The objective of the research is to provide international development agencies and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) with decision making and evaluation tools that are practical and, at the same time, are based on sound academic foundations. These tools are specific to a sector, such as nutrition, and a country, such as Guatemala. The resulting documents will […]

Developing a model for a system can come with a lot of uncertainty, especially in the early stages of development. Recent research has be done into removing uncertainty during early stage models. Doctalk plans to use modern research to develop a viable product for market, while contributing to the process of the research being applied […]

Thales Canada Avionique développe entre autres des produits constitués de calculateurs (des modules contenant des cartes électroniques constituant des ordinateurs) jumelés à des modules d’interfaces, utilisés présentement à bord d’avions d’affaires produit par Textron, Bombardier Inc et Gulfstream Aerospace. Ces produits contiennent un nombre trop important de composants électroniques discrets de basses et hautes tensions […]

Curcumin is a well-studied wonder molecule that displays many health benefits, including anticancer and cancer preventive activities. It has undergone / is undergoing over 100 clinical trials but has not yet culminated into a clinical drug owing to its poor uptake in body. Curcumin’s chemical structure offers an excellent prototype for modification potentially leading to […]

Dexterity Consulting offers a service to match donors to charities, based on the alignment of the donors’ preferences and the charities goals. This matching process is currently being done manually by an expert in the field, working at Dexterity […]

Some diseases and brain injuries can seriously impair language. Patterns in an individual’s speech can allow computers to describe these impairment with a high degree of accuracy. These techniques can be used to test large groups of people for drug trials and potentially replace pen-and-paper based testing methods. To fully automate this process, speech recognition […]

Les plantes sont riches en composés naturels ayant des propriétés antioxydantes et antimicrobiennes. Ces composés sont souvent des composés phénoliques ou des terpènes. Plusieurs études ont montré l’effet antimicrobien d’extraits d’épices et de fruits. Cependant aucune étude n’a permis à ce jour de caractériser l’écorce de bois. L’écorce de bois est un sous-produit des produits […]

Disposable microfluidic devices, also known as labs-on-a-chip, made out of plastic materials have seen increasing applications in chemical and biomedical analysis. In most applications, microfluidic devices usually incorporate small channels and chambers for micro sized dimensions, using heights between a few hundred to a few micrometers. Currently, manufacturing processes have been established to create these […]

In this project, we will apply machine learning to perform image style classification. We will build a system that uses image style classification to increase user engagement in an eCommerce platform setting. We will study the effects of user preferences for particular image styles on their engagement with the platform. Image style classification is the […]

Robots are increasingly seeing use in manufacturing. However, current robot technology is not sufficient to perform all tasks. Researchers have proposed using human-robot collaborations to exploit robots’ ability to do repetitive and boring jobs and the ability of human workers to perform fine-motor skills in unstructured environments. In the proposed research, we consider algorithms to […]

This project concentrates on the scenario optimization method which does not need to make any assumption for the underlying asset distribution and directly incorporate such uncertainty into the objective or constraint functions through stochastic programming. The scenario optimization is performed under different parameters and constraints while Markowitz and Black-Litterman model are taken as the benchmarks […]
