Given that plastic pollution in the marine environment has been a critical issue in Canada and in the rest of the world in recent decades, our project aims to provide a possible solution to mitigate plastic waste in the ocean. Previous findings have shown that asking people to make a commitment can effectively change their […]

En s’attribuant la mission de faire la jonction entre une idée à impact social et sa mise en oeuvre, la maison de l’innovation sociale (MIS) va se positionner au coeur de l’écosystème d’innovation sociale à Montréal. C’est dans cette optique que s’inscrit notre projet de recherche. Il veut explorer le processus par lequel les différents […]

In today’s fast-paced, technologically-driven world, it is of paramount importance that we take advantage of different ways to solve problems, to generate the most efficient solutions. One way to accomplish this goal is to adopt different ways of thinking about how we solve problems. It may be of great value to base problem-solving that we […]

Using oral history interviews, this collaborative project will document and explore the social history of the efforts made by the Kingston arts community to preserve the historic Morton Brewery and Distillery and to create the Tett Centre for Creativity and Learning, a vibrant community arts hub. Supplemented by archival research, I will interview the artists, […]

The aim of this grant proposal is to address the challenges with current CT Coronary Angiography (CTCA) utilizat ion with a comprehensive series of interrelated but well-defined research themes. This non-invasive technique has facilitated in the detection of significant coronary artery disease and vulnerable plaque. However, the quality is limited to the physicality of the […]

Personalized health is increasingly gaining public attention in the media as the future of healthcare. Personalized health is the idea that medical treatment will be tailored to the individual based on their predicted response or risks of disease. Omics analysis, defined as the universal detection of different classes of biological molecules, has the potential to […]

This project aims to develop a numerical tool for predicting accurately resonance frequencies of high-heads hydraulic turbines. Both the presence of water and the rotation of the disk-like structure induce shifts in these frequencies compared to a standing disk in air, respectively added mass and mode split. The project is articulated around the following steps: […]

Predation on smolts as they out-migrate down natal rivers may significantly contribute to the decline and lack of recovery of Chinook salmon in British Columbia. A prior study of mortality of Chinook smolts released by the Cowichan Hatchery suggests only a small portion of the fish reached the ocean due to predation by raccoons, river […]

The partner is creating artificial intelligence which can help diagnose over 1,300 skin conditions with dermatologist-level accuracy. They are focused on building the functionality that is to be deployed through their app and web-interface that makes it possible to snap a photo, ask questions, and get an instant diagnosis. The partner is very focused on […]

The goal of this project is to design and implement a mobile “dashboard” interface for an ocean vessel profiling device that captures speed, location, torque, and other data relevant to ship powering measurement and prediction. The interface will provide real-time visualizations that a pilot, engineer, or scientist can use to monitor the impact of ship […]

Mannarino Systems & Software Inc. is currently developing M-RTOS, which is a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS), designed specifically to meet the requirements of the aeronautical industry’s ARINC 653 Avionics Application Software Standard Interface specification, and supporting a wide range of avionic systems. Throughout this phase of the project, the Concordia partner will provide a synthesis […]
