A key objective of this project is to develop an advanced routing strategy that can generate optimal routes for curbside waste collection, residential sweeping, and snowplowing services to improve operational efficiency and save overall costs. To achieve this goal, optimal routing models and algorithms will be developed by integrating graphic theory, vehicle routing problem, and […]

As the climate change problem has been a serious global issue, we have been making effort replace internal combustion engine to electric vehicles (EVs) to reduce carbon emission. As demand for EVs increases, it is necessary to research an infrastructure; such as an efficient and intelligent EV charging system, to support various charging services. Wireless […]

The reliance on raw materials from overseas to build lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is a major concern for automotive companies building battery electric vehicles in North America. Canada’s rich Ni deposits is a potential solution to this problem. However, Canadian Ni ore are sulfides, so battery manufacturers are reluctance to use it due to possible trace […]

The main objective of this project is to design, develop, and demonstrate Canada’s very first non-parasitic EV (NPEV) fast charging station for e-transportation based on hydrogen fuel cell as the main source of power. The TerraVis® Energy system will be a unique solution capable of providing true 100% green electricity without impinging on the energy […]

OVERVIEW MISSING The research goal of this internship is to develop various configurations of the CANDU 6™ reactor core fuelled with thorium to achieve a conversion ratio of at least one, (i.e. the reactor produces as much fissile material as it consumes). These cores should have equivalent power outputs as the baseline reactor, but achieve […]

Electronic or internet-based cognitive behavioural therapy (eCBT has been implemented widely in healthcare settings, but has become even more prevalent since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting decrease in availability of face-to-face treatment. The purpose of this study is to explore the personal experiences of patients and providers who have transitioned between […]

Customer Relationship Management (CRM) tools help protect and develop the relationships one builds with their clients, which typically uses data analysis to study large amounts of information. These tools compile data from a range of different communication channels which include company’s website, phone number, email, live chat, and social media. This allows learning more about […]

To prevent accidents and reduce risk checking the integrity of industrial tools is very vital in some industries such as oil and gas facilities, Nuclear powerplants, aerospace industries etc. These inspections are generally done manually by hand and visual inspection. Which is both time consuming and error prone. Inspection of some complex tools might require […]

This research is being conducted by a team of forensic psychologists working on a project to advance the way expert witnesses evaluate interrogations for coercion and risk factors for false confession. There is a solid base of research on coercive interrogation practices and on factors that may result in individuals being more vulnerable to coercion […]

Researchers are often tasked with finding related works in their respective field, including journal entries and images that represent the work contributed, which allows researchers to summarize and expand previous contributions. Biological researchers often convey their contributions through visual illustrations, also considered gene model maps. These gene model maps are used to represent how contributions […]

According to a recent report, when it comes to animal protection laws Canada has not been performing adequately, receiving a grade of “D” on the Animal Protection Index (API). The low marks received were for not having adequate legislation protecting wildlife in captivity, working animals, farm animals, animals used in research and companion animals. At […]

In recent years, significant attention has been paid to ending chronic homelessness in Canadian communities. As communities implement these initiatives, they confront many practical problems. Given the nuances of implementation and the many decisions and compromises that communities need to make, having a robust and thoughtful community engagement and co-design process that incorporates the relevant […]
