There is a growing need to address the rising child mental health crisis in Canada. One way is to take a personalized medicine approach which includes factors that influence an individual’s environment, genetics and their microbiome. The microbiome includes a collection of microorganisms and can live on or within the human body. Many environmental factors […]

Naphthenic acids (NAs) represent the primary source of acute toxicity in oil sands process affected water. Due to the seepage potential of NAs from oil sands tailings ponds into the surrounding surface water and groundwater, environmental monitoring of NAs in water samples from tailing ponds, surrounding groundwater and surface water, and groundwater wells became a […]

The creation of an immersive space requires the precise connection of audio, visual and haptic systems. Current methods for connecting these systems rely on software engineers to rebuild the tools each time a change is made to the mappings, making it difficult for designers to experiment with new interaction methods. This internship will support and […]

Accélérer la mise en œuvre et la maintenance des pratiques quant à la protection des renseignements personnels en organisation et assurer l’accès aux techniques d’anonymisation respectant les normes de confidentialité et sécurité. À la lumière des nouvelles réglementations et normes sur la confidentialité des données personnelles, Videns Analytics est en constant progrès pour mettre à […]

Levansucrase (LS) is an enzyme that can catalyse reactions converting sugars, alkyl and phenolic compounds to complex oligosaccharides. In-depth studies are still needed regarding the reactions with alkyl and phenolic compounds which show high potential in increasing their antioxidant properties. In addition, further work is necessary to investigate the ability of LS to produce functional […]

A prototype Forex currency trading system has demonstrated a proof of concept on a static data set. The current project proposes to implement the trading system for real-time applications using the tools of predictive analysis, As data arrives in the trading system it will automatically update the buy/sell recommendations with estimates of probability of success. […]

Avec la nouvelle ère numérique, quelques activités de gestion des actifs des infrastructures urbaines sont réorganisées au niveau des villes avec la mise en œuvre d’une panoplie de technologies. Ceci touche aléatoirement quelques activités, il manque une vision systémique et une compréhension holistique des besoins. Il existe un manque de bases théoriques soutenant le déploiement […]

Geohazard risk assessments are performed when there is a known threat to humans, critical infrastructure, and the environment from natural hazards. In southwestern BC, these natural hazards include debris flows, debris floods, floods, and wildfires. These hazards are closely related to weather conditions, and with the effects of climate change, we may observe these hazards […]

This project aims to document the process that was undertaken to establish the first Indigenous Protected and Conserved Area (IPCA) Innovation Centre. This documentation will serve as a roadmap and assist in the establishment of future IPCA innovation centres across Canada and internationally. The establishment of IPCAs are essential if Canada hopes to protect biodiversity […]

The business partner is interested in expanding its understanding of prepayment. Specifically the goal is to predict prepayment risk for mortgages as a function of mortgagors’ characteristics (including data from previous interactions with the bank), and the local economy. In recent years, with the improvement in efficient computing and data storage, the relying on a […]

Brain wave technologies allow researchers and clinicians to monitor the brain at work. Our team has developed a new technology that uses electroencephalography (EEG) to provide an online record of different brain functions in a very short period of time. The brain waves recorded by this technology may change normally as time passes and we […]

La bioréparation d’une fissure d’un béton a pour but de la colmater pour empêcher le passage de l’eau. Actuellement, deux types d’ouvrages sont principalement ciblés : les ouvrages hydrauliques et les voutes des tunnels en béton. Le colmatage est accompli en injectant, dans la fissure, un liquide nutritif contenant des bactéries. Ces bactéries produisent du […]
