There is a growing body of international research demonstrating that the economic contribution copyright based industries is becoming increasingly important. Specifically, there is a growing need in the Canadian music and music-use related industry to analyze the copyright process applied towards different uses of music in Canada. The objective of the proposed “Reference Guide” is […]

Digital signatures are used as electronic alternatives to handwritten signatures, and are built upon mathematical problems. Such problems are computationally unfeasible to solve with classical computers, and give the security basis for signature schemes. With the possible advent of quantum computers, conventional signatures created by currently used schemes cannot be considered secure. Thus, the need […]

The project consists on the construction of a system of innovation management indicators (framework) for managing innovation in technology-based companies. For this, studies will be carried out together with companies, since the lack of harmony between the theoretical frameworks and companies’ needs is a highlighted problem. There will be three main activities in the research […]

In Canada there are just over 17,000 public rail crossings—17% have gates, 22% just have bells and lights, and the remaining 61% have a white, reflective X crossing sign which at times is accompanied by a stop sign. In the U.S., the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) latest figures (2009) indicate there are 136,041 public rail […]

The intent of this research is to study fire dynamics and the threats it imposes on people, property, business continuity and environments, namely at wildfire-urban interfaces (WUI). Worcester Polytechnic Institute of Boston, MA, is equipped with modern technologies, not yet available at my home institution, that can be used to build a comprehensive analysis of […]

The main concern for helmet performance is the reduction of skull and brain injury risk during impact events. Combinations of shell materials, foams, and three-dimensional engineered structures are used to design hockey helmets. Using current helmet evaluation techniques, the contributions of each of these components cannot be directly assessed. In the proposed work, high-speed X-ray […]

Cultural Heritage is the legacy of the past that needs to be protected and tarnsmitetd to future generation, its conservation makes part of the sustainable development goals of the United Nations Conservation. This proposal is focused on the development of a digital information platform for conveying the importance of conservation and protection of cultural heritage […]

Working in partnership, Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg (KZA) and the Carleton Immersive Media Studio (CIMS) propose the development of a novel, hybrid digital platform that brings together the progressive community development initiatives of KZA with CIMS’ established research record in the field of building information modelling (BIM). The research challenges involved in the development of a […]

In the development of power electronic devices, more and more switch mode power supplies (SMPS) are used in various fields. SMPS transfer power from a DC or AC source to DC loads. And they have many advantages, such as high conversion efficiency, low energy loss, and lighter weight than linear power supplies. However, switching current […]

Conduct risk management is a topic of great importance to financial service firms. Misconduct from staff members in financial institutions can result in substantial costs. However, compared to other types of risk faced by financial institutions (e.g. credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk), conduct risk and the related reputational risk have been understudied. One of […]

The web browser is arguably the most security-critical component in our information infrastructure. Banking, social networking, shopping, navigation, and card payments – almost any activity you can imagine now takes place within a browser window. HTML5 is a potential candidate for changing our experience on the web and its sale on devices is forecasted to […]

A survey, comprised of 20 questions, and organized according to the following four categories/themes: 1) Patterns of use; 2) Perceived health risks; 3) Access to e-cigarettes; and 4) Exposure to cultural content (i.e. marketing and advertisements) will be distributed to a minimum of 100 students from grades 7-12 in the Ottawa private school system. The […]
