Private car dependence represents a significant problem and a major obstacle towards a more sustainable future. A good combination of different modes of transportation can create an opportunity to overcome this issue. In this sense, integrating car sharing into Transit Oriented Development can be an ideal combination to promote a smart and sustainable development. This […]

The proposed Mitacs program will provide internships for six graduate (thesis-based MSc and PhD) students, and two Post-Doctoral Fellows (PDFs) in a competitive R&D environment at the Thunder Bay Regional Health Research Institute (TBRHRI) – Canada’s newest health research institute. Interns will be involved in research projects which aim to develop and commercialize the next […]

Genacol Canada Corporation Inc. manufactures a bovine-sourced hydrolyzed collagen supplement (Genacol® Original Formula), which has shown efficacy in two separate clinical trials for reducing joint pain. Following digestion, hydrolyzed collagen yields amino acids and peptides that can lead to the health promoting properties of the supplement. However, the specific identity and mechanisms of action of […]

There exist hundreds of thousands of high voltage outdoor insulators in North America whose monitoring, inspection, maintenance, and replacement cost thousands of dollars for the utility companies. Further, inspection of insulators on live lines has resulted in accidents to the live line personnel. The main objective of this research is to develop remote condition assessment […]

Ce projet porte sur le développement d’un instrument à savoir MISSION CORIOSITY de la compagnie canadienne ELEMISSION basé sur la spectroscopie optique LIBS et qui aura pour but de fournir une imagerie élémentaire de la surface des échantillons rocheux sur place et en temps réel. Donc la compagnie espère mettre au point leur système afin […]

Studies of concussive events have shown that the response of the brain during an impact may not be the most reliable predictor of concussion, since the injury may be more closely related to the forces affecting the brainstem. A laboratory crash test protocol was developed to simulate player-to-player collisions in contact sports using crash test […]

The joint objective of the consortium is to undertake R&D necessary to produce a scalable, cost-effective combined hydrogen storage and fuel cell solution for UAV’s that addresses weight and volume and improves refueling logistics. The novel hydrogen storage system will be combined with a high-power density optimized fuel cell stack for UAV’s that integrates with […]

L’objectif général du projet est d’analyser la contribution des citoyens dans l’adaptation des milieux de vie en contexte de transformation de l’action publique et de l’action collective. Le projet s’intéresse particulièrement au contexte des ruelles privées de Québec et aux communautés de citoyens qui travaillent ensemble pour verdir et aménager leur milieu. Dans le cadre […]

The next round of Sex Now will be conducted at LGBTQ Pride events in 8 Canadian cities and participants will be asked to provide small blood spot samples for HIV testing. This will majorly […]

This research addresses the feasibility of using FRP reinforcement in concrete beams taking into consideration the effect of fiber dosage and prestressing level in order to enhance the structural performance, time efficiency and optimised-cost. Full-scale precast concrete I-beams will be tested as simple beams to determine their flexural and shear capacity. The test parameters include […]

The Connections and Engagement Survey Breakdown Project will provide a deeper understanding of relevant community health issues in the Metro Vancouver area by studying various elements associated with civic engagement and citizen participation. Using data collected by the Vancouver Foundation, this project will produce several reports on key issues of neighbourhood and community well-being and […]
