Modern agriculture has focused on cultivating annual crops for their uniformity and quick production timeline. However, a sustainable ecosystem includes the combination of annual and perennial plants, with perennials providing soil health services and resilience under dynamic conditions. Newly developed lineages of intermediate wheatgrass, a perennial crop that uniquely produces grain and forage, were introduced […]

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellites provide wide area global perspectives through images of the Earth’s surfaces and its governing processes. Capable of detecting small variations in surface roughness, and unconstrained by lighting and weather conditions, SAR is a robust remote sensing instrument. Designing and operating a SAR is a complex process, as there are numerous […]

Research will be conducted to determine the best way to visualize and operationalize engine performance data collected in real-time for vessel owners and operators. Performance data will be correlated to weather and sea conditions to understand their impacts on fuel usage and emissions. The methods of displaying data will be explored to determine the best […]

Cette recherche vise à dresser un portrait de la santé psychologique et du fonctionnement scolaire des élèves du secondaire, ainsi que de la santé psychologique du personnel scolaire. Ce portrait se concentrera tant sur des indicateurs positifs, comme la satisfaction des besoins fondamentaux, que sur des indicateurs négatifs, comme les symptômes dépressifs et anxieux, de […]

This project aims to identify and fix the gaps in existing business processes of commercial insurance brokers group. In order to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the processes, I plan to redesign the processes to eliminate bottlenecks and improve the service quality by developing workflow management system for the organization. Workflow management system deals […]

Sustainable access to energy requires a shift from carbon-intensive sources. Hence, this project aims to improve efficiency of national energy systems via informed decision-making. The holistic modelling framework will integrate individual aspects of energy production and consumption in buildings. Our platform will simulate and optimize the energy source composition to minimize emissions and economic impact. […]

ICF construction is an alternative for wood-frame construction for residential buildings which potentially has higher energy performance compared. However, this potential advantage has to be measured and compared. This study compares the energy performance of residential buildings constructed with Insulating Concrete Forms (ICF) to those of conventional wood frame buildings in four cities in three […]

Les commerces de proximité sont un signe fort du dynamisme et de l’attractivité d’une ville. Les habitudes de consommation des citoyens ont fortement changé depuis les deux dernières décennies en lien avec l’introduction des technologies pour le commerce électronique et les plateformes de médias sociaux. Cela s’est accentué durant la période du COVID, il semble […]

With the escalating demand for sustainability and climate monitoring, LoRa mesh networks have proven instrumental in large-scale environmental monitoring. Serving as the final link in a mesh network, gateways play a critical role by gathering measurements from each sensor and transmitting them to the internet. The performance of gateways is crucial to the efficacy of […]

CLIC (Capturing Learning in the Classroom) is a Canadian-developed web-application designed to allow teachers to document observations of children’s learning experiences in the classroom. It streamlines the documentation process and automatically generates summaries for planning and communication of learning. CLIC enables teachers to link their observations to the expectations set out in the standardized curriculum […]

Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) copolymer plastics are used in many commercial applications, ranging from housing for goods, automotive fascia, LEGO bricks to 3D printing materials. Consequently, the recycling of ABS poses a challenge in the context of recycling plastic waste. It is particularly difficult as it is a multi-phase material. Polystyvert has applied their expertise in recycling […]

In this project, we aim to improve the efficiency of waste detection on conveyor belts using advanced computer vision technology. By incorporating innovative generative models and data fusion techniques, we seek to enhance the accuracy of identifying different types of waste materials. This research will contribute to more effective waste sorting processes, ultimately reducing environmental […]
