Dans un contexte de perte de biodiversité et de changements climatiques, le projet propose de documenter et caractériser la communauté de papillons des sommets alpins du parc de la Gaspésie. Les milieux alpins subissent l’effet des changements climatiques à un rythme 2 à 3 fois plus rapides qu’ailleurs. L’étude établira un portrait initial précis de […]

The goal of the project is the development of copper for Rapidia’s innovative paste extrusion process. Copper is a highly sought-after material with unique properties that has a wide range of applications in various industries including biomedical, electrical, manufacturing, and energy storage. The ability to 3D print copper parts on our system will thus have […]

$50B of unrealized GDP will occur by 2030 in Canada if the skill gap challenge is not addressed. With the acceleration and uncertainty of a borderless economy, Employers, Educators and Jobseekers will continue to be in constant flux. The greatest cost to Small & Medium Sized Businesses (SMBs) is the hiring, skilling and training of […]

Companies with a strong online presence are seeking to increase users’ engagement by adding recommendation and prediction algorithms to their websites. These algorithms can for example predict which users’ actions are more likely to happen and which users’ actions are likely more profitable. Companies use such algorithms to tailor the content of their websites based […]

A web task is defined as the set of services, sessions, and sequence of interactions that are required to perform a certain user objective. The current Web tasking model does not consider user preferences and context when executing a Web task. The proposed research project aims to improve the experience of Web users through personalization […]

The objective of this project is to better understand the impact prevalent mental health challenges have on cognition. For this pilot study, neurophysiological electroencephalography (EEG) will be investigated in three different mental health population groups: those suffering from Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD), depression, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Portable EEG will be used to assess […]

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) is ushering in a new era of technology for assistive hearing devices. One example is HeardThat, a smartphone app that uses AI to enhance speech comprehension. It helps people carry on conversations more easily in the presence of background noise. This is something that many struggle with even if […]

Root rot disease especially Aphanomyces root rot has led to decrease pea acreage in the prairies due to yield losses of up to 70 percent in wet years. Current fungicides are few and have very limited efficacy on the target pathogen, but may negatively affect other living organisms in the environment. Therefore, there is the […]

Today’s automobile is more than a mechanical tool; it contains a myriad of computers, sensors, IoT, and embedded nodes. The embedded system is the heart of a vehicle’s electronic system because of its versatility and flexibility. Furthermore, these systems are becoming increasingly sophisticated and interconnected, both to each other and to the Internet. However, with […]

Successful partnerships between non-profit organizations and funders are fundamental for organizations’ abilities to concentrate on their mission, and for founders to see their philanthropic investments align with their values and make real impacts. Matching founders and organizations has traditionally been done informally through personal connections, networks, and expensive prospecting software and databases. Just like a […]

The aim of the internship is to develop strategies for commercialization of radical, generic technologies developed by Exro in the area of clean technology. They have developed and patented. a variable input electrical generator that could be very efficiently used in producing electricity for undetermined electricity generation levels from clean tech sources like wind turbine […]

– South Asians make up 60% of Canada’s immigrant population, with Punjabis being the fastest-growing subpopulation of this demographic in BC. Since many Punjabi women have low health literacy skills and face cultural stigmas around mental health, community-based health promotion (CBHP) programs are needed.
