Engineering consulting is a unique occupation that requires professionals to possess both strong technical and non-technical abilities. Engineering consulting organizations have identified the the gap between top performers and their peers to pertain to be social, relational and leadership skills. Our work seeks to identify the leadership skillset that differentiates top performers in engineering consulting […]

Repurposing existing natural gas pipelines is “a low-cost option for delivering large volumes of hydrogen”, accelerating the realization of full-scale hydrogen economy for energy transition. Hydrogen-steel interactions would induce the so-called hydrogen embrittlement, causing cracking and pipeline failure. The corrosion defect present on the existing pipelines tends to facilitate occurrence of the hydrogen-induced cracking. The […]

This research project will involve exploration, analysis and consultation for developing of a framework integrating information about social determinants of health and quality of life measures into an Indigenous Digital Health Ecosystem. The framework will include guidance for collecting, analyzing, and using social and health data to inform policy, investment, clinical, and service actions in […]

La crise de la COVID-19 a stimulé le besoin de transformation numérique des organisations afin d’adapter leurs modèles et pratiques d’af-faires pour survivre à la pandémie. Compte tenu de la nature de la consommation directe de la plupart des offres culturelles, le secteur cultu-rel semble souffrir de la pandémie de COVID-19 plus que les autres […]

The space industry is growing ever larger, with many commercial solutions being actively developed. Hybrid rocket engines fulfill a need in smaller launchers, to launch small satellites. These satellites currently have to wait in queue, often for several years, in order to obtain a place on the big launchers currently available. Solutions developed locally by […]

Using metal frames for constructing residential buildings is gaining attention in North America. They would be advantageous over wood frames because: (1) metal has a higher strength-to-weight ratio, therefore, less framing would be required, (2) metal frames are lighter in weight than wood, so easier to carry them on site, and (3) they offer better […]

Helicobacter pylori (HP) colonizes chronically ~50% of the world’s population, causing gastric tissue inflammation and gastric ulcers or cancers. Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) have probiotic effects against HP, meaning that they help alleviate symptoms. We found that 5 LAB provided by partner Lallemand Health Solutions (LHS) produce and release molecules that inhibit the growth of […]

The Frontenac Arch Biosphere (FAB) is a geographic region in southeastern Ontario comprised of unique natural areas, farmland, and rural communities, with a mandate for supporting sustainability. The region and its inhabitants are thus well-positioned to contribute to sustainable tourism, though this potential has not yet been fully realized. In partnership with the Frontenac Arch […]

TerraVerdae Bioworks is working with a type of bacteria that is able to metabolize methanol, converting it into a bioplastic. TerraVerdae is focusing its commercial operations on bioplastic production but is interested in identifying other bioproducts that can also be produced. It is known that this type of bacteria forms a symbiotic relationship with plants, […]

La transition énergétique mondiale nécessite le développement et le déploiement massif des énergies renouvelables, telles que les technologiques photovoltaïques. Les technologies photovoltaïques à base de matériaux pérovskites sont parmi les plus prometteuses pour les prochaines générations de modules photovoltaïques. Éventuellement combinées avec des cellules à base de silicium, des rendements de conversion photovoltaïques proches de […]

IOTO International Inc’s work is recognized as innovative by some of the largest media organizations in Canada. Their Goverlytics software applies Machine Learning to political data. They intend to extend their software to provide statistical measurements of political discourse similar to performance statistics available in other domains like sports. IOTO is in the process of […]

Since 2000, interior Fraser River steelhead (IFRS) have declined to historic low abundance. Due to this, COSEWIC in 2018 designated IFRS as endangered. Hatchery propagation can reduce interannual variability in egg-to-fry survival rates and increase the freshwater abundance of juveniles. There remains controversy over the effectiveness of hatchery operation as a conservation measure. Some studies […]
