High concentrations of phosphate in the waterways cause algae blooms which are detrimental to water quality and fish habitat. The research project conducted by the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry and the Upper Thames River Conservation authority, is attempting to alleviate this problem by chemically altering sawdust so that it can act as a phosphate […]

Lamps and lighting products are the most commonly used electrical product around the globe. With the improvement in lamp technologies, from incandescent bulb to compact fluorescent lamp to LED bulbs, the products have grown complex and hence they require an improved recycling process. In general, lamps consist of various valuable metals such as iron, copper, […]

At landfills and industrial waste containment facilities, synthetic polymer membranes (known as geomembranes) are placed along the bottom and sides of the containment cell to prevent leakage of contaminants to the environment. These geomembranes are subject to large loads from the overlying waste, resulting in bulging of the geomembrane due to the overlying particles. By […]

The intern will be studying the way genetics are changed during the progression of multiple myeloma and cancers in general. The changes in the genetic profile will help understand the disease. Throughout the project, genetic alterations of chromosome ends, known as telomeres, will be analyzed through complex mathematical and computational 3D architectural softwares to predict […]

La séparation visuelle automatique des artères coronaires dans les images médicales, appelée segmentation, est un prérequis pour le diagnostic et l’évaluation automatisée de pathologies cardio-vasculaires. C’est également un outil très important pour les cliniciens dans la planification des interventions. Nous proposons dans ce projet d’améliorer la segmentation automatique des artères coronaires en profitant des récentes […]

Indigenous communities continue to be excluded from the mainstream economy due to a lack of successful partnerships with non-Indigenous businesses. In this project, we will conduct ‘partnership benchmarking’ with resource companies and Indigenous communities establishing the organizational competencies and capacities needed to accelerate economic development. This project will conduct research resulting in Indigenous communities and […]

The Centre for Operations Excellence Industry Projects consists of six sub-projects sponsored by five different industry partners. Each sub-project represents an important challenge for its sponsor. These sub-projects include assessing the effects of traffic interventions at airports (Boeing 1), simulating demand for flight simulator training (Boeing 2), predicting return to work outcomes using unstructured data […]

The healthcare industry is shifting from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) care to real world data (RWD) to understand how well an intervention performs in clinical practice. The best source of RWD is source data – that is, data that are collected at the interface of the patient and the health care system. The University of […]

With the maturity of renewable energy technology in recent years, micro-network has become an ideal power supply solution to the remote villages and islands. Recently, researchers have tried to reduce the cost of the system based on ideal assumptions. However, the factors that actually affect the system life cycle cost are varied. Including the control […]

The “Intelligent Camera Switching” research project’s goal is to understand how multiple cameras can be utilized in a meeting space to ensure that remote participants have the best view of the people and activities that take place in the room. This “Best view” should be thought of as providing the best context for activities. A […]

La recherche proposée consiste en l’élaboration d’un modèle statistique permettant de prédire la valeur marchande des joueurs de soccer de l’UEFA. L’objectif d’un tel modèle est de permettre d’évaluer plus rapidement, efficacement et précisément la valeur des joueurs afin de faciliter les transactions, l’évaluation des actifs de la ligue et le moment propice pour effectuer […]
