THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

Cellulose derivatives can undergo various chemical reactions, resulting in materials with better processability and broader applicability. For instance, incorporating cationic or anionic functional groups into these materials enhances their solubility. However, when combining different components to create a product or during the processing, understanding the properties of the modified materials is crucial for predicting behavior […]

High performance carbon fibre thermoplastic composites are experiencing a strong growth in demand. These materials often come in the form pre-impregnated carbon fibre rolls. The impregnating resin being a thermoplastic polymer, the rolls can be stored at room temperature for an indeterminate time. The fabrication of the pre-impregnated thermoplastic composite generates wastes in the form […]

Appleby College is in the early stages of developing its AI learning and training program for high-school-age students. The program aims to provide students an interactive platform focusing on AI literacy and competency. AI technology is a trending domain incorporated in every aspect of life. Therefore, ensuring that students understand AI at an earlier age […]

This project will extend and generalize the software architecture that underlies Living Architecture Systems Group installations. These originally incorporated one-off and bespoke software to enable the specific context of the installation. Gradually the software has become more systematized, and some theoretical principles have emerged. This project will focus on extending and generalizing the current software […]

RAYHAWK has an autonomous solution for opening and closing railcar lids are actively working to expand their capabilities. Railcars are not standardized and all Railcar Top Objects (RTObjects) include lids, lid strappings, latches, latch seals, and walkways which make for expansive railcar configurations that need be supported in future solutions. The key challenge to expanding […]

This project will explore reversible chemical reactions that can be used in interactive installation works to modulate light and enhance viewer experience in these immersive environments. The outcome will benefit the Riverside Architectural Press and the Living Architecture Systems Group by establishing the viability of key components, positioning proof-of-concept prototypes for potential integration into next-generation […]

Flood control structures such as floodgates and dikes have created numerous small-scale barriers for Pacific salmon in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia restricting access to historical fish habitat. Floodplains were historically used as overwintering habitats by juvenile coho and Chinook salmon, making them critical to the growth and survival of these species. Lack of […]

Healthcare has been completely transformed by the spread of Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) devices, which present before unheard-of possibilities for monitoring, diagnosis, and therapy. Since healthcare data is sensitive, these solutions must ensure authorized access to data while maintaining confidentiality, integrity, and the availability of resources. The underlying security vulnerabilities in IoMT systems can […]

Training artificial intelligence and machine learning (AIML) models requires a large amount of data. However, access to data for AIML projects has been problematic in practice, largely due to privacy concerns. One approach to enable data sharing and data access is to anonymize the data. However, in the Canadian context, a national standard and a […]

Sport participation rates are reported to decline during adolescence, specifically among girls and this is even more problematic for Canadian immigrant children. Large breast size and excessive breast movement are frequently associated with barriers to physical activity for them. To address these barriers, health promotion strategies need to employ culturally competent approaches. A focus group […]

Cardiovascular disease remains a leading cause of death in Canada and is a progressive disease characterized by heart dilatation and impaired heart function that can ultimately lead to heart failure, with a rising incidence and a 5-year survival rate of only 50%. Advanced cases of heart failure caused by dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) are referred for […]
