development. […]

Female breasts experience large displacements during physical activities such as running and jumping. This can lead to problems such as breast discomfort, and even chronic neck and back pain. However, correctly designed sports bras can alleviate some of these symptoms, and enable women to exercise with greater comfort. lululemon Athletica strives to develop a sports […]

This project will develop a real-time Artificial Intelligence based system that accurately estimates 3D skeletal pose from monocular video of dogs and reliably classifies fundamental behaviors to support veterinary health monitoring and behavioral assessment applications. Recent research has demonstrated significant progress in automated animal behavior recognition. The intersection of computer vision, animal behavior analysis, and […]

This project will aim to promote interagency collaboration in order to improve immigrant integration. In order to achieve this goal, the intern will be involved in clarifying employer and college/university needs, local settlement agency capacities, and the institutional mechanisms that would be needed to promote and govern interagency collaboration. The research process will involve interviews, […]

This study will give voice to the experiences and opinions of men and women diagnosed with serious mental illness who are clients of the Guelph Assertive Community Treatment Team (ACTT) and at the same time subject to Community Treatment Orders (CTOs). Instituted in 2005, CTOs require that individuals abide by certain conditions in order to […]

Malaspina Labs Inc. develops algorithms for enhancing speech in extremely noisy audio signals for real-time applications such as hearing aids and mobile devices. Many classical approaches to speech enhancement are not applicable to these domains because of severe hardware and psychoacoustics constraints such as far-field, single microphone use cases (no beamforming),

The market share of online advertising, also known as Internet advertising, has been increasing dramatically in recent years. On the other hand, malicious behaviors, such as click fraud, have degraded the effectiveness of online advertising. Via fraud clicks, a considerable amount of revenues have been lost to fraud conductors. For instance, based on a report […]
