La production mondiale annuelle de plastiques est estimée à plus de 335 millions de tonnes et risque de doubler d’ici 20 ans. De cette production, moins de 26 % est actuellement recyclé; plus de 74 % de ces plastiques sont donc redirigés à l’enfouissement ou relargués dans l’environnement. Il est clair que l’accumulation des plastiques […]

UVIC and UBC, in collaboration with industry will be developing the Earth Data Store, to provide unparalleled access to standardized temporal and spatial earth observation data and develop industry-specific applications that will allow end-users to see how a region evolves over time using visual interactive maps and running deep learning algorithms. The Earth Data Store […]

G networks have emerged as a promising solution for Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) to offer ultra-fast mobile broadband and ultra-low latency services with exceptional reliability for consumers. By leveraging softwarization, Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV), MNOs can offset the high capital and operational expenditures incurred due the additional deployment of legacy equipment. […]

Exonetik designs, develops and manufactures magnetorheological (MR) actuator systems that enable novel functionalities to satisfy unmet customer needs. In collaboration with Exonetik engineers, interns will participate in the design, development and testing of customized magnetorheological actuators for robotics applications. The expected results of these subprojects will be prototypes that will be tested to demonstrate the […]

En recherche académique, les besoins d’analyse des chercheurs dépassent souvent les capacités de leurs ordinateurs à effectuer ces analyses. Calcul Canada est un organisme qui s’assure que les chercheurs canadiens puissent avoir un accès gratuit à des serveurs de calcul performants à la grandeur du pays. Nous tenons non seulement à un accès équitable aux […]

Data has become a central part of any organization’s day-to-day operation. Organizations are looking to turn this information into actionable insight. The Dialysis Measurement, Analysis and Reporting System (DMAR) is designed to track healthcare quality indicators where changing practice will have high impact. The DMAR system applies rigorous methods to measure key health care performance […]

Driver error is a contributing cause of most motor vehicle collisions. Consequently, accident rates are much higher in scenarios where safe transit requires increased reliance on driver ability and decision-making. Intersections, for example, are potential conflict zones, because unexpected hazards are common. For accident reconstructionists, like those at Kodsi Engineering, understanding hazard response enables comparison […]

The proposed research project will determine the significance of and catalog historic papers and documents held by the National History Committee (NHC: established 1983) of the Canadian Society for Civil Engineering (CSCE: established as the Canadian Society of Civil Engineers in 1887). These records have been rather haphazardly stored by various Chairs of the NHC […]

Malignant melanoma is an aggressive form of skin cancer that is generally fatal if untreated. Approximately 10-20% of patients treated with ipilimumab may experience significant long term survival benefits. However, a UK agency recently recommended against public funding for ipilimumab on the grounds that no biomarkers have been discovered to identify the small group of […]

Interns will perform research leading to the design or the implementation of new economic strategies that can be utilized in the design, financing, monitoring and evaluation of projects at different stages. Specifically, interns will work on an analysis of equitable access to broadband connectivity in Kingston, ON, as part of the City’s plan to expand […]

L’enquête vise à documenter et à comprendre les pratiques de consultation, attitudes et perceptions des Canadiens, francophones et anglophones, quant aux informations d’actualité dans l’environnement numérique, ainsi que sur les plateformes traditionnelles. Il s’agit de l’édition canadienne d’un sondage international piloté par le Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, à l’Université d’Oxford. Cette étude […]
