People with type 1 diabetes (T1D) treated with a basal bolus insulin regimen need to match their insulin bolus calculation with the estimated carbohydrate content of food to maintain glucose control. We want to provide them with a more flexible approach and give them the opportunity to quickly adapt mealtime insulin using automated carbohydrate counting […]

Built environments have been experiencing low productivity issues for a long time due to poor collaborative processes, inefficient information exchange, and discontinuity between design and construction. With more and more construction projects moving towards off-site construction, the concept of Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DfMA) is gaining momentum. This strategy is expected to be adopted […]

CAC recently announced a partnership with the Federal Government of Canada towards achieving Net Zero Concrete by 2050, enabling policy and investments. The industry has been vigorously provided low-carbon concrete solutions accepted in the relevant CSA standards. It is currently providing data for more technologies that offer deeper carbon cuts to reach the 2030 carbon […]

Thermally insulated systems (pipeline, process piping and process equipment) in the hydrocarbon industry require frequent assessment using various non-destructive examination. To access the surface underneath thermal insulations, inspection ports are widely used which have advantages of facilitating the high confidence data. The downside of inspection ports is when these allow moisture seepage which causes corrosion […]

Les femmes autochtones, noires et racialisées se retrouvent confrontées, au quotidien, à de nombreux obstacles systémiques et notamment des injustices épistémiques. Dans les milieux communautaires et universitaires plus particulièrement, ces femmes font l’expérience de différents rapports de pouvoir inégalitaires qui les empêchent de participer pleinement à la production des savoirs collectifs. Ce projet a pour […]

Firefighters risk their lives every day to protect ours. Their protective clothing is critical to allow them performing their duties while remaining safe. Unfortunately, the performance of their protective clothing degrades over time as it is exposed to high heat, UV light, moisture, launderings, etc., which raises serious safety concerns for firefighters and other people […]

The research proposed here aims to develop methods to increase the flight time of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) using atmospheric energy in the form of rising air thermals, as is often done by glider pilots. This would allow UAVs to rely less on their onboard motor and reduce the amount of energy consumed during flight. […]

Chinook salmon are anadromous fish, with juveniles spending 1-2 years in freshwater before migrating to sea to mature for 2-5 years and returning to freshwater to spawn and die. ‘Smoltification’ is the physiological, morphological, and behavioural transition of freshwater stream-dwelling ‘parr’ to downstream migrating ‘smolts’ and, eventually, saltwater marine ‘post-smolts’. If the salmon do not […]

This study will, through a survey of the Incubator members of the National Angel Capital Organization (NACO) establish a baseline for Incubator activity in Canada and examine the impct that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on both incubators and their member startups and assess to what degree changes caused by the pandemic may have long-lasting […]

To assess people’s risk of contracting Lyme disease in New Brunswick we will test 700 dogs for antibodies to the bacterium that causes the disease. Lyme disease is caused by infection with the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi, generally transmitted through a tick bite. Lyme disease is a debilitating disease and the risk of contracting it is […]

This proposed research will evaluate changes to ecosystem composition and configuration in the subalpine and alpine zones from the recent unprecedented outbreak of MPB in Jasper National Park (JNP), Alberta. New extended time-series data and innovative spatial assessments will be used to consider the impact of novel disturbances on species-at-risk, including whitebark pine, limber pine, […]

This research investigates how a neighbourhood in London, Ontario may be designed to be both sustainable and resilient, where “resilient” means capable of dealing with future shocks and stresses. One major future shock/stress will be climate change impacts, such as extreme temperature or precipitation. This research will also conduct preliminary energy modelling of a simplified […]
