Water accumulation in road bases is a major cause for weakening roads in Canada and worldwide. This research project is to investigate the use of a novel geosynthetic material called WickGridTM to minimize water accumulation and strengthen the road bases. A fully instrumented road test section will be constructed, in which trafficking tests and the […]

Grey clays are widespread soft glaciomarine deposits in the Greater Victoria Region. Seismic ground motions can be significantly amplified in the site with the presence of these soils. However, the understanding of the seismic response of Victoria grey clays is limited. This research aims to fill the knowledge gap by carrying out a collaborative research […]

It has been noticed that by exposure to videos containing letters, numbers, and shapes, the autistic child of preschool age and most often non- or minimally verbal (henceforth AC) reached a self-taught knowledge of written code as well as a vocabulary that facilitates his schooling several years later. This project is part of a vast […]

Artificial turf has various components that can be altered to change its mechanical properties, such as stiffness and traction. Research has shown that optimal values of these properties exist for athletes to perform optimally and reduce the risk of injury. However, the majority of research on sport surfaces has been conducted on adult male athletes, […]

Prime candidates for cleaner propulsion are the non-reciprocating combustion engines that combine high efficiencies of volumetric engines while being well-known for their high power density. Unfortunately, these engines are also well-known for their oil consumption that needs to be reduced before they are used for aerospace applications in order to meet customer perceptions, weight and […]

This innovation project will design and incubate a provincial restorative approach to respond to complaints arising from maltreatment in sport and enhance provincial capacity to work in a human-centered way across sport to mitigate and prevent further maltreatment by building inclusive and healthy cultures. This shift in responding to harm in sport begins by acknowledging […]

There has been a surprising increase in the demand for aluminum sheet primarily driven by the increased sensitivity to the negative environmental impact of plastic beverage containers, as well as the ever increasing demand to achieve substantive lightweighting of automobiles. Traditionally, aluminum sheets are made by casting molten aluminum into ~500 mm thick ingots through […]

Our objective is to compare the effects of fluid milk (2% and lactose-free) and a simulated milk beverage, with plant alternatives to dairy on management of insulin resistance in older adults 60-75 years. Dairy foods have a unique matrix and are a rich source of high-quality protein, healthy fats, and essential nutrients. Despite this, consumption […]

As a leader in the production and use of renewable energy, Canada is committed to reducing its carbon emissions by 2030 and achieving net zero by 2050. In addition, Canada will ban the sale of fuel-burning new cars and light-duty trucks from 2035. To reach this goal, it is very urgent to develop new energy […]

In this project we will develop an intelligent advertisement system for Bell. First, we try to better understand each customer’s preferences through the content they watch. In order to achieve this, we extract context attributes from the media content that a customer watches. The context attribute can be extracted by analyzing the video, audio, and […]

The proposed NBIF RIF project will establish a UNB Marine Additive Manufacturing Centre of Excellence (MAMCE) in Atlantic Canada. The focus of the centre is the marine and defence sectors with vision for global marine technology trend for 2030, which includes additive manufacturing, and advanced materials. MAMCE’s mission is to accelerate the adoption of metal […]

The Structural Genomics Consortium (SGC) is a not-for-profit public-private partnership research organization that aims to accelerate the discovery of new medicines through open science. This Mitacs cluster will bring together SGC’s industry and academic collaborators to work together towards new and affordable medicines for challenging diseases. Sixty-three post-doctoral fellows will spend 2-3 years developing open […]
