Indoor environmental quality in schools is one of the major issues that should be considered. Indoor air quality (freshness and cleanness of air inside the building) and thermal comfort (the comfortable condition when no one is feeling either too hot or too cold) in schools can have significant impact on children’s health, learning and productivity. […]

Very few guidelines (such as the isotherm equations – the moisture content of hemp seeds at a given temperature, and relative humidify) exist on aeration, natural air drying, and storage of hemp seeds. If producers and managers used wrong isotherms, spoilage or over drying of the binned hemp seeds might occur during storage. The objectives […]

Currently, the staff of the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) is uncertain of how Canadian athletes, coaches, and members the Canadian sport community perceives their efforts and programs. This research will identifY if the current policies and procedures for anti-

A virtual-reality-based yoga training and assessment platform will be developed as a comprehensive approach for training/improving balance, frailty, and cognitive performance and prevent falls in stroke survivors. The project would have 1) a great therapeutic benefit in terms of increasing rehabilitation outcomes post-discharge and 2) would increase the prevention of further disability. The platform can […]

Biking is a common physical activity enjoyed by children and adults around the world. Children with disabilities may not be able to use a standard bike but can participate using bikes that are customized based on their individual needs. There is some indication that adaptive biking has physical and psychosocial benefits. However, there is a […]

This project aims two answer two research questions. First, we respond to nearly 15 years of call for research to understand how word of mouth communication is used in B2B settings. Specifically, we conduct a qualitative research to identify what drives B2B customers to get engaged in online word of mouth communication. Second, we examine […]

The electric power industry is undergoing considerable changes with respect to structure, operation, regulation and modernization. One of the significant changes is the increased utilization of distribured energy sources (DES) such as wind and solar and other immerging technologies particularly in electric distribution systems. It is envisioned that DES will bcome the main source of […]

This research project will develop dc electric field sensors for the monitoring of electric power utility infrastructure and for non-contact voltage probing and monitoring. MEMS sensors are the focus, as they offer small size, low cost, and low power operation. These properties make them ideal for hand held operation, and for deployment in remote locations […]

L’importance de la foresterie dans l’économie nécessite de réaliser des études permettant de comprendre et résoudre les impacts que cela produit, pouvant affecter la durabilité des zones productrices. L’orniérage est l’un de ces impacts qui sont connus mais pas toujours contrôlés. Certaines zones connaissent des disparités importantes pouvant conduire à une modification du milieu à […]

Proteomics have revolutionized bioanalytical chemistry in the past two decades. However, to achieve deep qualitative and quantitative analysis of complex protein samples a significant amount of instrument time (liquid chromatography – mass spectrometry) is required. The major problem stems from the fact that single protein generates many peptides during typical proteomic sample preparation. Limiting this […]

Most Canadians prefer to remain in their own homes for as long as possible, or “age in place”. One important area of daily living is meal preparation. The opportunity to age in place is likely to be higher where kitchens allow for the changing functional ability of people as they age. Décor is a Canadian […]
