Earthquakes are very common in Canada as more than 4000 seismic activities get recorded every year. Apart from all the seismic activities, over 1200 earthquakes get recorded in B.C. Natural Resources Canada report indicates that, there is 30% possibility that B.C. will experience a very high risk earthquake in next 50 years. Ottawa, Montreal and […]

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

The proposed research project consists of an educational and research component. The intern will deliver a workshop/seminar series to the industrial partner, transferring the basics of polymer science to Lintec’s staff to used in material selection processes. Second, the intern will research biodegradable polymers for suitability in flexible packaging films as one possible route to […]

This project will attempt to explore the solution space around a number of key issues related to passive underwater acoustic monitoring. Namely the mitigation of acoustic flow noise in turbulent environments, digital compression techniques for underwater acoustic data and the implementation of real time signal processing algorithms related to the detection of marine mammals on […]

Amblyopia, also called lazy eye, is a significant visual problem in childre n worldwide. Lack of proper visual development during the first 8 years after birth leads to deficits in sensory and perceptive stimuli processing. Around 5% of children in the world are commonly affected with amblyopia. When left untreated, amblyopia affects everyday activities, quality […]

The rising incidence of social isolation and mental health challenges in modern society calls for a focused investigation into interventions that can promote social health and wellbeing. Given the amount of time individuals spend at work, this is a particularly relevant context. This project aims to develop an evaluation of the effectiveness of a multi-dimensional […]

Alors que la mobilité internationale atteint des niveaux sans précédent, exacerbés par les crises politiques et économiques, le visage de l’immigration se transforme. Au Canada, comme au Québec, on assiste à une augmentation sans précédents des migrant.es temporaires. Or, être migrant sur un statut temporaire peut engendrer différentes formes de précarités. Les services juridiques et […]

Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) exhibits superior material-level strength, ductility, and durability when compared to conventional concrete. Therefore, UHPC is being increasingly applied in concrete industry. However, prestressed UHPC girders may often show low structural ductility, which poses threats to precast/prestressed industry. This intern is going to create a large database of prestressed UHPC girder test […]

Le projet se concentre sur l’amélioration du processus de flottation par écumage, une méthode clé dans le traitement du minerai à grande échelle. Actuellement, un détecteur d’anomalie dans la cellule de flottation développé par Jumine identifie des problèmes tels que la vitesse inappropriée de la mousse, son affaissement ou encore sa coalescence trop importante, mais […]

With recent annual landings values over $200 million, snow crab remains a dominant component of Newfoundland and Labrador fisheries and these snow crab stocks have recently been certified by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) as an initiative of the Association of Seafood Producers (ASP). MSC certification increases market value and access by the fishery; however, […]

Young adults are at risk for social disconnection, and the severity of this unfortunate reality has been compounded by a decade’s-long trend toward worsening social health. There is, therefore, an urgent need for strategies that will effectively promote social health. To this end, researchers at the University of Toronto, in collaboration with the GenWell Project, […]
