Canadian cultural institutions have long considered themselves above the political. However, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s (TRC) Calls to Action have posed challenges to art institutions and their leaders are now […]

Wireless sensors have attributes such as distributed sensing and wireless connections that make them attractive for civil infrastructure monitoring. A wired physical connection dramatically increases the cost of monitoring systems. For example, the St. Anthony Falls bridge in Minneapolis was reported to cost $3000 per sensor. Wireless sensors are an attractive solution to this problem. […]

Striped bass invaded Labrador, Newfoundland and Labrador in August 2017 and were identified to feed on Atlantic salmon and capelin; two important fishes to NunatuKavut Community Council (NCC).

Cryptosporidiosis is the infection by the parasite Cryptosporidium that can cause life-threatening diarrhea in children

Computer-based simulation software, called hygrothermal modeling has become increasingly popular and useful to predict and evaluate heat, air, vapour, and water-related performance of buildings. This research project aims to improve such modelling for wood construction through validation using specifically measured property data and field/lab performance data. The goal is to make modelling a more reliable […]

Même si les compagnies d’assurances investissent des sommes considérables en publicité, il leur est souvent difficile, voire impossible, de répondre précisément et avec confiance à la question « Combien de nouvelles soumissions d’assurances par des clients potentiels sont générées grâce à ces investissements publicitaires ? » Pourtant, des données sur les efforts publicitaires et les […]

Development of energy storage has been identified as one of the most important features of our rapidly evolving energy grids. While the significance of flexibility it provides is well understood, commercialization remains non-trivial. Advanced Compressed Air Energy Storage (A-CAES) is founded on well-known scientific principles that have been combined and applied in a novel way. […]

Widespread decline in social capital is well-documented and has been attributed to a range of underlying root causes, from policies regarding the physical design of our neighbourhoods, increasing geographic mobility, shifting away from more localized economies, the complexity of increasing cultural diversity in many areas, to societal beliefs and norms related to individualism. We know […]

Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) are validated questionnaires with which respondents self-report their health status. This may include symptom severity, functional status, and quality-of-life data. PROMS are an increasingly important part of the communication between a patient and their healthcare team. Beyond the individual encounter, PROMs data is also critical to healthcare systems providing more personalized […]

In 2013, North America’s 1st ‘sustainable’ landscaping rating system will be launched: the Sustainable Sites Initiative (SITES: www.sustainablesites.org). A major component of this guideline is the preference for native plants because they are assumed to provide greater ‘ecosystem services’ than non-natives. However, to date no research has been conducted in North America that compares the […]
