The internship will investigate existing techniques and languages to analyze, describe and visualize  motion, movement or flow characteristics in a number of different fields and application areas including optical flow for video and visual effects, and Laban Motion Analysis for physical movement. The goal is to draw on existing approaches to define a language to […]

  The intern, along with his collaborator will explore both theoretically and empirically models of influence over social networks, recommendation systems of online content for users in social networks. Additionally, the intern will study various different ways to cluster and group the content of networks such as Twitter in an automated fashion. Additionally, the intern […]

  A very important phase in aircraft design is the aerodynamic design of the wing and various other components; wing-body fairing, tailplane, etc. With today’s computer power and progress in algorithm development, the design is made through complex mathematical models which are amenable to automatic optimization. An industrial adjoint-based three-dimensional viscous optimization framework, developed at […]

  The formation of vortices and their interaction with the aircraft wing and body is one the most interesting problems in aerodynamics. These vortices are usually generated and convected from different parts of the lift providing devices. Their interaction with the flow field, can case unsteady force and vibration. At some configurations, it can alter […]

  With poverty a reality in Victoria and the Capital Regional District we are motivated to create an in‐depth research project which identifies the issues at hand, and focuses on solutions by taking into account global and national issues, structural issues, and initiatives that have been successful in the past. The Victoria Consortium was formed for […]

In conventional crown structure, the crowns are bonded to the bottom layer with a cement layer. The major clinical failure mode is the subsurface radial crack at the interface between the crown and cement. This failure is caused largely by the tensile stress concentration/singularity in the dental ceramic at that interface. A sharp change in […]

  Geophysic is concerned with the study of the earth’s properties, and it is of great importance to oil and mineral exploration and in the environmental investigation. With the advanced in modern technology, enormous geophysical data are now available from the ground measurements and airborne surveys. One of the crucial tasks in geophysical investigation is […]

This work can serve as the foundation of relative value strategies and portfolio sensitivity analysis. This project research on building a strategy for analyzing the sensitivity of mortgage backed securities (MBS) pool pricing to changes in financial market and underlying security characteristics, such as the property value of the underlying real estate. There is a […]

In this project a molecular diagnostic test, named RNA Disruption Assay (RDA) will be developed. RDA measures an individual patient’s tumor response to chemotherapy and accurately predicts whether the drug regimen will lead to the elimination of the disease after the completion of the treatment. RDA is a measure of RNA structural integrity and is […]

  From 1989 to the present, JFSA has been providing community based Resettlement and Employment Services to immigrants from many parts of the world. The main languages that the services are delivered in are Russian, Hebrew and English. The Resettlement program assists Immigrants in navigating the resettlement, integration, immigration and employment processes. Newcomers are assisted and supported in their […]

  Although researchers have identified a number of successful toilet training interventions, parents of children with autism and other developmental disabilities continue to have difficulty toilet training their children. The resulting lack of toileting competence can have negative effects on the lives of these children and their families. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of an innovative workshop designed […]

  One of the most significant screws emerged to connect timber members is the self-tapping wood screw (STS). This screw has primarily been developed to reinforce some of the weakest strength properties of wood. To further extent the application possibility of STS in timber construction, future research needs to address the potential of such screws not just […]
