Recent market instability, volatility, and Bitcion (BTC) halving event combined to create significant challenges for this sector, resulting in many hashing power producers being forced into bankruptcy. The sector has grown very rapidly and has been plagued with boom-bust cycles that have been difficult for producers to weather due to the lack of hedging tools/financial instruments at their disposal. Pow.re Corporation offers clearinghouse-type services providing hashing power producers the ability to sell their risk to speculators. We are building an unprecedented clearing and settlement system for new financial instruments based off of the underlying commodity to proof of work networks. Concurrently, providing speculators with an ample arbitrage opportunity and the ability to hedge against unique market dynamics.
Digital asset issuance relies on proof of work consensus. Production capacity and value of goods produced of any one network participant is a multi-variable problem with continuous fluctuations. The goal of this research is to model the market dynamics impacting these new instruments and designing levers to mitigate adverse effects.

Remedy Clinical is implementing its Telehealth platform in Primary Care physician clinics and Allied Healthcare Professional Practices. The platform provides virtual consultation capabilities that conform to recommendations for physical distancing as required during the Covid-19 pandemic and a personal health record (PHR) that is owned and managed by the patient or client that can be shared amongst care providers, enabling them to provide the best-integrated care plan. The platform also includes a real-time scheduling system, videoconferencing capabilities, and secure communications for text, audio, video, and file sharing. We are gathering market and user experience information to identify common enhancements and improvements to prepare for the next version of the system. Remedy Clinical is looking for a Market Research Intern to help identify marketing opportunities for our platform by researching what features and products people may want in this area, identify target customers and clients, and establish appropriate price points. We are looking for an individual with a passion for innovation in healthcare technology to contribute to changes or enhancements of the existing system

L’apport de l’étudiant se concentrera beaucoup sur la gestion de projet et la recherche autour des initiatives menées par le DG et le responsable du développement des affaires. La validation de nouvelles initiatives innovantes dans le cadre du milieu entrepreneurial nécessite beaucoup d’itérations en raison de l’incertitude, du risque financier, des risques réputationnels pour l’organisation et des enjeux de négociation avec les partenaires. Un élève maitrisant les dernières méthodologies du management pourra alors nous être des plus utiles dans la mise en place de nos activités

For this project, we will develop the statistical theory to support, as well as a full functioning
prototype for, a large-scale multidimensional data visualization application. This application,
which will be fully scalable, will include an interactive user dashboard with customizable
widgets. By taking a methodological approach to this type of research , along with an agile
approach to development, we will create tangible outputs which will have both commercial &
educational value, and will make a substantive contribution to the Canadian technology
space. This work will also help significantly advance the mining, modeling & visualization
ability of Canadian technology media companies.

Finance has experienced a significant increase in studies tackling issues related to Sustainability in recent years. The majority of them rely on third-party ESG ratings which are diverse, not transparent, and lack standardization. Our project aims to use text-mining techniques to identify ESG dimensions in sustainability-related documents and offer an automatic measurement across the ESG dimensions. One objective of the generate text-based ESG scores will be then to establish correlations and trends between financial performances and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs.

Due to the potential for significant cost-savings, many companies are turning their attention to digital simulations which produce an enormous amount of data. For companies to realize the benefits of having access to this data they need tools that allow efficient and accurate extraction of information from the data set. The goal of this project is to conduct the research required to develop a framework for the implementation of machine learning algorithms to provide engineering predictions for industrial applications. With its mandate to develop state-of-the-art tools for physics-based engineering applications, SOTAES is well-positioned to develop this innovative product.

Liver failure is rapidly becoming a health epidemic in North America, mostly due to large increases in fatty liver disease. The liver normally clears ammonia from the bloodstream, however, when the liver fails ammonia builds up to dangerous levels and causes cognitive impairment which can progress to coma and death. Neuractas Therapeutics has developed a Zisca to treat the cognitive impairment caused by liver failure and will be testing its new therapeutic in a rat model of the disease. Zisca is an ammonia scavenger, a drug which binds to ammonia-containing molecules in the blood leading to their excretion in the urine. If Zisca functions as designed, Neuractas Therapeutics will continue its development eventually moving towards clinical trials.

The general objective of the proposed activity is to increase the future productivity of Burrard Inlet and the contribution of seafood to the diet of Tsleil-Waututh Nation (TWN) members in support of the TWN Cumulative Effects Monitoring Initiative. Specifically we propose to (1) quantify the ecological variables driving contemporary clam density, biomass and diversity; (2) experimentally test the effects of TWN clam tending practices on contemporary clam growth rates and survivorship; and (3) to inform decisions about resilient TWN clam management strategies in Burrard Inlet.

COVID-19 has introduced significant challenges to healthcare systems and caregivers to provide quality care to older adults and adults with developmental disabilities (DD) living in long-term care facilities (LTCFs). As a result, regular doctor visits are limited, and demand for caregivers is on the rise. Utilizing a Collaborative Service Robot (CSR) technology within a LTCF can improve accessibility to healthcare by providing a medium for the residents to connect to healthcare professionals on demand and simultaneously reduce the risk of transferring infection. The ultimate goal of this project is to develop a CSR that assists seniors or adults with DD and their caregivers in LTCFs. The premise of this project is to integrate a telehealth application into the CSR prototype and to design and develop user-friendly human robot interactions (HRIs) for the LTCF residents to provide a seamless and secure communication medium.
