It is of great value to understand the variation of the light field as viewed from different directions in the sea. Satlantic Inc. developed a radiance camera (RadCam) for imaging the visible light field over an entire hemisphere with a high dynamic range. In the current project, I propose a quantitative estimation of the radiance distribution in […]

  This research is designed to assess various factors related to the dispersal and recovery of the Peregrine Falcon in Manitoba. As the Peregrine Falcon continues to be designated “Endangered” in Manitoba and “Threatened” nationally, data regarding survivorship, mortality factors, habitat use, and movements are required to guide future management activities related to the provincial […]

  The Unity Integration Smart Energy Management System (SEMS), of which the internship applicant Michael Fischer will participate in the technical development, will be a technology that fills a critical niche in realizing the Smart Grid of the future. Green building codes will drive energy efficient design and operation of new buildings, but many owners […]

  The Personal Lift Assistive Device (PLAD) is an “on-body” ergonomic aid comprised of: 1) a spring box to assist workers’ back muscles; 2) padded cables to tension the springs at the shoulders and feet; and, 3) a pelvic spacer to provide improved leverage. In all previous tests, the PLAD has reduced back force requirements by […]

The research project will involve the development of features and techniques to aid people with communication disabilities through the use of consumer mobile devices (ex. smartphones) and tablet computers. Some of the major areas of interest include: location aware vocabularies, predictive sentence construction, and support for alternative input for people that also suffer from motor […]

  As a grants life cycle involves many steps, it is crucial for grantmakers to monitor and manage the process. While digital management offers efficiency, multitude of clients and solutions they require results with highly fragmented market. By identifying stakeholders in grants management marketplace and by assessing their needs, software vendors can become more competent […]

With my research time at Halsall I wish to contribute to a body knowledge that will assist with Halsall’s current needs and future directions. A review of relevant literature on methods and procedures for designing more economical, fire-resistant buildings would serve Halsall by providing them with a reference works with which their design engineers can […]

The proposed project addresses the main challenge in modeling long-dated (maturities of 30 years or more) foreign exchange (FX) interest rate (IR) hybrid derivatives, namely the strong sensitivity of the products to the skew of the FX volatility smiles via the use of a stochastic process, such as the Heston model. Numerical methods based on a partial differential equation […]

  This proposed research will be held as part of the implementation of an online marketplace for smart assets, project that will be developed at Side Effects Software .The main objectives of this applied research project will be first, trying to predict the performance requirements. Second, estimating the set of queries that need to be […]

  This research seeks to address common issues that plague content and information management at small to medium–sized, know ledge–intensive enterprises. By using qualitative research methods and drawing on a theory of control this case study will provide specific, practical, and usable information about inefficiencies and pain points experienced by Algorithmics, in addition to enriching the trade and research […]

Create an automated “on line” decision tree for crop conditioning that allows predict and control the behavior of key indicators during the grain storage by Identifying the main factors that are related to the drying and storage of grain as well as the relations between those factors.

This project aims at developing a computerized system for spine diagnosis. This system will improve the efficiency and efficacy of radiologists to diagnose patients’ spine problems. The development of the system involves devising a set of tailor-made mathematical formulation. These formulation are grounded on the state-of-the-art computer vision algorithms and they are capable of capturing […]
