This project involves the evaluation of existing youth media programs designed and delivered by the Access to Media Education Socieity. The intern will identify gaps and areas for growth within these programs, as well as development of a range of new outreach workshops and materials. The data generated by this project will direct and guide […]

Sensing technologies require the deployment and maintenance of complex and large infrastructures. This research proposal is focused on people’s activity recognition technologies though existing Wi-Fi infrastructures. The information gathered by this technology can be applied to different industries like home automation, security systems, etc. In the future, this technology will powered applications in the home […]

The central goal of this research project is to broaden measurement of school performance across Canada by developing, collecting, and measuring data on six performance indicators as follows: academic achievement, physical health, social-emotional development, creativity, citizenship, and school climate. Having developed competencies in these areas during phase one of the project, the current phase aims […]

Le projet a pour but de développer une méthodologie globale permettant d’élaborer des systèmes pronostics intelligents. Cette méthodologie inclura deux aspects : une approche pronostic générique hybride (mécanismes de dégradation, données diagnostiques et connaissances d’expert) et des méthodologies d’aide à la décision (analyse des incertitudes du modèle, sélection d’algorithmes IA, génération d’indicateurs ciblés). Ceci permettra […]

Les mines en exploitation doivent se soumettre à des directives environnementales en ce qui a trait à la qualité de leurs effluents. La non-toxicité aquatique, pour la truite arc-en-ciel et les daphnies, est un des critères essentiels, alors que l’azote ammoniacal est l’un des principaux paramètres responsables, même à faible concentration. Ses sources sont l’eau […]

Hundreds of thousands of endemically poor children are in need of quality prostheses. Current manual processes of prosthetic production are labour-intensive and slow. Moreover, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates a shortfall of 40,000 trained prosthetic technicians in low/middle income countries. Without the enhanced mobility provided by prosthetics, these children suffer from a dramatically reduced […]

Organizations face increasing pressure to articulate organizational risk appetite/tolerances but are not adequately equipped to do so. To remedy this problem, this project addresses how an organization should determine and express its risk appetite and tolerances. It employs qualitative research methods to integrate diverse theory, practice and policy literatures with the partner organization serving as […]

The goal of this research is to understand and develop techniques to improve flour performance in bread making, a low margin market which requires some of the tightest flour specifications across all bakery platforms. Standard flour quality testing methods will be compared to more recently developed quality tests as well as experimental methods. The end […]

Ce projet vise à sélectionner, caractériser et usiner des pièces en aluminium à faible expansion thermique pour des applications spatiales en remplacement des pièces dont la performance et les coûts de fabrication ne sont plus satisfaisants. Différents alliages incluant ceux à base de silicium sont pressentis pour ce projet, mais il y a soit un […]

This project will investigate the genomes of two naturally occurring bacteria. These bacteria are of interest because they can convert wastes from biodiesel and bioethanol production into valuable compounds. This is novel in comparison to other bacteria used for similar processes because these bacteria are generally regarded as safe, naturally occurring, and contain no genetic […]

Dans différents outils de conception assistée par ordinateur (CAO), dont CATIA, il est possible d’intégrer un mannequin humain dans une maquette numérique à des fins de simulations. Pour intégrer un mannequin humain au sein d’une maquette numérique, il est nécessaire de le positionner adéquatement. Le positionnement des mains du mannequin sur l’objet à saisir constitue […]

The NWMO is designing an engineered barrier system to contain and isolate highly radioactive used nuclear fuel from people and the environment in Canada. Used nuclear fuel is hazardous to humans for millennia. The millennia design life of the engineered barrier system necessitates the use of computer models to predict their evolution. The results of […]
