The home care sector suffers from workforce inefficiencies with many of its healthcare providers not working to their full potential. This includes internationally educated nurses (IENs) who have obtained their education in a foreign country but are not certified in Canada. In addition to their professional expertise, IENs have multilingual and multicultural skills and perspectives, […]

This research will develop protocols and identify enzymes to break down compostable plastics using the FoodCycler system. The FoodCycler is a household device that accelerates the breakdown of organic waste, leaving behind a sterile soil-amendment-like by-product, and is a practical solution for rural, northern, and remote areas without municipal compost systems. Use of compostable plastics […]

Le coach de bien-être financier de Kaira, qui prend la forme d’une application mobile, comprend le comportement et le profil financier de son utilisateur, grâce à une connexion à ses comptes bancaires, et découvre et approfondit la connaissance de son profil psychologique et de son attitude face à l’argent. L’ensemble de ces informations lui permet […]

The coasts of Georgian Bay (Lake Huron) are used extensively by migratory songbirds (including species at risk) for both breeding and migratory fueling. We will study how adult and juvenile songbirds use and move among islands and the mainland during the post-breeding period when juveniles are still developing and adults moult flight and body feathers. […]

The interns will assist with surveying the literature and prior work as it concerns reporting frameworks that capture the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) aspects of small, medium enterprise (SME) policies and performance in Canada. This review will inform an interview process with a pilot cluster of businesses to determine the challenges and constraints they […]

Kapoose Creek Wellness (KCW) is building a vertically integrated business to deliver products and services that take advantage of a growing market for the functional and medicinal potential of mushrooms. A key asset in this vision is 320 acres of land within a rainforest on the North Pacific Coast of Vancouver Island where exotic species […]

Birds and small mammals are essential members in maintaining a healthy ecosystem and rely on complex habitat structure, such as a diverse mixture of trees, understory growth, or open patches. I will be identifying bird and small mammal composition in relation to forest stand complexity across various forest harvesting treatments, such as clear-cut and new […]

In this proposal, we aim to develop a secure and cost-effectiveness solution that optimizes and ensures data safety and consistency in the intranet network of Optilog. Unlike existing network security solutions which are mainly hardware-based, we will design a software-defined multi-tenant network solution allowing to select appropriate virtual network functions from different network providers to […]

In 2018, the results of a Climate Change Adaptation Standards Inventory Analysis conducted by CSA indicated cavity-wall design as requiring urgent climate change adaptation provisions. Distress in cavity-walls is often attributed to excessive differential movements governed by the drying shrinkage of inner loadbearing concrete masonry members, projected to increase with climate change, producing cracks in […]

Electric machine condition monitoring and control techniques are being widely investigated for electric vehicle applications, which are essential to ensure high performance, efficiency, and reliability in electric traction drive system. However, the testing and validation of these techniques are challenging and have not received enough attention. Thus, the research project aims to propose new testing […]

Dans le contexte de crise climatique et de montée des prix des matières premières issues du pétrole, il est urgent de trouver des voies alternatives de production via des procédés utilisant les ressources non fossiles, renouvelables et abondantes telles que les résidus de bois de l’industrie forestière. Ces résidus sont actuellement valorisés par un procédé […]

The Emotional Imaging Composer is a system that translates bio-signals into responsive environments in real-time. The sensors capture emotional profiles, reading physiological signals to effectively map a person’s emotional state. These signals are then processed to generate a fluid collage of aural and visual images which, when projected into an environment created to receive them, […]
