High levels of situation awareness during flight operations are integral to mission success. Virtual reality (VR) systems can enhance operator situation awareness via advantageous 3D displays that stream data sources (entities from air, land, and sea) in a manner closely aligned with real world structures. One potential impediment to the implementation of VR devices in […]

This PDF will further our understanding of how augmented reality, an emerging technology, can improve collaborative situation awareness. In particular, this project will investigate the best ways for information to be shared when two or more individuals each use an augmented reality device. For example, in maritime environments there is always the risk of man-overboard […]

Although there is growing awareness of the need for sports events to take account of their environmental impacts and be “greener”, few sports organizations comprehensively assess their environmental performance due to the lack of tailored methods and tools. Small events in particular have limited resources and would benefit from a simplified assessment approach that allows […]

This research project is drawing on a previous study into blockchain technology. We plan to take our findings into the real world to investigate the potential for the blockchain network to improve supply chain management systems. The research will involve identifying areas where blockchain technology can enhance supply chain management processes.We believe that blockchain processes […]

Many entrepreneurs have passions for their ventures because they regard the ventures as their babies. Hence they are willing to put in greater amounts of “sweat equity” even if this greater effort is not fairly rewarded. This feeling is elicited by the entrepreneur’s psychological ownership. Although some psychological ownership is beneficial for new venture survival, […]

The proposed research project will take place on three nature reserves owned by the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) (Miscou, NB – 780 acres, Escuminac, NB – 630 acres, Salmonier, NL – 440 acres), where NCC wants to understand how the land is being used by the community, the motivation and beliefs of those using […]

Nearly 70% of all drug candidates are not pursued for pharmaceutical development because they cannot be dissolved into solutions appropriate for human use. Cuprous Pharmaceuticals Inc. (CPI) recently discovered that some of these drugs could be dissolved in the presence of certain metal ions. Furthermore, a number of metal-drug complexes are more therapeutically active than […]

Metaplex is a new approach to prepare metal-based drugs (metal complexes) for use in humans. It has been patented by BC Cancer and is in the process of being licensed to Cuprous Pharmaceuticals (CPI), the company which I helped to create and I currently work for. Metal complexes (MCs) are a new class of drugs […]

Dans le cadre de ce projet, l’étudiant-e stagiaire évaluera l’impact d’un supplément quotidien de poudre d’algues brunes (InSea2) sur différents paramètres liés à la prévention du diabète chez une population à risque. L’étude évaluera également la contribution du traitement sur la perte de poids associée à un programme de perte de poids modérée. Le (la) […]

La réaction de carbonylation du méthanol a été mise au point dans les années 40 par l’équipe de chercheur de la compagnie Monsanto. Ce procédé permet la production d’acide acétique et s’effectue jusqu’à maintenant en phase liquide sur des catalyseurs à base de Rh. Enerkem Inc. a développé un procédé de carbonylation de méthanol en […]

It is believed that defects in the human cell phosphorylation network are related to at least 400 different diseases such as Cancer, Alzheimer, and Diabetes. The goal of this research is to model the components of the cell phosphorylation network (e.g. kinases, substrates, phosphatases, and SH2-PTB domain proteins) and their interactions, and ultimately to build […]

Surrogate safety analysis is a growing field of road safety where the diagnosis is based on direct observations of traffic and events with some relationship to accidents, in particular traffic conflicts or near misses. Such proactive methods have several advantages, such as shorter observations periods, lower costs and better insights into accident processes. Yet, their […]
