Current treatment options for tremor, the most common movement disorder, are quite poor. Discontinuation of compliance to oral medications is due to significant side effects and no noticeable benefit in tremor severity. Botulinim toxin type A is a recognized tremor therapy however, adverse events and the inability of Movement Disorder Neurologists to visually locate these […]

This project involves better understanding how climate change might affect our natural environment with the Region of Peel located within the Greater Toronto Area. The approach is to consider how vulnerable components of the natural environment, such as streams, forests and the organisms living in these habitats, might be to a new climate or extreme […]

Mechanical wear and chemical corrosion are the two main dominant factors that limit the service life of industrial machinery. Wear and tear of tools and equipment are significantly intensifying due to the increasing demand for superior efficiency, productivity, and throughput of industrial apparatuses. Since the surface of the materials is more exposed to abrasive wear […]

Dolce & Gourmando Inc., a Toronto-based retail business specializing in unique specialty foods, currently faces challenges in inventory and product information management. It’s reliance on diverse suppliers, absence of an integrated inventory management system, lack of customization options in the existing software, and financial inability to implement cost-intensive alternatives [1,2,3], necessitate the development of a […]

Bio-Brick Labs manufactures concrete and natural stone replacements for veneers and rainscreen applications. The material is made of 85% recycled material, captures CO2, and requires no heat, high-energy machinery, or exotic materials to make. This results in a carbon-negative product during the lifespan of the material. This project aims to evaluate the in-service performance of […]

The proposed research to be undertaken is an investigation into the relationship between electronic communication (E-mail, text messages, and Instant Messages) and key employee/employer outcomes (Employee outcomes include: work-life conflict, perceived stress, depressed mood, and anxiety; Employer outcomes include: engagement, work-role overload, job satisfaction, and work related stress. The research may also look at scales […]

La transition énergétique au Canada va nécessiter une augmentation importante de la production électrique en faisant appel notamment aux sources d’énergie renouvelable. Bien que bénéfique, l’introduction à grande échelle de ces nouvelles sources de production compliquera la tâche des planificateurs et opérateurs du réseau électrique. En effet, ces spécialistes doivent réaliser des simulations par ordinateur […]

This project seeks to fully develop Copsys Intelligent Digital Skin (CIDS) technology, elevating it from Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 7 to market readiness. CIDS, a novel paint-based digital technology, aims to revolutionize corrosion and asset integrity management across various industries. It integrates impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) within a coating, marking a significant innovation in […]

This project will develop, pilot and evaluate a training program for job coaches and other related support providers to person with Autism Spectrum Disorder, using several sequential steps, as follows. (1) We will conduct an environmental scan of existing job coach training curriculum. (2) We will present this information in focus groups across Alberta that […]

L’intégration de l’intelligence artificielle générative (IAG) dans différentes sphères économiques et sociales s’est accélérée à une vitesse qu’on n’aurait pu prévoir il y a à peine un an. Tous les secteurs professionnels sont touchés, chacun tentant d’évaluer les gains et limites de cette intégration. Le milieu de la communication créative – agences de publicité, agence […]

Mon projet a pour objectif d’approfondir la compréhension que nous avons du milieu collaboratif en organisation en fournissant un volet académique aux interventions de l’entreprise de conseils Atelya. En travaillant sur le projet d’analyse des réseaux d’entreprises, nous apporterons une dimension nouvelle au champ d’étude en appliquant les acquis à un contexte de « Big […]

Our CBU Research Team is working with Net-Zero Atlantic under the NZA Program to develop a point-source carbon capture and storage technology that 1) uses a capture medium constituted from seawater and 2) employs a technique that permanently sequesters the captured carbon as metal carbonates using the contaminated water of flooded former mines. This work […]
