The project between Plato Testing Inc. and NBCC has been built to support indigenous students of the software testing program to gain industry experience and utilize the skills they have developed in class. The software testing industry is ever growing, and requires talented students with an understanding of programming and software development to make software […]

Time spent in homes and in transport micro-environments contribute significantly the exposure to air pollutants. Air quality is significantly impacted by the increased green house gas emissions and effects of climate change. However, concentrations in many of these are poorly quantified and challenging to monitor due to limited space, power and Wifi accessibility. This project […]

Our galaxy the Milky Way and our orbiting companion Andromeda are the dominant members of a small collection of galaxies, the Local Group, which is about 3 million light years across. Recently, it was recognized that the Local Group is simply a mass concentration in a thin “Local Sheet” of galaxies spanning 35 million light […]

Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) for robotic grasping has been actively studied in recent years. Each DRL needs a reward function to interact with its environment and figure out how desirable or suitable the actions it takes in each state are. The reward formulation of DRL is usually a linear summation of the reward components, which […]

The proposed project aims to investigate the effectiveness of using music-based interventions (MBIs) to enhance memory and cognitive function in individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), particularly Mandarin Chinese-speaking individuals. The project involves two main objectives: a behavioral study to assess the impact of music-assisted verbal learning on memory recall, and an fMRI study to […]
