The NAIG 2023 is trialling Brave Spaces for young athletes — outdoor rooms providing for moments of pause or rest during the event programming. The idea for this particular program came from NAIG and relates to the observed experiences of youth athletes during previous games. Reflection on this trial will be useful for the NAIG […]

In this research project, the intern will explore ways to detect hypovigilance with vital signs collected from the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The intern will first study existing research and models to understand which features are important for detecting these conditions. Next, they will analyze vital sign data from ICU patients to identify the most […]

Ce projet, imaginé par la FADOQ – Région Estrie, vise à former un tandem bigénérationnel en matière de partage de logement en regroupant des personnes aînées qui acceptent de loger des personnes étudiantes universitaires recommandées par l’Université de Sherbrooke, moyennant différentes modalités. L’intérêt d’une personne aînée à participer au projet se traduit, entre autres, par […]

Fusion power has the potential to deliver clean, safe, and abundant electrical power on an industrial scale. Due to the extreme conditions required, involving temperatures of hundreds of millions degrees Celsius, it remains a technical challenge, particularly on a commercial scale. In a concept called Magnetized Target Fusion (MTF), plasma is compressed to fusion conditions […]

Ottawa Salus is a non-profit corporation who have served the Ottawa community for over 40 years. They have over 100 staff members delivering supportive housing and mental health services to the community. The organization creates opportunities for adults living in the community with mental health and substance use issues to live independently. To achieve this, […]

Some people living in social housing are at risk of losing their housing. This is due to serious mental illness, substance use, neurocognitive decline, physical frailty, disabilities, or other issues, along with an absence of adequate support. Ottawa Community Housing has approached researchers at the University of Ottawa to conduct a study to learn more […]

L’objectif de ce projet est de trouver des médicaments antidouleurs pour les poissons en observant leur comportement dans une eau à température variable. Le but est de différencier un effet analgésique d’un effet sédatif des médicaments testés en analysant la vitesse de nage des poissons. Les mesures seront effectuées à distance à l’aide d’une caméra […]

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) face challenges such as inflation, supply chain disruption, and extreme weather, resulting in missed orders, overstocking, or understocking. Traditional forecasting methods based on seasonality and trend cannot provide accurate market demand, leading to inefficiencies and sales losses. The proposed research project aims to develop a machine learning-based demand prediction platform. […]

In recent years, the task of operating an agricultural tractor has changed in large part due to the introduction of new technologies. Perhaps the greatest change is related to the introduction of auto-steer technology that negates the requirement to constantly have one’s hands on the steering wheel of the tractor. The current configuration of the […]

According to the literature, up to 75% of all fungicide applications are either off-target or are applied where no disease is present. Paramoria Agri-Science aims to reduce that by providing farmers with real-time monitoring of disease-causing spore populations, such that pesticides are applied on an as-needed basis, rather than as-feared. Currently, Paramoria uses quantitative polymerase […]

This projects aims to understand the mechanisms responsible for lithium mineralization associated with hard rock in Manitoba, Canada. Lithium is seen as critical for the decarbonization of our economy and as such it is vital that we understand its origins and be able to predict where to find more in a sustainable way. Another objective […]

Analog and digitally synthesized film grain is widely seen in pristine visual content as part of the creative intent of content producers. However, in streaming media applications such as online video-on-demand and live video broadcasting, grain demands excessive amounts of bandwidth to transmit the video streams from the server to the consumer devices while maintaining […]
