As the world attempts to transition into a low-carbon economy, the mining sector is becoming increasingly important in meeting the promises of the Paris Climate Agreement. Despite their importance in providing critical minerals, mining activity severely impacts the environment, particularly the soil ecosystem. Therefore, large-scale rehabilitation efforts that are resilient to climate change are undertaken. […]

Patients with cardiovascular disease benefit from participating in cardiac rehabilitation which have been traditionally offered in-person. Patients find these to be challenging to attend and may not complete the programs if they enroll. Providing cardiac rehabilitation as an online program is a promising solution. My Heart Coach is an online web-based multimedia program for cardiac […]

Adverse growing conditions as a result of unpredictable changes in climate results in millions of dollars in crop and yield loss each year to Canadian farmers. Thus, the ability to improve crop performance under stress conditions is a major challenge. Improved plant performance, especially during the seedling stage of plant development, can be supported by […]

Survivors of traumatic brain injury (TBI) face challenges in obtaining integrated care that appropriately meets their needs. This is due, in part, to the nuanced and intersecting factors making TBI a complex clinical issue, but also to the siloed and uncoordinated service provision across public and community-based healthcare organizations. To address this challenge, the aim […]

The overall focus of this study is to assess the hypoxia tolerance of salmonids above and below culverts, which are human-made structures that allow water to flow under roads. However, poorly designed culverts can cause habitat fragmentation and negatively impact water temperature and oxygen levels. Gespe’gewa’gi Institute of Natural Understanding (GINU) is creating a robust, […]

A resource to measure collaborative practice and generalized learning within minutes needs to be easy of use, effective and provide intrinsic motivation to engage users. This project advances the company’s commercialization opportunities by expanding entry into larger organizations and provides an additional opportunity to expand market reach. In the future, the product can be used […]

Total hip replacement usually provides good outcomes for patients. Sometimes, if one part of the artificial hip is placed incorrectly, it can cause the hip to dislocate and require a second surgery to fix the implant. New computer software has been developed by our partner to guide the surgeon during the operation to place the […]

This project aims to revolutionize PVC recycling in a circular vinyl economy by further developing and optimizing a novel approach called Selective Dissolution and Precipitation (SDP). PVC, a widely used plastic, poses recycling challenges due to its complex composition, especially in multilayer materials, like coated fabrics. SDP involves selectively dissolving PVC from mixed plastic waste […]

This proposal outlines the development of a novel polymeric hard marine paint with antifouling and easy-to-clean performance, mechanically compatible with the state of the art in-field grooming and cleaning technologies. This proposal targets reaching a 120 days of biofouling prevention in static deployment conditions, the chemical composition of the novel paint non-inclusive of toxins or […]

The research project involves three interns collaborating on an innovative solution to improve farm management by automating weed control. Intern #1 is tasked with developing a smart system that uses machine learning and computer vision to distinguish between crops and weeds, ensuring the robot can identify what needs to be removed without damaging valuable plants. […]

Over 18,000 systems, including those of numerous government agencies and corporations, as well as 15 critical infrastructure companies in gas, oil, electricity, and manufacturing, were affected by the SolarWinds supply chain attack, resulting in an estimated recovery cost of over 100 billion1. This attack highlights the increased interconnectivity between IT networks and OT systems due […]

L’objectif du projet est d’innover dans la conception d’un C-OTDR (Coherent Optical Time Domain Reflectometer) et de trouver le meilleur compromis entre la performance et les coûts. Les C-OTDR sont utilisés dans des marchés niches tels que les applications de mesure sur les liens sous-marins ainsi que dans différents types de senseurs haut de gamme […]
