High capacity battery systems are becoming as important as their smaller analogues which are currently in use in mobile devices. Rechargeable lithium-ion battery packs serve as uninterruptible power supplies or energy stores in electronic vehicles (EVs) and realize the EV technology for many countries. This promotes sustainable development while addressing air quality and climate change. […]

Rapid urbanization has resulted in increased cement production and use, generating waste like cement kiln dust (CKD) and greenhouse gases. CKD, often landfilled, is now used as a soil amendment for its alkaline properties to counter soil acidification. When CKD is applied to the soil, it alters soil pH, affecting nutrient availability (e.g., nitrogen (N), […]

Providing timely, effective and accessible healthcare is a major challenge for healthcare systems across Canada. This is more challenging for healthcare systems serving the needs of populations living in rural and remote areas such as northern British Columbia. The Northern Health Authority is tasked with providing healthcare services to over 300, 000 people living in […]

Automatic mixing is a field of music technology research looking to automate sound engineering processes. The project will look to expand the field, using machine learning techniques to analyze the relationship of the subjective sound engineering techniques of audio engineers. From this, a unique and quantifiable data set will be we gathered in order to […]

Le projet cherche à étudier comment les projets de dynamisation des cœurs de collectivités (centre-ville, noyau villageois, cœur de quartier) peuvent favoriser l’inclusion et l’équité dans les cœurs de collectivités et engendrer des retombées positives pour l’ensemble de chaque milieu. Plus particulièrement, il vise à identifier les stratégies à intégrer dans les projets de (re)dynamisation […]

SportsPrevention.com estimates the risk levels of preventable injuries associated with training program, training response, recovery and health status by continuously more than 20 evidence-based overtraining and injury markers and risk factors. Each marker is statistically analyzed on an individual basis and results are presented in a simple and meaningful way, along with actionable ‘how to […]

This project aims to enhance cybersecurity threat detection in response to attacks against Generative AI systems, by identifying novel characteristics in submissions to large language models (LLMs), and using these novel characteristics to generate innovative heuristics to scan for prominent threats to vulnerable GenAI system deployments. The challenge is twofold; first, augmenting existing extraction techniques […]

Ce projet utilise la réalité virtuelle immersive pour améliorer le bien-être des personnes aînées vivant avec une démence en établissements de soins de longue durée (CHSLD et MDA/MDAA). La pleine conscience, une pratique consistant à se concentrer sur le moment présent pour réduire le stress et l’anxiété, est au cœur de cette initiative. Grâce à […]

The one-year project will investigate the geological, geochemical and geophysical properties of three Rare Earth Element (REE) deposits in Québec. Each of the selected deposit is representative of a class of REE mineral deposits. The project will provide new insights in the origin of the three types of REE mineral deposits. This new understanding of […]

Multi-physics considerations are important for many engineering applications. For example, we may want to know at what rate heat is transferred between two different systems or how a fluid and solid interact with each other for applications such as turbo-machinery, parachutes, or blood flow through an artery. Engineers often rely on numerical methods to solve […]

There are however, a range of GCMs, future climate scenarios and downscalingtechniques that can be used and each yields different results. Due to this uncertainty, itis regarded as best-practice to use a collection of individual projections to develop“ranges” that characterize future climate conditions. The aim of this internship is toconduct this analysis for the variables […]

One of the main responsibilities of the Bank of Canada (BoC) is to ensure that sufficient inventories of each currency denomination are maintained nationwide. To achieve this, the BoC operates 39 regional distribution centers (RDCs), each with a specified limit on the total currency value it can hold without incurring penalties. Local banks interact with […]
