The project aims at enhancing performance and efficiency in InSAR (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) systems. Such systems are used to measure displacement or deformation of any object on earth. Both environmental and industrial studies can benefit from projects like this, as it will help them make decisions based on a more realistic view of current […]

Fine particulate air pollution is recognized as causing health problems globally, but health researchers are just starting to understand where people receive their exposure, which will influence policies and regulations. There is a need for size-resolved particle measurements using a device that can be carried easily by a person. Nanozen has built such a device, […]

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) can deliver needed substantial emission reductions as we transition to alternative fuels. However, it is important to verify that CO2 being injected into the subsurface is well contained within the geologic container. The intern will conduct surface monitoring research to define normal fluctuations of gas concentrations and isotopic indicators in […]

Les problèmes de santé mentale au travail sont la première cause d’absentéisme au Canada. L’amélioration de la qualité de vie au travail, dont les recherches démontrent qu’elle favorise aussi la performance des organisations, est une réponse à cette problématique. La présente recherche a pour objectifs de proposer un nouveau cadre d’analyse et un nouvel outil […]

La fabrication de pièces aérospatiales représente plusieurs défis importants. Parmi ces défis, le chiffrage des coûts et de manière générale la gestion de l’ensemble des informations est un casse-tête souvent très difficile à solutionner et dépendant de représentations géométriques. La solution idéale doit permettre la combinaison d’informations multifactorielles tenant compte du capital humain, structurel et […]

Discovery Agents is a leader in mobile, augmented reality educational technology, with products and services intended to enhance student and teacher experiences within informal and formal educational settings. With a growing industry demand for diverse science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) professionals, this study proposes to examine the impact of the Discovery Agents Mission Builder […]

The bond between adhered manufactured stone masonry veneer units and the setting bed mortar will be studied. It will involve testing shear, and tensile bond on small samples. Samples will consist of 2 types of adhered manufactured stones; two types of setting bed mortar (Type S, and modified dry-set cement mortar); and two types of […]

Over 350,000 Canadians live in long-term care facilities where the rate of falls is up to 3 times higher than among individuals living in the community. Wearable sensor technology holds great promise to accurately monitor an individual’s fall risk based on the activity profile and to detect dangerous fall events. With the understanding that hip […]

Upper body injuries make up 32% of the injuries that ice hockey goaltenders have in a season. These values may be subject to change, as the National Hockey League is investigating rule changes that will decrease the size of the goaltender’s chest and arm equipment. The primary objective of this research is to investigate the […]

Counting coins, with speed and accuracy, has been a challenging issue for banks and stores. People used to count coins manually before the arrival of coin counting machines. The process of counting coins manually is a very time consuming and tedious job. Moreover, mistakes are likely to occur due to various reasons such as fatigue, […]

Systems today often handle massive amount of data with little regard to privacy or security issues that may arise. This problem has become more acute as more and more individuals and organizations are using cloud-based data storage. Encryption techniques has often provided a key role in protecting sensitive information, however many challenges remain in using […]

Work conducted during this project will involve the extension and further development of existing methods for detailed measurement and subsequent modelling of radiowave propagation characteristics in indoor environments at extremely high frequencies. Results will enable the determination of the powers, time delays, and angles of arrival of waves incident upon a receive antenna over direct, […]
