Echinacea is widely used as a medicinal herb with a global market of ~$1 billion. Hundreds of Echinacea products are available but, with each made from different plant materials using different processes, chemistry- and therefore quality -varies between products. Working with Amway Corporation, a global leader in the Echinacea market, researchers at the University of […]

Deep neural networks (DNNs) are increasingly employed in vision-based systems, extending well beyond self-driving vehicles. With the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) and distributed vision sensing, vision-based systems have found diverse applications across various domains. These include detecting hazards on work sites and anomalies in critical infrastructure, utilizing, for example, video and image […]

Depuis la découverte théorique puis expérimentale de l’intrication au milieu du 20e siècle, la Théorique de l’Information Quantique connait un essor fulgurant. En effet, l’intrication est une relation puissante liant certaines paires de particules dans la Nature, et elle est à la base d’algorithmes quantiques puissants, innovants et prometteurs, lesquels mènent à ce que Google […]

Proposed research project consists of finding a suitable solution to the problem of tracking assets in environments with different constraints. The solution is expected to include the development of geolocation algorithm and then based on the algorithm creating schematics of several modules with transceivers, embedding of required low level software to the selected microcontroller controlling […]

In Canada, First Nation, Métis and Inuit (FNMI) students experience higher rates of absenteeism and lower rates of school success compared to non-FNMI students. However, little research has explored this issue from the perspective of FNMI communities. This study aims to conceptualize attendance and absenteeism among a group of urban Inuit students in Ottawa who […]

Le projet consiste en une étude de marché visant à développer la commercialisation de meubles produits sur mesure au canada ainsi que des meubles importés. Bien que l’industrie de la fabrication de meubles ait connu une transformation importante ces dernières années, elle demeure l’un des plus grands secteurs d’emploi dans le domaine des produits de […]

Lors de la COP27 sur les changements climatiques, la directrice générale de l’Organisation mondiale du commerce (OMC), Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, déclarait que « si le commerce en soi génère des émissions liées à la production et au transport, le commerce et les politiques commerciales peuvent accélérer la diffusion des technologies de pointe et des meilleures pratiques […]

Boron nitride nanotube (BNNT), a structural analog of carbon nanotube, has emerged as a key-enabling material in various fields of extreme/major science thanks to its transformative properties such as high oxidation resistance, high specific mechanical strength, piezoelectricity, and high neutron shielding capability. To harness its unique properties, it is essential to fabricate macroscopic BNNT articles […]

The electrochemical decarbonation (ED) of limestone is a novel disruptive technology with the potential to promote deep decarbonization of the cement industry, which emits about 8% of carbon dioxide global emissions. ED uses water electrolysis cells to precipitate Ca(OH)2, which has been used as an alternative raw material for Alite synthesis, the main clinker compound. […]

Women’s Shelters Canada (WSC; https://endvaw.ca/) is a network of 14 provincial and territorial shelter associations representing over 450 shelters across Canada. A new service offered by WSC is the Second Stage Transitional Housing (SSTH) New Build Project (https://endvaw.ca/second-stage-project-2-2/). SSTH offers technical assistance, resources and support in three areas for member organizations looking to develop second […]

Ottawa Salus is a non-profit corporation who have served the Ottawa community for over 40 years. They have over 100 staff members delivering supportive housing and mental health services to the community. The organization creates opportunities for adults living in the community with mental health and substance use issues to live independently. To achieve this, […]

Some people living in social housing are at risk of losing their housing. This is due to serious mental illness, substance use, neurocognitive decline, physical frailty, disabilities, or other issues, along with an absence of adequate support. Ottawa Community Housing has approached researchers at the University of Ottawa to conduct a study to learn more […]
