The intern will work closely with PPIC PipeCrawler design engineer to develop a new control and navigation system. The tasks will include 1) analysis of the mechanism and motion of the PipeCrawler; 2) derivation of a dynamic model for control design and synthesis of model based control of the PipeCrawler; 3) development of a DSP […]

Various deterministic and stochastic epidemic models for directly transmissible diseases, such as influenza, measles, HIV and SARS, have attracted increasing attention from researchers. However the most common models are still based on restrictive assumptions which refrain from accurate description of infectious agent's characteristics and their propagation from individual to individual, in time and space. In […]

Under the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care's Physician IT Program, Ontario's physicians have been funded for an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system within their practice. OntarioMD, a subsidiary of the Ontario Medical Association, was established to support all physician adoption of health information technology (HIT). The purpose of the research project is to […]

Nurses injure their backs at alarming rates. Experts now agree that most injuries are not due to a single lifting activity where the load exceeds the spine's ability to support it, as has been the conventional view. Instead, it is likely that most back Injuries are the result of the total loading (cumulative load) the […]

National Review Services is the RCMP policy centre responsible for the Unit Level Quality Assurance (ULQA) program. National Review Services, as a unit within the Internal Audit function of the RCMP, maintains the intention to remain “best in class” within quality assurance programs in government and the Canadian police universe. National Review Services requires a […]

By considering privacy, data storage, data transfer and accessibility issues, the project aims to develop policies that both protect the client and the organization. The larger aim is to demonstrate that health information technologies can be successfully implemented to support nurses in the care planning process. The research will inform the long term goal of […]

The intern will use screening methods to define which gene which are altered in the Jurkat human T cell line following incubation with the Verotoxin B subunit as a means to define the potential mechanism by which this treatment protects these cells from HIV1 infection in vitro. LISI Therapeutics will benefit by increasing their license […]

The intern will work with the Heritage Foundation of Newfoundland and Labrador (HFNL) on a research project to create a model for an annual Intangible Cultural Heritage Folklife Festival. The student will organize and oversee a one‐day festival, and will focus on creating a framework for appropriate cultural presentations following a festival format, sensitive to […]

The goal of this research project is to develop a management toolkit that will enable First Nation fisheries managers to select and employ appropriate mathematical population models based on management objectives and available data. The primary societal contribution of this research program is the development of a toolkit that will immediately enable access to ecological […]

This project aims to understand the relationship between the history of Hamilton’s waterworks and the greater Hamilton community. It will be based on oral interviews with past employees and will be presented to the community using digital technologies to enhance its accessibility. By focusing on themes of water safety, water pollution and water conservation the […]

This project involves a technical evaluation of the use of electrokinetic (EK) technology to dewater sediments that built up behind the Orr Dam in Stratford, to facilitate their removal and the continuation of normal Dam activities. EK dewatering involves the use of an applied electric field to a mass of soil in order to facilitate […]

The project aims to enhance design control software that drives an automated specimen processing robotic system. This robotic system automates the processes of biological specimen containers handling and labelling. It is used to increase the productivity of microbiology laboratories and quality of their results. This robotic system controller handles hundreds of specimen containers in a […]
