Video surveillance systems have rapidly expanded, driven by their critical roles in security and traffic monitoring. This expansion has produced vast data volumes, causing bottlenecks in communication systems due to the time-sensitive and bandwidth-intensive nature of surveillance data. To address these challenges, research has increasingly focused on developing algorithms to compress redundant data effectively, evolving […]

Current leak detection methods for water pipelines, such as fixed acoustic devices and Pipeline Inspection Gadgets (PIGs), require shutting off the water supply and are often impractical for field inspections. These methods demand extensive workforce and time and often fail to detect smaller leaks effectively, leading to significant water loss, increased operational costs, and potential […]

Within the Canadian context, this project is expected to solve an environmental problem related to the contamination of soils by heavy metals from the mining industry and deal with a great amount of forest waste generated from the forest industry. This project aims to develop tannin hydrogel from wood residues from Canada, evaluate its performance […]

The proposed semi-active rolling seismic isolation system offers an innovative solution to address limitations in passive isolators when exposed to near-fault seismic waves with velocity pulses. Passive isolators effectively control acceleration responses against typical far-field seismic waves but can allow excessive displacement responses during near-fault events, risking collisions and structural damage. This system integrates sloped […]

Beacon Ortho hopes to identify and deliver additively manufactured devices to improve the patient experience, improved fit and comfort, and to reduce the extremely high amount of input waste in fabrication of prosthetic devices. This project aims to test additively manufactured trial devices against moulded thermoplastic trial devices, and composite definitive devices. Using ISO 10328 […]

Glioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive brain cancer with a five-year survival rate of less than 5%, primarily due to the tumor’s high recurrence rate. The critical challenge in GBM treatment is extending patient survival while maintaining quality of life. Current minimally invasive surgical techniques for GBM involve using endoscopic tools guided by optical microscopes and […]

The industrial drainage plow is a mechanized tool used for the installation of agricultural drainage and land reclamation. This research aims to optimize the plow’s shape for various soil conditions to increase the tile installation speed and the service life, and to reduce the drag force, which will reduce the fuel consumption. Numerical methods will […]

The recognition of gut microbiota, its interplay with human tissues and cells, and the signaling pathways they could generate in concrete with together, specially once imposed to gastrointestinal medications, encouraged researchers designing and establishing bioengineered platforms, enable to serve as a discovery tool for developing of microbiome-related therapeutics, monitoring medications combating detrimental effects of antimicrobial […]

The proposed project, EcoTruck Smart Navigator, aims to develop an AI-powered software solution that helps electric truck fleets optimize their routes and improve range estimation. By refining and testing our prototype, we will provide fleet operators with a tool that reduces travel time and energy consumption, addressing key challenges in the transition to zero-emission vehicles.
