Ka:’yu:’k’t’h’/Che:k’tles7et’h’ First Nations (KCFN) identified a need to monitor ecological and cultural valued components as well as human activities on Treaty Lands and hahuulth (land and water), and are in the early stages of creating a Stewardship Program that is intended to meet this need. This project aims to support the stewardship program development by […]

At a high level, the goal of this project is to create a system for producing synthetic datasets based on real data. As a large financial crime detection firm, Verafin deals with large volumes of sensitive data which must be kept private, however they are also interested in collaborating with academics to gain new insights […]

Le but de cette recherche est d’améliorer les propriétés thérapeutiques d’un produit sanguin qui peut sauver des vies des patients avec une infection sévère due à un système immunitaire affaiblie. Ces patients ont un nombre insuffisant de neutrophiles ou des neutrophiles qui ne fonctionnent pas très bien. Les neutrophiles sont des globules blancs qui jouent […]

Our research team studies genetic elements that lead to the development and progression of cancer. One of these genes, called Pax-5, normally controls cellular activity and growth of healthy cells. However, deregulated levels of Pax-5 products also lead to cell hyperactivity and cancer. Recently, we have identified a new class of products, which derive from […]

The purpose of this project is to determine the rotational stiffness of a double angle assembly used to support the beams forming part of the floor supporting a composite slab with shear studs. Although this type of connection is considered to be free to rotate, the hypothesis that this type of connection can transmit bending […]

Smart contracts are digital code similar to physical contracts, but hosted, executed and guaranteed by a trusted network called a blockchain. They are a significant step forward in the specification and enforcement of contracts because they can be executed and their conditions enforced much faster than physical contracts. A significant technical issue regards the verification […]

Estuaries are crucial stopover areas for juvenile salmon during outmigration and especially for Chinook salmon who can reside in this habitat for over a month. Many populations of Chinook salmon from the Pacific Northwest are threatened and endangered making conservation important for this species. In response to relatively small returns to spawning grounds, hatchery production […]

Leaky fuel tanks and spills from fuel storage and retail locations have resulted in over 30,000 hydrocarbon contaminated brownfield sites across Canada. The objective of this project is to develop an injectable solution that will encourage local bacteria in the subsurface to degrade oil, diesel, and gasoline hydrocarbons on brownfield sites. Lignin, a by-product from […]

Overcrowded emergency rooms and inadequate primary care, especially for marginalized segments of society, are two of the most important challenges faced in the Canadian Healthcare System. A new initiative by Vancouver Coastal Health is working to address both challenges through Urgent and Primary Care Centres, which provide care on a walk-in basis to people with […]

Ce projet propose la création d’un questionnaire qui permettra de fournir une rétroaction par rapport au profil d’habitudes financières des répondants. Considérant les impacts des finances personnelles sur la vie quotidienne et le bien-être individuel, un outil qui pourrait aiguiller les gens quant à leurs tendances et au contexte dans lequel ils prennent des décisions […]

La demande en beurre est en forte croissance au Canada ce qui nécessite de maximiser sa production. Toutefois, les différentes étapes de production de la crème en usine peuvent avoir un grand impact sur la texture du beurre. Il est donc primordial de développer des outils d’évaluation des crèmes afin de pouvoir proposer des stratégies […]

The Mandatory Entry-Level Training (MELT) virtual reality (VR) truck simulator under development by Serious Labs Inc. offers a training solution for boom and scissor lifts. MELT in Alberta is a Class 1 training program in compliance with the National Safety Code Standard 16 Commercial Truck Driver Entry Level Training. The purpose of this research project […]
