Plastics recycling remains a major challenge to global environmental sustainability, particularly for vulnerable populations such as remote Indigenous communities in which plastic waste is not viably captured by existing recycling networks. This research project aims to support the on-going work by NetZero Enterprises Inc., in the technical and business R&D for scaling-up the company’s mobile […]

Water injection in the industrial gas turbines is frequently used to improve the turbine performance during hot days. Injected water evaporates in the compressor section providing effective cooling leading to increased gas density and improved performance. Water injection technology poses several technological challenges. The injection system needs to be optimized to provide a uniform droplet […]

Bio-bricks are concrete bricks of recycled materials for use in low-cost structural applications. Natural aggregates will be replaced with recycled aggregates from construction and demolition waste to mitigate the carbon emissions and waste disposal. As a part of climate action plan against the climate crisis the Government of Canada has set its goal to achieve […]

As the game of basketball evolved, analysis of the game has also grown from taking average of field goal percentage to more complex analytics. In the 2013-2014 season, the NBA has installed the SportVU Player Tracking technology in every NBA arena. SportVU collects 25 frames of data per second, each frame containing the (x,y) coordinates […]

As information technology (IT) and telecommunication systems continue to grow in size and complexity, the types and the number of telecommunication and networking devices required to support provider’s services have surged. Identifying these devices in a network is a challenging task, since they usually lack proper or accurate documentation describing their operating characteristics. Accurate device […]

This proposal presents research projects to evaluate a new technology, Electrovestibulography (EVestGTM) that holds potential to objectively, quickly and quantitatively measure the severity of concussion, thus aiding in its diagnosis. EVestG signals are recorded painlessly and non-invasively from the external ear in response to a vestibular stimulus; they are the brain signals modulated by the […]

Les expériences sexuelles des adultes avec incapacités physiques (AIM) sont compliquées par la présence de perceptions sociales négatives quant à leur sexualité. De plus, ces croyances sont souvent adoptées par les professionnel·le·s de la santé, menant à une invisibilisation de leurs besoins d’intervention en santé sexuelle et reproductive. Selon un devis qualitatif basé sur la […]
