Privacy Enhanced Decentralized Identity System

Currently, a number of public and private organizations have implemented various identity management solutions to manage authentication; authorization privileges of their users within or across system and enterprise boundaries. The idea of using a third party identity provider (IdP) to access a relying party (RP) is not new, and both RP and IdP have much […]

Experimental and field-based validation of environmental DNA (eDNA) monitoring of juvenile and resident salmonids in British Columbia streams

Determining the distribution and abundance of species is a central requirement for making sustainable resource management decisions. Ecofish, in collaboration with the University of Victoria, would like to evaluate if environmental DNA (eDNA) methods can be used to reliably detect low density salmonid species in streams, with the objective of implementing eDNA as a defensible […]

Testing plant-derived products as biopesticides for plant pathogen management

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 […]

UAVs for Building Envelope Inspection and Energy Audits

Space Heating and Cooling in residential, commercial, and institutional buildings accounted for roughly 20% of Canada’s overall energy. Early detection and repair of building envelope defects ensures continued energy performance and building longevity, thus energy audits are a necessary, but time-intensive process using today’s methods. Utilizing the emergent technology of small unmanned aerial vehicles, UAVs, […]

System on Chip for aerospace embedded equipment

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 […]

Design and construction guidance for composite geomembrane/clay barrier systems

At landfills and industrial waste containment facilities, synthetic polymer membranes (known as geomembranes) are placed along the bottom and sides of the containment cell to prevent leakage of contaminants to the environment. These geomembranes are subject to large loads from the overlying waste, resulting in bulging of the geomembrane due to the overlying particles. By […]

Segmentation automatique des artères coronaires dans les séquences angiographiques par apprentissage profond

La séparation visuelle automatique des artères coronaires dans les images médicales, appelée segmentation, est un prérequis pour le diagnostic et l’évaluation automatisée de pathologies cardio-vasculaires. C’est également un outil très important pour les cliniciens dans la planification des interventions. Nous proposons dans ce projet d’améliorer la segmentation automatique des artères coronaires en profitant des récentes […]
