La crevette nordique est une des plus importantes espèces exploitées à l’est du Canada, moteur d’approvisionnement et de développement pour de nombreuses communautés côtières. Depuis quelques années, les stocks de crevette nordique semblent en déclin. Le réchauffement, l’acidification et la désoxygénation des océans pourraient venir d’autant plus affecter la viabilité et la rentabilité de cette […]

With increasing security risks in critical network infrastructures and emerging cloud technologies with shared capabilities, as well as increasing regulatory requirements on privacy, and data protection, there is a growing need for new approaches to manage security and privacy compliance.

Le but de ce projet est de mettre en place un modèle de machine learning afin de détecter les pannes sur les actifs informatiques avant que celles-ci ne se présentent. La maintenance prédictive permet de monitorer l’état de santé des actifs informatiques et de prendre des décisions appropriées lorsque ceux-ci se dégradent. En effet une […]

This project aims to examine the effect of unconditional direct cash-transfers to recently homeless individuals in Vancouver, BC, Canada. We will conduct a randomized controlled trial to distribute a one-time unconditional $7,500 cash lump sum to 50 recently homeless individuals from shelters in Vancouver. We will also provide a supplementary motivational training for half of […]

Glass sponges build their skeletons out of silicon dioxide (i.e. glass). While these animals are found all over the world in very deep water, they only exist shallower than 50 m in a few places in the world. In very rare cases, new sponges grow on top of existing, dead sponges and form reefs in […]

The benefit of electronic patient management systems within hospitals has been previously demonstrated through enhanced communication and collaboration between departments. However many hospitals within the Canadian healthcare system do not currently use electronic tracking systems. Furthermore, the implementation of these systems has been challenging leading to poor adoption of these technologies resulting in limited benefit. […]
