Canada has committed to combatting climate change. To do this, Canada must find ways to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the country’s most polluting sectors. Transportation accounts for roughly a quarter of the country’s total GHG emissions, and though electric vehicles have been identified as a promising strategy for passenger vehicles, a viable alternative […]

With the increase in polyurethane foams in manufacturing applications such as car seats, shoe soles etc., there has also been a rise in demand for higher quality and more sustainable products. This project involves the collaboration of Evoco Ltd with Dr. Hani Naguib’s research team at the University of Toronto to work on the fabrication […]

To compare existing press council models In Canadian provinces and similar democracies abroad, analyze the effectiveness of and difficulties faced by councils with these varying models, and explore the prospects for and stakeholder views on alternative models. Including that of a national Canadian council.

Le transport routier est un vieux domaine industriel, qui fait face à une augmentation de production. En effet, les besoins de livraison sont grandissants et la flexibilité qu’offre le transport routier participent au choix de l’utilisation de celui-ci. Or ce secteur ne parvient pas à augmenter considérablement sa productivité et reste le type de transport […]

The objective of this project is to reduce the run time of computationally demanding simulation and modeling tasks at the partner organization. The project involves porting several computer algorithms to massively parallel hardware graphics devices that can be programmed using a widely available development platform. Improvements in performance on these computing tasks have direct implications […]

The specific aim of this project is to design and manufacture affordable, high fidelity, and high quality synthetic surgical training models of diseased valves and arteries to simulate the possible surgical options such as prolapse mitral valve reconstruction surgeries, aortic valve repair for aortic insufficiencies (novel idea) and coronary and radial arteries [side to side […]

The sport of short track speed skating is an extremely fast paced sport, in which multiple skaters, reaching speeds upwards of 50 km/h, jockey for position on a narrow track. Although skaters wear protective equipment and helmets, concussions continue to plague the health of athletes. Currently, there are no statistics on the ratesand prevalence of […]

Le crabe des neiges est la deuxième pêche plus importante en terme de valeur, après celle au homard, dans les provinces maritimes. Ce projet de recherche consiste à la caractérisation de molécules capables de nous indiquer de manière fiable, qu’un crabe des neiges est en situation de stress. Ces molécules ou marqueurs seront utiles dans […]

National Legalization of Cannabis has occurred in Canada. Very little is known about the different compounds in the Cannabis Plant. The two main compounds are THC and CBD. Both of them have shown some benefits for different conditions. We would like to determine the best dose and ratio of compounds within the Cannabis plant for […]

Computational thinking, i.e., the ability to formalize and solve problems with the assistance of computers, has become crucial in a growing range of jobs. Recent research in education has provided encouraging evidence that the development of computational thinking is the most effective when it is taught in the early childhood, and that game-based learning (GBL) […]

Benefit payments totaled 2.5 billion dollars for Ontario workplaces in 2015. The most common injury resulting in a lost time claim was a strain or sprain – indicating despite massive efforts to reduce musculoskeletal injuries by ergonomists, these issues still have a significant financial burden on the economy. An easy-to-use, readily available, and automated physical […]

The Societe Generale Bank possesses a network of trading applications which generate the hardware consumption data (CPU, memory and network communication). The main usage of this trading system is to receive/ send orders from the market and/ or the clients or vice versa, and based on these order information, business decisions are made accordingly. The […]
