Potato diseases remain a major limiting factor in profitable potato production. The aim of this study is to conduct fundamental studies of potato black dot disease, caused by the soil-borne fungus Colletotrichum coccodes, and to evaluate management strategies to reduce the incidence of black dot in potato fields of Alberta. The study involves assessment of […]

Les retards scolaires et décrochages constituent des défis majeurs pour le milieu de l’éducation. Offrir un soutien scolaire adapté à l’ensemble des élèves est donc nécessaire. Alors qu’Alloprof propose plusieurs manières de recevoir de l’aide à distance, notamment par téléphone, clavardage avec un humain ou un robot, nous souhaitons étudier les choix et la satisfaction […]

The One Okanagan Watershed project explores sustainable financing mechanisms to support regenerative practices and watershed security in the Okanagan River basin. Led by SFU ACT – Action on Climate Team and Salmon Nation CoLabs, the project has fostered the Okanagan Catalyst Network, engaging diverse stakeholders, including regenerative farmers, organic wineries, Indigenous groups, NGOs, universities, and […]

Ce projet a pour but de comprendre quelles sont les stratégies visuelles utilisées par les para-athlètes de Boccia lors de la pratique de leur sport. En effet, en Boccia, un sport paralympique de visé et de précision, la vision joue un rôle crucial dans l’exécution et la précision du lancer. Nous pensons que le nombre […]

This research project aims to understand how factors like where people live and their social and economic situations influence the development and outcomes of localized scleroderma, a rare but serious disease. By using advanced tools like machine learning and maps that track changes over time, the project will identify patterns and risk factors that may […]

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

This project focuses on answering a key research question: How can the efficiency and adaptability of wind turbines be improved through the development of smaller, designs that reduce environmental impact, minimize noise, and are suitable for deployment in diverse locations, including rooftops (residential, industrial) or in remote areas?

Le projet vise à développer une méthode de caractérisation rapide pour déterminer les propriétés rhéologiques anticipées des bitumes à partir de leurs caractéristiques chimiques. Actuellement, les essais rhéologiques utilisés dans l’industrie nécessitent des délais importants avant d’obtenir les résultats, ce qui ralentit la production. En revanche, les essais de caractérisation chimique offrent des résultats plus […]

This research project seeks to develop the Ultrasonic-Electrical Concrete Assessment Method, an innovative approach for early detection of micro-cracks in concrete structures within nuclear power plants. These micro-cracks can compromise the structural integrity of concrete, increasing vulnerability to damage and potentially affecting safety and performance. By integrating advanced technologies—including ultrasonic waves, electrical measurements, thermal imaging, […]

This mixed-method study focuses on bringing new learning to the field of women in leadership, particularly their level of happiness and well-being. Using female senior leaders at a Canadian bank, a quantitative survey will be administered to 225 leaders. The survey utilizes a combination of an adapted Cantril’s Ladder (Gallup), the Eudaimonic Workplace Well-Being Scale, […]

This project is a joint collaboration between researchers at Carleton University and the College of Early Childhood Educators (the College). The College oversees the regulation and professional conduct of over 60,000 Registered Early Childhood Educators (RECEs) in Ontario. A major challenge that the College faces is supporting the high quality and professional practice of RECEs, […]

The research project focuses on improving and optimizing planar transformers used in safety devices for hazardous areas. The intern will work with HB Safety Automation Group Inc., which develops explosion-proof safety barriers. The project aims to enhance transformer efficiency and safety by optimizing core materials like Manganese-Zinc and Nickel-Zinc ferrites. This will help solve issues […]
