The proposed research project seeks to define the environmental advantages and cost challenges associated with the design of two types of alternative fuel vehicles; battery electric and bi-fuel CNG + gasoline, with respect to a changing American market. These alternative fuel vehicles will be compared to traditional internal combustion vehicles and assessed based on the […]

Despite the low rate of occurrence, inmate suicide is a tragedy that results in a loss of life and leads to a number of problems for the correctional institution. The goal of this project is to remotely monitor inmates in custody using radar technology in order to detect suicide attempts. Current radar systems for vital-sign […]

L’utilisation de l’aluminium dans les ponts permet d’obtenir des structures résistantes à la corrosion, plus légères et remplaçables plus facilement. Ceci en fait une option intéressante sur le long terme. Les platelages de ponts sont constitués d’extrusions en aluminium et sont soudés en usine par des procédés de soudure par fusion comme le MIG et […]

This research aims to determine and study the sources of MPs in the SoG and identify the processes controlling MP dispersal within the MetroVancouver area. The majority of marine MPs are suspected to originate from and-based sources including wastewater and stormwater/ road runoff. This project will assist in the identification and quantification of the various […]

The overconsumption and overproduction of meat has led to an unbalanced and harmful relationship between the food industry and the environment. The Better Butchers have identified mycelium, mushroom root, as a great addition to current vegetarian proteins because of its high protein content, natural filamentous texture, and it can be grown easily in liquid culture. […]

La technologie est maintenant bien présente dans les divers espaces de vie et elle est utilisée pour la réadaptation des personnes ayant des problèmes associés à des maladies ou traumatismes. Ce projet testera le prototype 3 du vélo intelligent développé par Trivel auprès de personnes âgées ayant une diminution de leur mobilité. Ces personnes seront […]

Radiographic AI Assessment (RAIA) is a web-based application tailored for veterinary practices, focusing on chest radiographs. With millions of annual veterinary clinic visits in Canada, many involving radiography, RAIA addresses the need for better diagnostic quality. It offers automatic quality assessment, enhancing radiology technicians’ ability to deliver high-quality radiographs essential for accurate diagnoses.

The proposed project will determine how the Opto-mization Neuro-Visual assessment captures improvements in a patient’s vision over time and in response to treatment. To accomplish this, the Neuro-Visual assessment database will be organized into a library with data from all patients who completed the assessment, every time they completed the assessment, with a custom MATLAB […]

If we can understand the microstructure of these steels, we can figure out how they will deform over the long term.

Les territoires qui alimentent les aquifères et la dynamique de renouvellement de l’eau souterraine sont encore peu connus, ce qui entraîne de grandes incertitudes sur la vulnérabilité de la ressource. Les objectifs de ce projet sont de tester de nouvelles méthodes pour 1) comprendre combien de temps l’eau souterraine a circulé avant de refaire surface […]

Important challenges remain around planning an ethical, justified, and accountable strategy for transitioning from emergency to long-term planning or closure of programs. Canadian Red Cross (CRC) aims to develop a practical guidance tool for closing humanitarian programs that will combine established operational practices with evidence based ethical considerations. This research will be qualitative in design […]

Our research project focuses on enhancing the performance of grease lubricants utilized in the mining industry through the incorporation of graphene nanoparticles. Graphene is a cutting-edge material known for its exceptional lubricating properties. The intern(s) will collaborate closely with Nova Graphene Canada to synthesize and test these advanced lubricants. The expected outcome is the development […]
