Our project will investigate reasons for and against posthumous organ donation, and aims to better understand the motives and deterrents for becoming, or not becoming, a registered organ donor. The results of this study will inform the development of public awareness campaigns designed to address the concerns and viewpoints of the Canadian public and have […]

In 2009 the Government of Ontario enacted the Green Energy Act (GEA) to promote the development of renewable energy projects. Subsequently, the importance of wind generation both for electricity generation and in public debate has grown dramatically in Ontario. While the GEA simplified the regulatory process for developing renewable energy projects, wing turbine siting has […]

Many parents of children affected by neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) such as autism, rely on information found on well-known advocacy websites to make decisions regarding their child’s treatment. However, previous work has shown that advocacy websites tend to encourage a variety of treatments rather than objectively evaluate the plethora of available options. Using journalistic methods, this […]

Les circonstances qui accompagnent les événements extrêmes forcent les équipes de secours à travailler de près afin de limiter les dommages potentiels. La collaboration en contexte d’intervention d’urgence est particulièrement complexe à établir, mais tout autant essentielle. Les technologies qui supportent ces processus de coopération se trouvent au coeur de l’action et leur bon fonctionnement […]

In a cloud context, it is important to synchronize the information between nodes of the system. This research looks as existing problems and provides improvements in terms of performance and availability. For that reason, cloud management solutions are needed which will benefit Ericsson with new mechanisms for uniformity of information between nodes. And, the same […]

Tides Canada strives to connect researchers and initiatives across the Canada to take on tough social and environmental challenges. The program support of Tides Canada will bring high-level research from the three interns under the guidance of Mark Roseland, an expert in sustainable community development. Our collaboration will unveil new resources for Tides Canada’s community […]

The research project will involve the development of features and techniques to aid people with communication disabilities through the use of consumer mobile devices (ex. smartphones) and tablet computers. Some of the major areas of interest include: location aware vocabularies, predictive sentence construction, and support for alternative input for people that also suffer from motor […]

Teams of specialized workers develop most software. For example, one team may specialize in the requirements that describe what the software is to do. Another team may specialize in producing the software itself. Yet another team may specialize in determining whether the software meets the desired requirements. Supporting communication between all these teams is challenging: […]

In a multi-tenant cloud environment, several tenants share the same physical resources. To ensure security of tenants’ data and process, appropriate security measures should be implemented by the cloud provider at multiple layers. Particularly, appropriate controls for end-to-end network isolation must be put in place. The proposed research project aims at elaborating innovative and efficient […]

Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology demonstrates great ability of fabricating complex geometry and reducing buy-to-fly (BTF) ratio. The objective of the Héroux-Devtek R&D project is to build a relationship between post-fusion processes and material properties for additively manufactured Ti64 landing gear components. From the previous studies, promising heat-treatments were identified. In this project, studies will only […]

CAE is the world-leading supplier of flight simulators and training services. Intensive competition for scarce resource exists in the multi-project environment at CAE. Without standard evaluation and objective prioritization of projects, it is difficult to allocate resources in an efficient and optimal way. From the proposed research project, CAE can expect to receive a method […]

Properties of metallurgical coke are very important in production of iron using blast furnace. About 90% of the coking coals produced are used for this purpose. Coal rank was historically used to evaluate coal for production of metallurgical coke. Coke reactivity index (CRI) and coke strength after reaction (CSR) with carbon dioxide are now routinely […]
