The Downsview redevelopment is one of the most significant projects to occur in the history of Toronto, led by Northcrest Developments (Northcrest). Northcrest is wholly owned by the Public Sector Pension Investment Board (PSP Investments), one of Canada’s largest pension fund managers. The goal is that over the next 30 years, the 370-acre Downsview Airport […]

Newly available technologies for 3D fabrication — notably hobbyist 3D printers — are widening the user base for 3D design software. Autodesk, currently the industry leader in 3D design software, is broadening the scope of their activities, seeking to reach amateur users and to encourage their use of Autodesk software solutions. One of the most […]

Bioactive peptides obtained from grains can be employed to prevent or treat several diseases such as diabetes, cancer, etc., and potentially contribute to the sensory profile (e.g., texture, mouthfeel) of foods and beverages. Brewery industry has two major by-products, namely Brewer’s spent grain and spent yeast, that are suitable for the production of bioactive peptides. […]

Herd Navigator (HN) is a “precision technology” for dairy cow management based on in-inline milk sampling and advanced data analysis. This system has recently come to market in Canada. The proposed project will combine analysis of data from the HN system and controlled field trials to develop and validate best management practices for health, production […]

Telops a développé une solution complète pour l’inspection aéroportée de détection de méthane. Cette solution, basée sur la caméra hyperspectrale infrarouge thermique HCAM (Hyper-Cam Airborne Mini), a un volet important de traitement des données. Les données acquises lors de vols d’inspection sont sous la forme d’images de radiance spectrale et d’images visibles, le tout géoréférencé. […]

FONEX Data System Inc. is developing solutions to address the challenges that telecommunication service providers face in upgrading their access networks to sustain the growth in data traffic. A critical component of the solutions is low cost widely tunable laser modules. In this internship project, a novel laser source is proposed based on external cavity […]

This research project will examine the challenges that prevent the proper implementation and awareness of treaties, made between the Canadian government and First Nations in Saskatchewan. We will analyze these barriers from different angles, including the role of organizational and social frameworks, and women’s leadership in Indigenous community organizations. Using feminist and decolonial perspectives, we […]

In 2006, the Government of Ontario introduced “Places to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe” to control urban sprawl, protect farmland and green spaces, create complete communities and revitalize downtowns and urban centres. Key specifications include minimum intensification targets, such as requiring 40% of new residential development to occur in existing built-up areas. […]

Incorporating renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar farms, have posed a challenge to electrical engineers due to their intermittent nature as the time and amount of energy generated depends on the weather. For this reason, grid stability and predicting the behaviour of renewables has been increasingly more important. In this study, we propose […]

Financial institutions gather vast amounts of data from our transactions. However, using this data directly can risk our privacy. A potential solution is generating “synthetic data”, which contains real data information without copying the original data. Generating this data, especially for bank transaction sequences, is challenging. During our research internship, we will use recent developments […]

This project will train a Master’s geology student to use a variety of geological and geophysical datasets and concepts to define the stratigraphic architecture of deeply buried sandstones used for CO2 sequestration at the Aquistore site in Saskatchewan. The extent to which these sandstones form a single continuous body, or are compartmentalized, will affect their […]

Cette recherche vise à identifier les nouveaux domaines thérapeutiques d’intérêt pour le marché canadien, ainsi qu’à évaluer les principales différences entre les processus d’évaluation des technologies de la santé au Canada, au Royaume-Uni et en Amérique latine. Les études et recommandations de remboursement publiées au cours des cinq dernières années par les organismes d’évaluation des […]
