Le projet vise à utiliser des techniques analytiques avancées sur les données des visiteurs d’une plateforme web dédiée à la commercialisation d’assurance vie en ligne. Cette analyse offrira à l’entreprise partenaire et ses clients l’opportunité de mieux comprendre les utilisateurs de la plateforme. Cette compréhension accrue permettra à l’entreprise partenaire de raffiner ses communications et […]

The intern will be conducting surveys of breeding waterfowl at nine wetlands previously restored by Ducks Unlimited Canada. Wetlands provide abundant ecosystem services and are threatened by modification from environmentally damaging human activities that have reduced their quantity and function. Waterfowl are highly dependent on wetlands for many stages of their lifecycle and Ducks Unlimited […]

RealTerm Energy is developing an AI-based solution for predictively optimizing HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems in smart buildings. A substantial component of this solution is a data analyzer which will mine an enormous dataset to model the operational behaviours of the buildings in different locations around the world. Based on enormous datasets collected […]

Net zero energy building produces as much energy as it consumes, and it has a great potential for energy and carbon reductions. This research will study the design of net zero energy multiunit residential buildings (MURBs), as well as to create a simple Excel tool as an alternative to EnergyPlus for quick assessment. In the […]

This research aims at improving theoretical financial markets models in order to account for the presence of informed traders in a contemporary setting. Despite the fact that privileged information has always been present in various shape or form, theoretical models seemed to be able to account for such informational asymmetry and provide ways to measure […]

Fisheries are an important industry in Canada, particularly in rural communities that depend on marine resources for sustainable economic opportunities. But all fishing imposes environmental costs. In the case of northern fisheries, one cost of concern is the incidental bycatch of seabirds by fisheries. Birds, attracted to bait and discards from vessels, can get ensnared […]

Classification of mineral resources based on geological confidence level is mandated for disclosure by all of the international codes and standards. However, the definition of the “confidence level” is vague in all of these codes mostly because of the fact that every deposit has its own characteristics. This research attempts to establish a method that […]

Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) augmentation techniques such as differential GNSS and real-time kinetic (RTK) positioning have been critical for GNSS accuracy and usability. In a typical scenario, the correction data is streamed to a device in the field (rover station) from a reference (base) station. However, as the number of devices that rely on […]

Le projet consiste à développer un nouveau type de traitement pour une maladie liée à la croissance osseuse du bassin, nommé la dysplasie de la hanche. Présentement, cette maladie est souvent traitée en effectuant une chirurgie où le bassin est scié, réorienté et fixé en place. Alternativement, le traitement proposé serait d’installer une prothèse sur […]

Tissue engineering (TE) is the science focused on the creation of tissues that resemble the human physiology. The end goal of TE is to create tissues model diseases modeling, test therapeutics, and for regenerative medicine purposes. To create such tissues, a combination of cells, biomaterials, and growth factors are needed in order to create a […]

The goal of the project is to determine if the cannabis-derived, non-psychoactive compound, cannabigerol (CBG) (a key component of Cannabis), which is known to reduce inflammation in a mouse model of colon inflammation, can also prevent intestinal strictures (fibrosis) and narrowing of the intestine in the setting of intestinal inflammation. We will use cell culture […]

This project aims to use drones and machine learning to measure the net volume of wood residue left in piles after harvesting. The dry content of these piles, known as BIOMASS, can be utilized and reduce the use of non-renewable energies and materials. Since this residue is usually burned, the utilization can also decrease the […]
