When using geophysical methods to gain insight into the structure of the earth, large geophysical data sets are collected. Since the earth is a 3D structure, the data must be interpreted and processed in 3D to be of the most value in the exploration process. This research will develop the capability to invert large gravity, […]

The Canadian Government offers many forms of support to start-up businesses and entrepreneurs. However there is no single, easily accessible source of information available to entrepreneurs to be able to determine which funding programs they are eligible for and which programs fit closest to their business. This research, in conjunction with Twothirds Water Inc. and […]

With the development of imaging technology, camera trapping becomes one of the best ways to record the presence and activities of large mammals in a given area. The approach to monitoring the animals can assist people in the community with decision making about preserving biodiversity. In the past, experts analyzed such images manually, which required […]

Sustainability continues to be one the most critical issues of the 21st Century. Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) are a popular research topics as academia looks to promote sustainability within industry. Small to mid-sized Engineering Procurement and Construction (EPC) firms in Canada remain outside the capable bounds of the expensive and complex tools and consultation required […]

The principal objective of this proposal is to discover novel drugs to treat colon cancers. Currently colon cancer is a huge medical problem and there are many disadvantages to current drug therapies. These disadvantages include their ineffectiveness to completely eradicate cancers, causing toxic side effects and the development of multidrug resistance. A group of compounds […]

There is a global human resources shortage in the mining industry due to a number of factors including demographics affecting supply and projected production growth affecting demand. Companies are struggling to develop and retain Highly Qualified People (HQP) who are essential to the successful operation of their business. HQP have an invaluable combination of technical […]

This project’s goal is to build an algorithm that is able to understand and summarize content and sentiment from multiple sources based on a given topic or opinion. This algorithm would then be adapted into TrafficSoda’s existing infrastructure allowing them to maintain and grow a competitive advantage in our marketplace. It would also save the […]

As the scope of design has become more complex – designers have moved from designing products, to technology, experiences, environments and more recently services. This progression in design, its implications, serves the need for the exploration of more holistic approaches to leverage designers’ understanding of these complex problems. Furthermore it identifies the need for designers […]

The onset of symptoms in Alzheimer’s Disease, Picks disease, progressive supranuclear palsy and cortical basal degeneration are connected to the formation of insoluble deposits of the tau protein in the brain, also known as neurofibrillary tangles (NFT). The Treventis Corporation has developed new chemicals that are designed to prevent the formation of NFT, which may […]
