Eleven million people are living with diabetes or prediabetes in Canada. As many as 15% of people with diabetes develop a foot ulcer, usually due to neuropathy, a lack of pain feedback, which would otherwise allow a person to recognize areas of high pressure or friction on the foot. These foot ulcers can develop infections, […]

Artificial neural networks (ANNs) have become a widely used machine learning tool in many different and broad fields of application. ANNs may be trained from training examples to perform various prediction or classification tasks. However, one of the problems exhibited by ANNs is that they typically overlearn the training examples and perform poorly on new […]

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) vibrometry is a noninvasive tool for functional imaging of the middle ear. It provides vibrational responses and also anatomical images of the same ear. Our objective here was to explore the potential of OCT vibration measurements of the middle ear structures, to distinguish among middle-ear disorders. Our approach was to build […]

Network operators and telecom vendors intend to ensure the security of mobile networks. However, the time between discovering a new security vulnerability in the network and developing and deploying its effective fixes can be delayed weeks and more often in months. Thus, it leaves a window to the attacker to cause more damage. Most of […]

The objective of this project is to improve the quality of the hard-to-reach areas of the hydraulic turbine blades using abrasive waterjet polishing method. By this way, the energy lost caused by parietal friction between the turbine blades and the flow will be decreased and consequently the efficiency of the turbine will be improved. Previously, […]

INO, is currently developing thin, flexible and large area printed optical sensors for multiple imaging applications spanning visible to terahertz wavelengths. These applications often require the need of specialty optics, this is where superlenses and metamaterial passive optical components are thought to be advantageous. Superlenses and metamaterial passive optical components are advanced technologies that can […]

At the International CCS Knowledge Centre (Knowledge Centre), we take climate action seriously. We are dedicated to advancing the understanding and use of large-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) to manage greenhouse gas emissions globally. We offer practical, hands-on experience-based guidance, and technical advice for planning, design, construction, and operation of large-scale applications of CCS […]

Osteoporosis is a prevailing skeletal disease that was diagnosed in over 2.3 million Canadians as of 2016-2017, with 80% of this population being women. Osteoporosis imposes many health complications such as increased likelihood of bone fractures and implant failures. Since bone is a dynamic material that is constantly remodelling, it’s important to understand how osteoporotic […]

The industrial drainage plow is a mechanized tool used for the installation of agricultural drainage and land reclamation. A large machine controls the depth and angle of the mole to determine the grade and depth of the tile for piping or cable to be installed. The plow is used for agricultural drainage, trenching, and installation […]

Azimut Médical est une entreprise montréalaise spécialisée dans le développement de vêtements gonflables de protection intelligents spécifiquement adaptés à la prévention des fractures de la hanche chez les personnes âgées. En effet, chaque année, plus de 330 000 personnes âgées souffrent d’une fracture à la hanche en Amérique du Nord seulement. Ces fractures coûtent plus […]

The vehicle routing problem and its extensions have been successful in optimizing a measure such as time or cost, but only when these measures can be accurately estimated or approximated. However, this is not the case in complex environments. Particularly in urban routing, it is generally complicated, and efficient routing requires tacit knowledge of the […]

In applications arising in project management, warehouse stock management and project deliveries, several activities that use a common resource need to be executed in a sequential manner in order to keep nonnegative resource levels. As an example, consider newly produced items entering a warehouse, and the items that are demanded by the customers leaving the […]
