The project will investigate a novel HVdc transmission arrangement referred to as a “symmetrical monopole”. This configuration has the ability to continue operation even when one of the transmission line conductors is faulted. This property allows for the use of new compact dc transmission lines which occupy only a fraction of the right-of-way of other […]

The intern will lead the development of three research briefs based on findings from the 2023 Kindergarten Parent Survey, a unique research instrument designed by a collaborative of Halton researchers. The survey provides a snapshot of the wellbeing of Halton kindergarten preschool children and their families on multiple domains, including healthy development, physical activity, nutrition, […]

Light Rail Transit (LRT) is a vital mode of public transportation that allows efficient movement of people and goods throughout Canada, and especially in major cities. Contrary to highway and traditional rail bridges, LRT bridge design issues have received little attention, although most of the major Canadian cities have LRT systems. Currently there exists no […]

The overall objective of the proposed initiative is to develop a novel, automated and integrated field operation and berry harvesting system that will identify the root causes of increased loses; increase berry picking efficiency and product quality. Currently, there are 15 to 25% fruit yield losses during the harvesting with the existing commercial blueberry harvester. […]

ExoFlex est un projet d’équipe qui a vu le jour dans le cadre d’un cours à l’université. L’un des membres de l’équipe est atteint d’une maladie neuromusculaire provoquant une grande rigidité dans les tendons. C’est pourquoi ExoFlex s’est donné la mission de créer un appareil motorisé d’aide à l’étirement du mollet, conférant autonomie et bien-être […]

Les étudiants sont à risques de problèmes de santé mentale et les universités canadiennes auraient de la difficulté à y répondre1. La pair-aidance est une approche prometteuse, car les étudiants semblent avoir plus tendance à se confier à leurs pairs3-4. L’entretien motivationnel (EM) est un type de relation d’aide favorisant le changement d’habitudes de vie5. […]

This project will draw on academic research, community engaged research and precedent studies to formulate community and public-facing research outputs that envision models and frameworks for the evolution of community land trusts (CLT) in Ottawa. The project will output maps, visualizations, and stories that synthesise Ottawa’s housing needs and the potentials of CLTs. It will […]

La fleur de sel est un produit recherché dans le milieu gastronomique. La structure spécifique des cristaux de fleur de sel donne un croquant en bouche et libère en même temps un goût salé explosif. La fleur de sel est produite essentiellement autour de la Méditerranée. Pour produire de la fleur de sel au Québec […]

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

Sur les 350 millions de tonnes de plastique produites annuellement, seules 9% sont recyclées; le reste étant enfouies, incinérées ou simplement laissées dans la nature. La pollution induite par ces déchets menace tout notre écosystème. La conversion thermochimique conjointe de ces produits avec des résidus forestiers permettrait de venir proposer une solution élégante à cette […]

The Neighbourhood Sustainability Assessment: Connecting Impact with Policy Intent project seeks to conduct a sustainability assessment of the UniverCity neighbourhood on Burnaby Mountain. The Community Capital NSA tool will be used to evaluate how well the UniverCity neighbourhood is meeting its vision of being a model sustainable complete community. Results will be subjected to a […]
