In-vivo imaging provides a unique opportunity to examine complex cellular activity in live tissue. Images produced by these experiments are difficult to analyze manually, typically applied to mono-layer cell culture assays (i.e. cells in a dish). Recent advances in deep learning enable the opportunity to analyze these in-vivo tissue images with greater efficiency and accuracy. […]

Currently, some public and private organizations have implemented various identification verification solutions to manage identity authentication. The idea of using a third-party identity provider (IdP) to access a relying party (RP) is not new, and both RP and IdP have their benefits as they can only be connected once in a federated identity ecosystem.  While […]

Alexithymia raises special clinical issues: 1) it is known to be a trait and distributed across the general population where prevalence is 8-10% (Karukivi, […]

The catalytic CO2 reforming process provides a sequestration alternative that holds promise for a viable solution for dealing with industrial gaseous effluents containing greenhouse gases CH4 and CO2. The process converts these gases to syngas (CO and H2) which can be used for synthesis for high value chemicals. The catalyst for the dry reforming process […]

Cryptocurrency markets exhibit highly chaotic behaviour, differing substantially from securities. This research project looks at the cryptocurrency markets for data–aiming to answer if it possible to create mathematical models which track the overall behaviour of the Cryptocurrency Market, while minimizing risks. Through this research we expect to reconcile the theory developed above with the real […]

In the Corporate Tax domain, professionals must review hundreds of documents in the process of filing taxes and rely on experience to identify where benefits or deductibles can be applied. This manual task is subject to human error and can result in unnecessary administrative overhead. With access to PricewaterhouseCoopers’ wealth of tax data, it is […]

Within the aerospace sector, aftermarket services account for over 50% of revenue generated by aero engine manufacturers. Central to this is the ability to inspect and repair high unit cost components. Many processes are manual but given the ever-increasing quality, cost and delivery requirements, and the safety critical nature of these rotating parts, there is […]

The care provided to children by their mothers is important for the development of a healthy stress response. Many things may affect the quality of a mother’s care, such stress, environment, and nutrition. Probiotics, a form of good bacteria found in the digestive system, have been shown to improve the wellbeing of offspring in rodents […]

The following research project will be used to investigate, develop and determine the performance of the application of a new nanotechnological material as a coating on glazing for the purposes of reducing the transmittance of specific wavelengths on the spectral curve. This will reduce the overall building heating and cooling energy consumption and will create […]

The 2017 Neighbourhood Small Grants Program Evaluation will deepen understanding of grassroots grant making through an analysis of program outcomes and participant feedback from the Vancouver Foundation’s 2017 Neighbourhood Small Grants (NSG) program. Using data collected by the Vancouver Foundation, the project intern will produce a report that highlights the outcomes, opportunities, challenges, and lessons […]

Labor cost and availability are identified as the biggest challenges facing Canadian agriculture. The DOT Technology Corporation, as part of the SeedMaster, is to create an autonomous power system that acts as a primary locomotion unit for carrying a multitude of farm implements used for seeding, fertilizing, and tilling. This simple autonomous power will enable […]

This Internship project will look at issues affecting the overall social conditions of First Nation youth in Northern, rural and remote communities, with a specific focus on the Northern community of Canoe Lake Cree Nation. Historically, the people of Canoe Lake lived a traditional lifestyle off the land, including traditional land that was lost to […]
