Plenty Canada has partnered with the University of Guelph to launch a biocultural knowledge and mapping project to begin restoring Indigenous knowledge, visibility, and character to the Greenbelt as an important Indigenous cultural landscape in Ontario. Our proposed work builds upon the success of a pilot project that we launched with the Canadian Commission for […]

This project aims to investigate the benefits of using linguistic cues for extracting speech-of-interest from competing background noise. Given an algorithm which detects formants of a speaker of interest within an audio signal which includes background noise, and given that the limits of such an approach are reached when formants of the speaker of interest […]

Ion sources are important for TRIUMF Canada’s national particle accelerator laboratory, as they are a key sub-system in the TRIUMF 500 MeV Cyclotron which is used for world-class fundamental discovery science, and cutting-edge technology development and transfer to the medical and industrial sectors. D-Pace is a spin-off of TRIUMF, and is a global leader in […]

This project – Canadian Architectural Education, Accreditation, and Licensing trends in a Changing Environment – partners with the Canadian Architectural Certification Board (CACB) to comparatively analyze quantitative and qualitative data concerning challenges and opportunities facing academic and professional sectors in Canada. The intention is to better understand past changes, current states, and future trajectories so […]

This project attempts to design an efficient waste heat recovery and thermal management system for air-cooled electric vehicles. The thermal management system will be useful for the small electric vehicles to control the optimal temperature in the cabin and battery bank operating under diverse climatic conditions varying from extremely cold to hot. The successful accomplishment […]

Using a participatory action approach, this research will examine the potential of the ARTpreneurs program to support social connection, knowledge sharing, and skill building among young artists in the Atlantic region.

The proposed research project concerns the development of optimization tools and sizing methodologies used to assess optimal structural airframe configurations and aerodynamic lines for given business cases. A PDF intern will be in charge of proposing improved optimization strategies, mainly related to composite material, and of adding specific capabilities inside the internally developed sizing tool […]

The integration of new technologies, on both supply and demand sides, with the existing energy infrastructure, is always a challenging ta sk. First, the a mount of energy demand must be predicted to manage the needs of deploying in the future. Second, the predicted energy must be introduced to a simulation tool (e.g., PTDC) to […]

We discovered that thiopurine drugs have potent antiviral activities against respiratory viruses including influenza viruses, SARS-CoV-2 and “common cold” coronaviruses. Inhibition of human GTPase enzymes is central to the antiviral mechanism of action of these thiopurines, but the precise target enzymes remain unknown. The primary goal of the current proposal is to work with Applied […]

La majorité des personnes atteintes de maladies chroniques souhaite participer activement dans la prise de décision concernant leur santé notamment en étant mieux informée. Un portail Web en santé peut être une des solutions. Ce projet a pour objectif de mieux connaître les utilisateurs d’un tel portail afin de l’adapter et de répondre pleinement aux […]

Les agents conversationnels ont révolutionné la manière d’interagir avec les fournisseurs de service, mais re-quièrent d’être correctement entraînés par rapport au domaine d’application visé. L’outil Olivo développé par Koïos Intelligence vise à offrir une expérience interactive, guidant l’utilisateur au travers des processus de pré-vente, de vente et d’après-vente pour tes les types d’assurances. Son amélioration […]

Small plastic particles (microplastics and nanoplastics) are found in oceans, lakes, and rivers. Their effects on organisms and human beings are still unknown. Microplastics and nanoplastics found in the environment will be weathered, coated, and/or fragmented. Yet, the effects of these modifications on microplastic and nanoplastic removal during water treatment are yet to be thoroughly […]
