Our proposed research investigates how K-12 teachers learn and customize digital classroom tools and learning management systems and how they share this information with each other. In particular, we will be working with our partner Microsoft to investigate the use and customization of the recently developed OneNote Class Notebooks software that is increasingly being used […]

D-Pace, Inc. supplies high-quality precision equipment and services to the particle accelerator industry. D-Pace has identified a market for positively-charged helium ion sources. Cyclotrons require positive helium ions to generate radioisotopes as such as Astatine-211 for radioimmunotherapy, and Sn-117m for imaging and therapy. Complex and costly Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) ion sources are currently used […]

Diamond-bearing kimberlites are enigmatic deposits due to their complex volcanic plumbing systems and variable preservation. Although geophysical methods are well established and effective exploration techniques, they require independent and costly constraints (e.g., drilling) to limit the number of plausible targets. There is thus a clear need to enhance interpretation of geophysical data to optimize target […]

The project is to break down shoppers into different groups. Shoppers have different preferences, for instance some shoppers tend to buy online in the morning, some might prefer purchasing online at night. If one could group together shoppers based on their different shopping behaviours, one would then be able to come up with personalized sales […]

Extem supplies research grade mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and is looking to differentiate themselves by providing a proprietary human-derived growth media to replace the cow-derived fetal bovine serum (FBS) typically used. Pooled platelet lysate (PPL) may be a viable alternative. However, existing PPL methods lack quality control, standardization, and can result in up to 50% […]

The Kearl Treatment Wetland (KTW) is a 1 ha constructed wetland designed to treat runoff wastewater on the Kearl Oil Sands site in northern Alberta. This research studies the reclamation capacity of the KTW, and attempts to evaluate an environmental model that estimates chemical partitioning and removal efficiency. To evaluate the levels of contaminants entering […]

The goal of this project is to design an indoor navigation & sensing system for our UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) especially for under glass vegetable greenhouse nurseries environment. Plant Maintenance Operations (PMOs) refers to all the activities, such as inspection, pruning, and harvesting that are necessary to sustain a plant or a tree. PMOs have […]

Irwin’s Industrial Safety is a leading provider of safety consulting, safety training, and safety operations management. Over the last 4 years, Irwin’s Safety has compiled data on project safety and efficiency over a wide scope of projects. Moving forward, Irwin’s Safety seeks research into how this data can best be analyzed, visualized, and used to […]

Fraser River sockeye have become more difficult to manage due to climate change and increasing high adult in-river mortality events. Currently, managers use the difference between estimated lower river sockeye abundance at Mission hydroacoustic station and estimates of abundance attained on the spawning grounds through stock assessment; referred to as difference between estimates (DBE’s). Fraser […]

Determining the distribution and abundance of species is a central requirement for making sustainable resource management decisions. Ecofish, in collaboration with the University of Victoria, would like to evaluate if environmental DNA (eDNA) methods can be used to reliably detect low density salmonid species in streams, with the objective of implementing eDNA as a defensible […]
