Le projet consiste à développer et entraîner un modèle hybride (process-based model & computer simulation model) pour quantifier les impacts financiers des changements climatiques sur l’agriculture. Acara cherche à évoluer vers un modèle hybride intégrant des techniques de Machine Learning (ML). Cette transition marquera une étape importante avant le lancement de projets pilotes qui mettront […]

Line-commutated Converters (LCC) have been used for over half a century due to their robustness as well as high power capacity. However, they can face challenges from voltage and frequency disturbances in the case of terminating in a very weak ac network. Such systems use synchronous condensers (SCs) to provide voltage and frequency support at […]

In partnership with the University of British Columbia, the intern will work with VulcanX, a Canadian energy company, on a project to make hydrogen production cleaner and cheaper. They will help set up a reactor with the capability of producing hydrogen and solid carbon in a continuous process. This setup will be used to evaluate […]

This is a project that aims to deploy a new sensing system that allows the estimate of nutrients in potato plants in near real-time by scanning their leaves in two different modes: fresh when still intact and dried. This sensing system would replace manual sampling and wet tissue chemical analysis to allow immediate response to […]

A retrospective cohort study design will be used to determine the population-based incidence of sepsis in infants up to 28 days after birth, and by gestational age in weeks. The project will use BC data from the Perinatal Registry on all births over 16 years, and readmissions up to 28 days after birth. The intern […]

Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada has initiated a program to reduce fertilizer N2O emissions by 30 % from 2020 to 2030 [14]. Accurate monitoring of agricultural N2O emissions is crucial for understanding their environmental impact and implementing effective mitigation strategies. Current research mainly focuses on measuring N2O emissions from the ground. The spectroscopic-based LI-COR sensor is […]

Développement d’une solution IA pour accélérer la réponse aux demandes de support technique et faciliter l’accès à la documentation technique. Le stage se concentrera sur le développement d’un chatbot, qui utilisera des données structurées pour fournir des recommandations en temps réel. L’efficacité du chatbot sera évaluée par un taux de satisfaction des utilisateurs de 80%. […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

Face aux enjeux climatiques actuels, nombreuses sont les villes qui cherchent à augmenter l’importance du vélo comme mode de transport pour diminuer les émissions de GES liées à ce secteur. En plus de bonifier les infrastructures cyclables protégées, il est important d’accompagner le changement par différentes campagnes d’information. Ce projet de recherche a pour objectif […]

Moose are often assumed to benefit from disturbances because of the flush in plants they eat (forage) occurring shortly after. However, the response of moose to disturbances is complex, with moose numbers documented as increasing or decreasing as disturbances increase. Disturbances can alter the quantity and nutritional quality of forage available to moose. The change […]

Racism permeates and is upheld by institutions such as healthcare, with deleterious impacts for patients and healthcare workers. Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH)–a regional health authority—has more than 29,000 workers providing services to over 1.25 million people. They will be piloting an anti-racism training they created for workers as part of their larger Anti-Racism Action Plan. […]

Toyo Pumps is planning to develop a new generation of pumps with a viewing window in order to evaluate the maintenance timing. However, there are several challenges posed by application of allocating the viewing window that the company product developers must overcome. The University of British Columbia (UBC) has the expertise, equipment, 2D and 3D […]
