The research project aims to improve the safety and effectiveness of endotracheal intubation, a critical medical procedure. Endotracheal intubation involves inserting a breathing tube into a patient’s airway using a laryngoscope and is commonly required for surgery and in emergency situations. The research intern will study a novel technique called assisted video laryngoscopy (AVL), achieved […]

As network speeds reach hundreds of gigabits per second and beyond, there is increasing interest in using programmable Network Interface Cards (NICs) to improve network performance. A key area of focus is accelerating transport protocols, which significantly impact network performance. Transport protocols are continuously re-designed and updated, especially in large-scale networks, to optimize network performance. […]

Seyon Tax, a Toronto-based tax and accounting firm, specializes in comprehensive financial services for individuals and businesses. Among its key services, Seyon Tax provides payroll management solutions for small businesses that require streamlined, compliant payroll processing. However, the firm faces challenges with its manual, fragmented payroll processes, leading to inefficiencies, potential errors, and increased operational […]

The project is about removing noise from video signals (for example, those taken by a mobile phones or professional cinema camera). Our current software first detects the type and power of the noise and based on that remove the noise from video. This proposal has three objectives. The first is to handle a specific type […]

Wastewater treatment plants contribute to greenhouse gas emissions through the release of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O), which are produced during various treatment processes. During biological nutrient removal in wastewater treatment, processes such as activated sludge can generate N2O (a potent greenhouse gas) during total nitrogen removal. Further energy consumption in […]

The project will recruit and interview staff at a number of long-term care (LTC) facilities about their experience of making difficult, ethical decisions. Materials from these interviews will be used to write a number of case studies, which participants will then discuss in focus groups. All interviews and focus groups will be recorded and transcribed. […]

With the growing integration of renewable energy into power networks, their dynamic behavior has undergone significant changes. To ensure stability, it is essential to accurately model the dynamic behavior of key equipment, such as synchronous generators and inverter-based sources, within these networks. This project focuses on the implementation, analysis, development, and validation of established models […]

Controlled environment agriculture (CEA) is progressing toward innovative solutions specifically with remote monitoring instrumentation and artificial intelligence, can predict and detect physiological plant characteristics that will improve crop yield. The overall objective of this study is to design and build a test growth chamber to evaluate and remotely monitor environmental conditions and plant health. Environmental […]

L’application est une plateforme collaborative qui capte l’information aussi bien sur le cloud que via des données privées afin de générer automatiquement […]

The Fraser River estuary tidal marsh is declining, and loss of this key habitat has wide ecosystem implications, from supporting juvenile salmon to migrating shorebirds. The Sturgeon Bank Sediment Enhancement Project is attempting to reverse this trend. This project will assess the short-term effects of anthropogenic sediment additions through assessment of biogeochemical and microalgal indicators.

Osteoarthritis is a chronic painful disease of joints that involves the progressive destruction of the articular cartilage and bone and leads to pain. It affects both humans and animals. Animals can serve as models for the human disease and in this case we will study equine OA. There is currently no effective medication that can […]

Hepatic encephalopathy is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. As an initial part of her thesis, the intern will contribute to determining priorities for the development of an outpatient cirrhosis database inclusive of hepatic encephalopathy quality measures. The findings will be disseminated through the intern’s thesis, peer-reviewed publications, and conference presentations, contributing to the […]
