Le projet est l’utilisation de diverses méthodes pour déterminer la capacité thermique des matériaux. Les applications directes sont : ? La détermination de la capacité du sol à fournir une énergie thermique. L’information obtenue permettra un meilleur dimensionnement de forage géothermique et ainsi optimiser les coûts de projets en géothermie résidentiel. ? La détermination des […]

This project addresses the need for clear baseline data of infections impacting avian populations, and the need for clear, thorough, and detailed reports on infection prevalence, affected avian species, and locations of infection occurrences from wildlife rehabilitation centres. Our goal is to develop clear baseline measures of three major health impacts to avian biodiversity in […]

The aims of the partner organization are to: bolster audience engagement, i.e., to enhance the experience of those already attending the Stratford Festival; bolster audience attendance, i.e., to draw new crowds to the Stratford Festival; and establish the Festival as a leading digital media creator in the field of professional theatre. With the intern’s focus […]

Ce projet de recherche vise à mieux comprendre pourquoi les enrobés bitumineux (asphalte) contenant des granulats bitumineux récupérés (GBR) ne se comportent pas toujours de la même façon lorsqu’ils sont fabriqués en laboratoire et en usine. Le but est d’identifier les différences entre ces deux méthodes de production et de proposer des solutions pour rendre […]

The design and quality of the indoor environment is understood to play an important role in the well-being and productivity of building occupants. While many building and design strategies have been employed to enhance the indoor environmental quality of workplace environments there is a surprising a lack of empirical evidence drawn from buildings in-use that […]

Cancer treatment requires a precise understanding of how drugs work at different doses and schedules. This research project aims to develop an advanced method for designing clinical trials for early-stage cancer beyond traditional approaches. The project will create a sophisticated statistical framework that simultaneously evaluates drug toxicity and effectiveness across multiple complexity levels while incorporating […]

The purpose of this project is to work with the Haida to implement a community-based tourism program to support the development and revitalization of their language. Based on the findings of a doctoral thesis undertaken with the community, the program will support culturally appropriate uses of language within tourism settings. Foundational to the program is […]

The proposed research project to be undertaken by the intern aims to find cost-saving trends of market-based instruments and other mechanisms for small municipalities. By collecting data indicating the performance of different types of market-based instruments and other mechanisms the intern will be able to distinguish which ones have seen the most positive results in […]

The medical cannabis industry in Canada is at the forefront of cannabis research, yet it faces significant challenges due to the plant’s complex chemical composition, including numerous cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, and other bioactive compounds. Currently, cannabis prescriptions often rely on limited clinical data, leading to inconsistent therapeutic outcomes. This project addresses these challenges by developing […]

The proposed research project addresses the transformative potential of CO2 valorization in industrial processes, turning waste emissions into valuable products while advancing economic and environmental goals. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a necessary option, but in a truly circular, net-zero economy, there will be opportunities for CO2 to be used as a resource. We […]

There is a growing awareness of the role of microbes in the functioning of higher organisms. The human microbiome has now been shown to play key roles in health and physiology. Similarly, plants have had microbes, mycorrhizal fungi for example, associated with their roots since they colonized the land. It is becoming clear that there […]

This project uses machine learning algorithms to better understand back movement and low back pain. We apply supervised learning time series algorithms to data collected from Backtracks’ wearable de-vice — which consists of a malleable think curve that reads data collected from the participants’ spine movements. At each time step, such movements are represented as […]
