Predation on smolts as they out-migrate down natal rivers may significantly contribute to the decline and lack of recovery of Chinook salmon in British Columbia. A prior study of mortality of Chinook smolts released by the Cowichan Hatchery suggests only a small portion of the fish reached the ocean due to predation by raccoons, river […]

The partner is creating artificial intelligence which can help diagnose over 1,300 skin conditions with dermatologist-level accuracy. They are focused on building the functionality that is to be deployed through their app and web-interface that makes it possible to snap a photo, ask questions, and get an instant diagnosis. The partner is very focused on […]

The goal of this project is to design and implement a mobile “dashboard” interface for an ocean vessel profiling device that captures speed, location, torque, and other data relevant to ship powering measurement and prediction. The interface will provide real-time visualizations that a pilot, engineer, or scientist can use to monitor the impact of ship […]

Mannarino Systems & Software Inc. is currently developing M-RTOS, which is a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS), designed specifically to meet the requirements of the aeronautical industry’s ARINC 653 Avionics Application Software Standard Interface specification, and supporting a wide range of avionic systems. Throughout this phase of the project, the Concordia partner will provide a synthesis […]

Surgery is undoubtedly one of the most important events in a person’s life. It is thus imperative that a feedback system is in place to ensure that proper care is provided to patients during surgery. Currently, such systems involve experienced surgeons watching hours of surgery to determine how well the surgery was performed based on […]

The objective of the project is to design a system that is able to generate context-wise reasonable and meaningful responses to open-domain conversation queries. In open-domain conversation generation, the retrieval-based methods and neural network generative models are two main approaches; there are also some recent research about improving the context consistency of conversation generation. In […]

This project seeks to accumulate information on several focused research initiatives, either recently completed or currently being conducted by partners of the Living Architectural Systems (LAS) group, and provide analysis of these with respects to their potential contribution to a paradigm of “living systems” in architecture. This project is embedded in the need to transcend […]

The partner organization in this project has recently developed a new imaging technology that is a potentially suitable platform for the development of miniaturized imaging spectrometer instruments that can provide rapid qualitative analysis of diverse types of samples without use of any chemicals. These instruments have numerous potential practical applications in the agricultural, food, clinical, […]

Situé dans les domaines du Storytelling immersif et du design expérientiel cette recherche consiste en la transposition d’un projet artistique existant pour un environnement de réalité mixte. L’environnement sera partagé, plusieurs personnes participeront à l’expérience esthétique VR de l’oeuvre qui sera une nouvelle version du parcours créatif de Michel Lemieux et Victor Pilon. Dans ce […]

Document fraud is increasing and undermining the integrity of high quality education in Canada. With over 100,000 fake diplomas sold in the USA every year and legitimate universities incurring significant expenses protecting their intellectual property rights together with negative reputational spill-overs for legitimate universities, blockchain-based platforms, a technology in which transactions that are agreed to […]

La présente demande concerne le chantier de recherche sur le « plumitif accessible » lequel s’inscrit dans l’axe Connaissance et conscience du droit du projet ADAJ (Accès au droit et à la justice) financé par le Conseil de recherche en sciences humaines (CRSH) en partenariat. En effet comprendre le contenu des plumitifs est un défi […]

Resilience is toughness, or the ability to function and bounce back after a traumatic event. In this Mitacs research project, the focus is on housing, and resilience results from features that protect Canadian lives and property from natural disasters. One of the ways that governments ensure the safety of Canadians is through The Canada Model […]
