Requirements for a Collective Intelligence Information Service for Design Teams

Design teams perform goal-oriented decision making, while communities of interest excel at collective discovery. Small groups tend to both receive and present information that is already shared, and do not like to change initial preferences once formed, while good decisions require all the relevant information. There are strategies to mitigate this bias. Technology can harness […]

Game Object Parallelization

In order to produce ever more powerful computer chips designers have begun to produce CPUs with duplicated infrastructure and machines with multiple CPUs. This allows these devices to perform actual simultaneous calculation. The most recent generation of video game consoles are built with this manner of technology, thus adding a new dimension of complexity to […]

Roof Plane Generation Algorithm for Slope Roofs

Automated Systems Research (ASR) has been supplying software to the roofing estimation market for close to 20 years. While the lack of competition in this niche market has provided for a steady ongoing business opportunity, it has created a vacuum of research in this area. One of the recurring research problems at ASR is that […]

Ab-initio Simulation on Morphology and Reactivity of Supported Platinum Nanoparticles

Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells (PEFC) are under intense research as highly efficient and clean power sources for transportation and portable applications. The Cathode Catalyst Layer of PEFC, usually formed by carbon supported Pt-based catalyst, is considered as the most critical component. It involves all processes relevant for fuel cell operation. Cost and abundance of Pt […]

Algorithm for Robust Spam Blog Detection

In the world of today’s internet, ‘web notifications’ are becoming increasingly common. As opposed to a traditional search which is executed once against entered keywords, a web notification search is performed on a regular or continual basis, keeping track of available information changes in real time. The user is then notified once an item of […]

Evaluating Harvest Management Procedures for Spatially-structured Fish Populations

Many fish populations have spatial structure which is not explicitly recognized in assessment or management. For example, Pacific herring are managed as five discrete stocks in BC, but there is evidence of both regional and within-stock diversity that may determine the capacity of the five large stocks to sustain themselves over time. This spatial structure […]

Mapping the Human Kineome and Phosphoproteome

This internship is the first in a series of four which Kinexus is undertaking with ACCELERATE BC which will support its overall ambitious goal of creating high resolution maps of internal cell communication networks that are gender, age, tissue and disease-specific. These maps will be needed for identifying disease diagnostic biomarkers that are phospho-sites and […]
