Next generation preclinical development (caspase inhibitors, stem cell evaluation) and islet metabolic engraftment efficiency in a Phase I/II clinical study of the Cell Pouch™ for islet transplantation in Type 1 diabetes. (The Cell Pouch System™ is a proprietary non-biodegradable polymer device designed by biologists, scientists and engineers which unobtrusively fits under the skin, rapidly incorporating […]

RealTerm Energy is developing an AI-based solution for predictively optimizing HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems in smart buildings. A substantial component of this solution is a data analyzer which will mine an enormous dataset to model the operational behaviours of the buildings in different locations around the world. Based on enormous datasets collected […]

Net zero energy building produces as much energy as it consumes, and it has a great potential for energy and carbon reductions. This research will study the design of net zero energy multiunit residential buildings (MURBs), as well as to create a simple Excel tool as an alternative to EnergyPlus for quick assessment. In the […]

This research aims at improving theoretical financial markets models in order to account for the presence of informed traders in a contemporary setting. Despite the fact that privileged information has always been present in various shape or form, theoretical models seemed to be able to account for such informational asymmetry and provide ways to measure […]

Fisheries are an important industry in Canada, particularly in rural communities that depend on marine resources for sustainable economic opportunities. But all fishing imposes environmental costs. In the case of northern fisheries, one cost of concern is the incidental bycatch of seabirds by fisheries. Birds, attracted to bait and discards from vessels, can get ensnared […]

Classification of mineral resources based on geological confidence level is mandated for disclosure by all of the international codes and standards. However, the definition of the “confidence level” is vague in all of these codes mostly because of the fact that every deposit has its own characteristics. This research attempts to establish a method that […]

This project involves the characterization and assessment of a settling and evaporative pond system used to treat wastewater generated by the Melville Potable Water Supply System (MEPOWSS). The plant is currently being upgraded with a change in treatment processes and increased capacity that will impact the ability of the pond system to treat the new […]

Shopify has a well-developed partnership with universities for a work-integrated Bachelor of Computer Science degree. It is in their best interest to see their student interns successfully transition to the work place. In the application part of this study, we will use a fuzzy cognitive map (that is, a special type of a graph) to […]

Agricultural production of crops requires an intensive amount of inputs that go beyond just planting the seed, such as fertilizers, pesticides and biological inoculants. As the need to produce a greater quantity of crops increases with the population, it is our duty to ensure we are using these inputs efficiently. Our research will examine how […]

Le travail de recherche de Jean-Michel Laliberté s’insère dans le projet de renouvellement de l’exposition permanente de la Maison du Frère-Moffet. Cette exposition prend la forme d’un jeu où le visiteur est accompagné par un guide virtuel qui représente un personnage. Le récit du guide se construit à travers un parcours de réalité mixte où […]

Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) augmentation techniques such as differential GNSS and real-time kinetic (RTK) positioning have been critical for GNSS accuracy and usability. In a typical scenario, the correction data is streamed to a device in the field (rover station) from a reference (base) station. However, as the number of devices that rely on […]

In this project, we will devleop various demodulation and encoding techniques to enhance the performance of receiving data in the EM telemetry process. In EM Telemetry process, a ‘measuring information and data while drilling’ application, transmit and communicate wirelessly from downhole to the surface. Due to the challenge of the earth behavior, low frequency communication […]
