Léger-Marie Deschamps est un philosophe français du XVIIIe siècle ayant correspondu avec les plus grands philosophes de son temps : Voltaire, Rousseau, Diderot, etc. Dans l’histoire des études menées sur cet homme, la majorité des commentateurs y ont vu un philosophe extrêmement rationaliste et intellectualiste, un philosophe affirmant que seule la vérité peut mener au […]

CHLNet identified the need for valid, reliable tools to determine the impact of these health leadership development programs. This project will develop a practical, easy to use toolkit to facilitate the measurement of program outcomes and impacts. The toolkit will be pilot tested and evaluated across the country according to defined selection criteria. The finalized […]

Bell’s Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) team is collaborating with academic institutions in order to further research and develop cyber security analytics for the protection of critical infrastructure and data. The focus of this research is to create and leverage a traffic classification project specifically for network security purposes. This research to design distributed algorithms fast […]

Northern Canada presents favorable conditions for bifacial solar installations due to typically higher albedo, caused by a high degree of snow cover, and low temperature, which is ideal for PV module efficiency. In addition, many northern and remote Canadian communities, including Iqaluit and Cambridge Bay, rely on diesel power. Bifacial solar presents a clean and […]

Structuré par un partenariat étroit entre des chercheurs de l’Université d’Ottawa et de Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, ce projet a pour objectif de comprendre la pratique de l’adoubement, le rituel par lequel un individu était fait chevalier, dans les sociétés médiévales de l’Europe Occidentale du XIIIe siècle. Il s’agit d’un défi de taille, puisque les textes […]

The phenomenon of near-limit detonation propagation, where detonations have been experimentally observed to propagate at average speeds smaller than the ideal Chapman-Jouguet (CJ) detonation speeds, has attracted extensive efforts on determining the influencing mechanisms through application of simple models for predicting such velocity deficits. Despite the large number of attempts to experimentally investigate the dynamics […]

The proposed research aims to develop methods for efficiently computing visually realistic turbulent flows around solid objects for graphical applications in the film and video game industries. These methods would extend traditional techniques employed in aerodynamics to compute flows around airfoils. The extended method would address general solid objects in cases where the traditional techniques […]

The measurement of concrete electrical resistivity is a very fast method providing reliable information about the pore structure and durability parameters in concrete. This measurement can be related to the setting of concrete. Time of setting when concrete’s workability decreases significantly is an important parameter for concrete production in different climates and construction conditions. This […]

On average, individuals from more disadvantaged social backgrounds will develop diseases earlier and die earlier compared with their more advantaged peers. Indeed, so ubiquitous is the association between health and wealth that it has been referred to as a ‘fundamental’ cause of disease. Understanding how social group based differences in socio-economic position (SEP) get biologically […]

Advances in quantum computing have Entrust Datacard and their customers concerned about whether the industry is ready to move to post quantum cryptographic algorithms, particularly for PKI use cases. Entrust Datacard and University of Ottawa will test the quantum-readiness of commercially-available PKI. The end goal is to provide guidance to the community about the impact […]

The intern will be assisting in the implementation of a research project that is intended to assess the effectiveness of two different smoking reduction/cessation interventions within a population of people with serious mental illness who are vulnerably housed or homeless. The partner agency, the Canadian Mental Health Association Ottawa Branch, is interested in the study, […]

Pyrite is an important mineral known to incorporate significant amounts of precious-metals (i.e. gold) within its crystal structure. Previous studies have suggested that when pyrite is subjected to high temperature conditions and plastically deforms, it releases such metals that are remobilized and concentrated into important economic ore deposits. However, the plastic behavior of pyrite and […]
