Le projet de détection et de reconnaissance de personnes sur une étendue d’eau permettra de minimiser les pertes humaines en intervenant le plus rapidement possible lors d’une situation d’urgence. Le temps de survie d’une personne à l’eau est très limité, sous certaines conditions quelques minutes et il varie en fonction du port de ceinture ou […]

Les interventions des plongeurs-scaphandriers aux abords des barrages hydro-électriques nécessitent la plus grande vigilance afin d’assurer leur sécurité. Au-delà des difficultés ordinaires rencontrées en plongée, les interventions aux abords de ces structures présentent de réels risques de courants puissants et très localisés dus au phénomène de Delta P (différence de pression). Celui-ci est capable d’emporter […]

Due to COVID-19, adoption of and investment in technological solutions for remote mental health services (teletherapy) is rapidly increasing. While the evidence-base for teletherapy for individuals is robust, teletherapy research with families has been limited. Further, uptake of teletherapy by clinical training programs has been slow and knowledge about the feasibility of using these interfaces […]

Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) is a condition 1 in every 10 women is diagnosed with. The current non-surgical treatment for POP is an intravaginal device called pessary which has a 40% failure rate as its shape is not fitted to the female anatomy. Poor pessary design and performance arises from the limited data that is […]

There is a perceived talent supply and demand gap in Nova Scotia’s ICT and digital tech sector and recruitment is at top of mind for employers. Hiring new employees can be time consuming and costly, however a well-planned onboarding program can increase the proficiency of a new hire and increase retention rates. The objective of […]

The growing amounts of metal waste being transported and recycled is a challenging problem. This research project aims to build efficient daily vehicle routes of the reverse logistics problem and collecting metal waste form different points in order to minimize total costs under multiple operational constraints. The reverse logistics vehicle routing problem which combines a […]

The project is designed to verify the performance of Giatec iCORTM hand-held device for non-destructive assessment of deteriorations in concrete structures caused by corrosion. Various laboratory experiments will be conducted using iCORTM at the University of Ottawa on a corroded concrete testing slab. The results will be validates against those obtained by accurate corrosion assessment […]

The increasing complexity of large power distribution networks (PDN) has suggested that real-time monitoring systems (CMS) become crucial for both daily operation and emerging research. Future smart grids are expected to be assisted by but also operate for a vast number of sensor and actuator nodes. Such sensor/actuator nodes will demand a more consistent and […]

Shortages of skilled healthcare professionals and unequal distribution of healthcare professionals throughout the country are two key challenges causing unexpectedly high number of preventable maternal deaths in Tanzania. Hence, developing innovative solutions that take fewer resources but have a wider impact on Tanzanian midwifery education system is crucial to avert these deaths. Canadian Network for […]

Notre intention est de réaliser les travaux préalables à l’élaboration d’une plateforme collaborative de création de partage et la mise en application des nouvelles connaissances générées dans un contexte de crise sanitaire et/ou environnementale mettant l’accent sur les services préhospitaliers. Ces travaux sont à la fois théoriques en répertoriant les connaissances actuelles sur l’utilisation des […]

The proposed research is a collaboration between Virtro and SFU’s iVizLab to collaboratively work on ways to understand the processes involved in analyzing and visualizing 3D spatial data. iVizLab’s research focuses on AI based computational models, in this case a data visualization tool that help users analyze 3D spatial data. In creating this user interface, […]

This MITACS Accelerate program will support a internships for graduate students in the areas of services and applications using next generation communications, Internet, and cloud computing. The interns will be placed in Canadian telecom and networking providers and vendors and will undertake research projects defined jointly with these partners. The program will prepare graduates to […]
