The master’s degree thesis will be on developing digital twin remote real-time monitoring systems to improve the predictive maintenance of in-service equipment on marine/offshore vessels. This will result in safer sailing because it will be possible to predict when and where failures occur, so that the appropriate corrective actions are initiated in time.

In this project, we are trying to expose our existing core system functionalities to a public user interface. We will design, implement and test a research prototype user interface that can provide simple and flexible content sharing over a web-based user interface (UI) for organizations such as healthcare or surveillance systems that require a mechanism […]

Le kin-ball collectif est un sport inventé au Québec. Il est en croissance un peu partout sur la planète. Cependant, que bien peu d’études se sont penchées sur ce sport. Ce projet de recherche vise à mettre des bases sur la compréhension de l’effet sur le corps de la frappe à un ou deux bras […]

Genacol Canada Corporation Inc. manufactures a collagen hydrolysate (CH) supplement sourced from bovine (Genacol® Original Formula) that has shown positive results and potent efficacy in three clinical trials for reducing joint pain. Following digestion and absorption, CHs release amino acids and peptides that can lead to the health-promoting properties of the supplement. Recent studies suggest […]

Regulatory changes in accounting standards implemented in 2018 (rules IFRS 9) require that banks’ provisions (i.e., reserves set aside to cover future losses) are evaluated in a forward-looking manner, considering carefully-designed projections of the macroeconomic environment. Further, should a financial instrument experience a substantial risk increase, the methodology to calculate reserves must become more conservative. […]

In this Mitacs project, we turn to agent-based modelling as an approach to model the complex behaviour of an individual’s financial transaction history. Agents are given a set of behaviours, such as habits, relationships, occupation, and daily patterns, and then act in a simulated environment to fulfill those behaviours. Our agent-based modelling will simulate the […]

The pandemic has had a devastating impact on mental health, substance use and homelessness in Canada. The pandemic has also made visible the current patchwork system of care provided in the private, public. It is expected that the medium-long term mental health and substance use impacts of the pandemic will be significant at both the […]

The program of eight interlocking applied research projects employs various machine learning (ML) methodologies with large volumes of Island Health cross-continuum patient-service encounter data inside the Island Health firewall. The objective is to generate ready-for-use products that will promote better outcomes via more effectively optimized interoperation of IH programs. As well, the work targets objectives […]

Cultural Planning encourages recognition of a community’s network of interrelated assets, and maintains that it is beneficial to conserve built cultural heritage resources. Many municipalities, including the City of Guelph, have undertaken cultural mapping initiatives, which are considered an initial step and a defining feature of this vein of planning. Guelph’s mapping initiative identifies the […]

Avec l’aide de la technologie développée par SWDS, les services publics d’eau potable pourront lever plus tôt et à moindre coût les avis reliés à l’eau potable, tels que les avis d’ébullition de l’eau ou de ne pas boire d’eau. Lors d’un incident de contamination de l’eau potable, les outils de SWDS peuvent trouver les […]

Falls are the leading cause of injuries in older adults. Identifying older adults with risk for falls prior to discharge home from the Emergency Department (ED) could help direct fall prevention interventions, yet ED-based tools to assist risk stratification are under-developed. The aim of this study was to compare the performance of our proposed machine […]
