Statistical and harmonic analysis of 3-dimensional motions of objects or humans are instrumental to establish how these motions differ, depending on various influences. When such motions involve no tearing, they may be described by elements of the Euclidean Group. Algorithms developed in the author’s Ph.D. dissertation exploit the unique properties of Conformal Geometric Algebra to […]

The project “Effect of stilbenoid extracts from viticulture by-products on grape quality” aims to contribute to the development of sustainable strategies for grape production in vineyards. Grapevines are susceptible to parasitic diseases and thus are conventionally treated with synthetic or copper-based solutions, with significant environmental drawbacks. Studies have shown that stilbenoids possess potential as a […]

The City of Langley is in the process of establishing the City’s Citizen Assembly, the focus of which will be Transforming Community Safety through Well-being and Resiliency. The structure of the Assembly and its mandate is based on a robust community engagement model centering quantitative and qualitative data and an assessment of effective practices in […]

Mining activities generate large quantities of waste rock after valuable metals are extracted. Upon exposure to air and water, a diverse range of metals and metalloids are released and mobilized to the surrounding environment. There is an urgent need to manage the environmental risk posed by mine waste rock piles given the scale of the […]

STEMCELL Technologies is a rapidly growing Vancouver-based Canadian biotech company with more than 500 employees and annual sales of more than $80M worldwide primarily serving the burgeoning stem cell field. Blood stem cells were one of the first type of stem cell to be identified and have been used clinically for many transplantation applications for […]

As an important medicinal plant, Cannabis sativa produces bioactive molecules that provide symptom relief for conditions such as severe cancer pain, nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy. The cannabinoid biosynthetic pathway that generates bioactive molecules has been studied for over a decade. However, understanding of transcriptional regulators that control cannabinoid synthesis is fairly limited. The […]

This research project will explore how to make augmented reality (AR) tools more accurate and easier to use in steel fabrication workshops. The intern will work with Eterio Realities Inc., a Canadian company that created FabStation. This AR system helps workers see 3D digital models overlaid on steel parts to guide their work. Currently, FabStation […]

Indigenous peoples on the northwest coast have modified marine and coastal ecosystems to enhance food resources, shaping both local biodiversity and ecosystem structure since Time Immemorial. Forest Gardens near villages enhance food plant abundance and diversity, while Clam Gardens and managed clam beds improve clam productivity in the intertidal zone. Today these sites remain vital […]

Antibodies are biomolecules naturally produced by immune cells, called antibody-secreting cells, to protect against infection and diseases. Each antibody-secreting cell makes a unique type of antibody that binds specifically to a target molecule. A major challenge in developing antibody therapeutics is selecting the most effective antibodies from the billions produced within any given host. Our […]

We aim to enhance AI learning of MR images by providing scans of the pectoralis major, deltoid, and gluteus maximus from young healthy adults to Deep Anatomical Federated Network (DAFNE). DAFNE is a decentralized AI software that improves over time through user refinement. Machine Learning (ML) models enable faster automated analysis, distinguishing anatomical structures and […]
