The purpose of this project is to create evidence that describes the influence of urban trail development on population-level physical activity and active transportation. This is a growing field of importance as governments across all levels in Canada will be investing close to one billion dollars in urban infrastructure over the next ten years. There […]

The ‘Navigating Transitions’ project aims to address the existing gap in knowledge for community-based seniors-serving organizations undergoing organizational transitions, with a specific focus on a seniors centre in North Vancouver preparing for relocation. Currently, no comprehensive resources or guidelines exist to support seniors centres undertaking such moves. The findings from this study will not only […]

(1) Moleculex is dedicated to transforming traditional internal wound and trauma management and closure with safe and effective bioadhesive and mucoadhesive technology. (2) The core technology at Moleculex relies on natural-based polymers, which are limited by their inherent properties, through artificial synthesis. (3) The new polymer expected to be developed can be integrated into our […]

Demand for water and wastewater treatment has grown substantially in recent years, leading to a increased need for innovative technology. To remain a global leader in UV-based treatment technology, Trojan must continue to innovate through its intesive research and development program. One of Trojan’s distinguishing features has been the rigorous analysis and testing that our […]

Saltmarshes, meadows flooded by marine waters, are recognized as one of the world’s most effective ecosystems for sequestering carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and storing it in the soil, thus helping to mitigate climate warming. These marshes also are negligible sources or even sinks for the potent greenhouse gases, methane and nitrous oxide. Through our […]

Shopify provides a platform for merchants to sell their products online. Shopify merchants typically face various common concerns at different phases of their development, such as uploading their product descriptions, marketing their shop, increasing their sales, etc. The goal of this project is to build a software system to identify which problems the merchant is […]

One-third of the world’s demand for potash is being supplied by Saskatchewan. The potash mining industry is thus a core element driving rapid economic development in the province. However, potash mining operations generate a substantial volume of highly saline mine wastewater. There are strong demands for mitigating the salinity of potash mine water in Saskatchewan. […]

This study explores the relationship between caregiving skills and characteristics and the engineering profession. The goal is to understand how caregiving experience contributes to the development of skills that are beneficial in engineering organizations. Interviews and surveys will be conducted to: (1) identify caregiving skills relevant to engineering, (2) explore how these skills are applied […]

Xanadu’s mission is to make quantum computing useful, through development of quantum hardware, software, and algorithms. One important direction in achieving this goal is identifying problems that can be solved on quantum hardware that are not tractable on classical computers, and then building quantum algorithms for those problems. We expect that eventually we will have […]

A camera is a device that captures light from scenes. Over the last century, the evolution of cameras has been truly remarkable. Through this evolution, the underlying camera has been improved by using a better optical lens. However, the new improved optical lenses, have been remained fixed in terms of size and weight which makes […]

Indie Ink, in collaboration with the National Crowdfunding Association of Canada (NCFA), is laying the groundwork for publishing a book about crowdfunding via a crowdfunding campaign that would illustrate to the masses how this new venture is transforming Canada. This research project on planning and executing a crowdsourcing and crowdfunding campaign to gather content and […]

Supersonic fluidic oscillators are known to provide pressure pulsations which improve the metal superplastic blow forming manufacturing process. The symmetrical nature of a previously developed oscillator design, however, restricts their application to cases where two identical parts are formed simultaneously. Pressure fluctuation amplitudes are not sufficient when used for single part forming. This research aims […]
