Haptics-Enabled Virtual Reality Simulation of External Ventricular Drain: A Pilot Study

Virtual reality surgery simulation is an emerging technology in surgeon training to train surgical motor skills in virtual environments. This technology reduces the need for training on patients, cadavers, and animals, and enables objective evaluation of the skill acquisition process in a systematic manner. Although this technology has attracted a great deal of interest in […]

Tree restoration on marginal land: Impacts of historical land use, climate change, and bioamendments on carbon sequestration potential

Carbon is a component of CO2, an important greenhouse gas (GHG) responsible for climate change. Forests store more carbon than is found in the atmosphere, with most of this stored in the soil. This ability to store carbon has led to many tree-planting projects across Canada including a large-scale tree restoration program led by Reckitt […]

Public Projections of the Living Architecture Systems Group

The research project bridges across international architectural exhibitions using nextgeneration dissemination venues, including online and physical screenings. The project includes the immersive architectural environment Grove and its associated CGI film Grove Cradle. The film was created for the 17th Venice Biennale of Architecture as a collaboration between Professor Philip Beesley of Canada, Warren Du Preez […]

Improved Collision Detection through Neural Guided Motion Planning

One of the primary challenges of creating robots that can complete useful real-world tasks is providing the robot with the ability to navigate through its environment while avoiding collisions with objects. In order to do this, robotics relies on the use of collision checkers to determine which actions will result in a collision. The time […]

Additive Manufacturing of Cockpit Interior Component and Fatigue Property Testing

The CAE flight training services and flight simulators provide the future pilots with digital immersion experience and operational support solutions. Currently, additive manufacturing is found to be a valid way to fabricate the cockpit interior components with lower lead time and accelerate the product development. In order to understand the fatigue behaviors of printed component […]

Development of a nondestructive condensation sampler for airborne viruses

The proposed project is to develop a bioaerosol sampler which will have minimal impact on the infectivity of captured viruses. Airborne viruses are subjected to environmental conditions which could affect their potential of infectivity as well as their capacity to resist the shearing forces and desiccating conditions during sampling procedures with standard sampling apparatuses. This […]

Étude de l’écosystème entrepreneurial au profit de la communauté noire du territoire Ontarien

L’autonomisation des populations noires au Canada passe notamment par l’entrepreneuriat. Les gouvernements fédéral et provinciaux et les acteurs privés (banques…) ont mis en place des programmes de financement et d’aide à l’accompagnement. Des écosystèmes entrepreneuriaux se sont renforcés ou ont émergé récemment. Notre étude vise à comprendre leur fonctionnement, leurs pratiques et les conditions de […]

Identify Novel Genes Responsible for Female Infertility and Recurrent Miscarriage

Couples with infertility and recurrent miscarriage suffer from not being able to have children. They visit the best specialists in different medical centers, sometimes in different cities and countries seeking help before their biological clock declines and many do not achieve pregnancies. The overarching goal of this project is to identify novel genes for female […]

Anonymisation et synthétisation de données transactionnelles

La science des données est une discipline clé pour la Banque National. Au cœur de sa pratique se trouve la gestion des données. La banque souhaite toujours créer plus de valeur pour ses clients grâce aux données, mais elle souhaite éga-lement protéger leurs données et empêcher tout mauvais usage qui amènerait un bris de confiance.
