Universities transnationally have tried to minimize reports by female students of sexual abuse on campus. In 2014, the Canadian media uncovered a Facebook group formed by students of the Dalhousie University where sexist content was regularly posted. A report on the case argued that: the situation was not unique to the university, the faculty’s culture […]

Mentorina is launching an intelligent learning system that helps teachers observe, measure, and improve each student’s individual performance in the classroom. Teachers can design individualized assignments or exams and through cognitive and metacognitive assessments, they can accurately measure how quickly students are learning the material and can determine each student’s level of comprehension. Through an […]

The NSERC Strategic Network for Smart Applications on Virtual Infrastructures is a five-year partnership between Canadian industry, universities, researchers, research and education (R&E) networks, and high performance computing centres to investigate the design of future application platforms that will deliver software applications of greater capability and intelligence. These application platforms will be supported by an […]

La rémunération des dirigeants d’entreprise constitue un enjeu de gouvernance de premier plan. Ainsi, la plupart des conseils d’administration nord-américains sont dotés d’un comité de rémunération. L’ampleur des sommes en jeu ainsi que l’influence potentielle des incitatifs mis en place sur les décisions des dirigeants sous-tendent ces préoccupations. Toutefois, la rémunération des dirigeants est également […]

S2E Technologies is a consulting company leading the design and implementation of two Smart communities, to be located in London and Guelph, Ontario. The aim of this research collaboration is to assist S2E with the modeling, design, and analysis of rooftop solar greenhouses integrated with grocery stores, anaerobic digesters and livestock barns. The analysis will […]

Insect pollinator health is a crucial component of managed and natural landscapes due to their important impact on crop pollination and ecosystem equilibrium. Some pollinator populations have experience notable declines, due to changes in habitat, presence of pests and pathogens, pesticides and toxins present in the environment as well as nutritional requirements. A proper identification […]

In this project, the intern will develop an integrated patients and care givers scheduling system for the allocation of health care resources in community health care. This system provides patients with an online preference collecting interface for them to express their preferences on time, location, and care givers when estimating their service costs and booking […]

Composite materials have been increasingly used in today’s aerospace products such as Bombardier CSeries and Boeing787 airplanes. A widely used composite manufacturing process is Automated Fiber Placement (AFP) utilizing robotics, precision control, and other high tech tools. Quality requirements for aerospace products are at very high level for product safety and performance. Statistical quality control […]

Thorough decision-making requires extensive analysis of current and historical experience. This is done through accurate modeling techniques. In actuarial science and insurance, models are used to evaluate risk and make predictions about future claims using a set of variables also known as predictors. However traditional modeling techniques have shortcomings that can be evaded if we […]

The proposed project is to develop a design tool box with the cooperation R&D team in Transtex Composite, research fellow and academic supervisor. The design toolbox help the engineers in design department of Transtex Composite to design the trailer tail structure based on finite element analysis to be developed by research fellow. Therefore, this package […]

ZnO is an important large bandgap semiconductor with good chemical, mechanical, and particularly, optoelectronic properties. Due to its unique properties, ZnO is one of the most promising materials as a novel type of emitting device, e.g. polariton lasers. ZnO nanostructure fabrication processes range from expensive, time consuming methods such as Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) to […]

In this project we aim to study means of development of a new concept of the thermal energy storage (TES) technology which allows for the collection of thermal energy for later use. With the Solar Power System it is necessary to balance energy demand between day and night time. On the one hand, TES can […]
