Like humans and other animals, plants also get sick, exhibit disease symptoms, and even die. Over the past 100 years, farmers have heavily relied upon chemical fertilizers and pesticides in order to increase crop productivity and quality. However, the environmental pollution caused by excessive use and misuse of agrochemicals has led to considerable changes in […]

L’entreprise Alizeti souhaite mettre sur le marché une solution abordable permettant de convertir un vélo conventionnel en vélo électrique. Le projet de l’entreprise s’inscrit dans le développement d’alternatives aux modes de transport traditionnels, notamment l’automobile. La technologie développée par l’entreprise repose sur une plateforme novatrice intégrée dans un porte-bagages de vélo. Le mécanisme de propulsion […]

The aim of this project is to determine which families are resistant to bacterial kidney disease, a bacterial infection that affects both wild and farmed Atlantic salmon. To do this many families of Atlantic salmon from a commercial aquaculture company are to be purposefully infected with the bacteria that causes the disease to establish which […]

Currently there are no effective tools to capture and measure return on investment (ROI) in social media in conjunction with more traditional data points that come from sources such as Flyer Tracking and Point of Sale (POS) systems. Using visual analytics techniques, this project will develop and evaluate a set of ROI metrics that will […]

The aeronautic and aerospace industries are exploring new approached to reduce the mass of cables, bulky electronic systems. This rationally leads onto aircraft weight reduction as well as the amount of CO2 and greenhouse gas emitted by aircrafts. To reduce the mass of cables, power harvesting technique could be utilized. In this approach, the energy […]

The healthcare industry is shifting from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) care to real world data (RWD) to understand how well an intervention performs in clinical practice. The best source of RWD is source data – that is, data that are collected at the interface of the patient and the health care system. The University of […]

Alpha Technologies, a Canadian leader in power electronics, and the University of British Columbia have teamed up to develop new automated testing technologies to speed the development and certification of power supply products. The automated test systems will run the products through their paces simulating real world scenarios and environmental conditions. The ability to quickly […]

Les systèmes d’imagerie ultra sensible et de haute performance comportent des capacités en comptage de photon peu documentées pour éclairer le choix des futurs utilisateurs en diagnostic biomédical. En intégrant l’équipe de Nüvü Caméras, le stagiaire aura comme objectif principal d’étudier et de concevoir un outils de mesure de la performance en imagerie à comptage […]

Mitigating the corrosion of reinforcement in RC structures is a critical issue for Canada’s civil infrastructure, especially with the continual use of deicing salts during winter. This pilot study will provide crucial information on the functional range of resistivity of repair materials/concretes and anode spacing, which will optimize the efficiency of an economical technology (zinc […]

The development of test means for aircraft flight control systems for is a complex, multidisciplinary and time consuming task. In this project a Master student will develop a reusable model-based development framework, based on an open source tool and methodology. This model-based systems engineering approach will allow the formalization of the generic aspects of the […]

Sitting can become particularly problematic when individuals remain in a fixed position for a prolonged period of time. Pressure can develop in the areas of the body that are compressed by the seat, which can lead to a significant reduction in blood flow to the surrounding tissues. As a result, seat adjustability becomes necessary for […]

Bombardier Transport est un chef de file mondial dans l’industrie ferroviaire comprenant des unités de production partout dans le monde. La compagnie souhaite développer une variante novatrice en soudage laser utilisant un mode oscillatoire adaptée à l’aluminium pour la fabrication ferroviaire. Ce mode de soudage permet de modifier la dynamique d’application de l’énergie laser et […]
