The objective of this study will be to characterize the generator column line resistance, at different flow rates, throughout the generator lifecycle.

To prepare today’s youth to be successful in the future, science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) learning has become a priority within Canadian education systems. To better meet the learning needs and requirements of 21st century educators, teacher education must continue to be resigned and updated to reflect the changing K-12 education system. This study […]

Precast concrete shear walls are an economical structural system for low, medium, and high-rise buildings. Precast concrete structural systems have various advantages, such as improved quality of construction, efficient use of materials, reduced construction time, and cost-efficiency. The concrete wall panels are typically one story in height and are connected horizontally and vertically to adjacent […]

Expressing Vibrancy is a yearlong project outlining an approach for measuring the cultural vibrancy of neighbourhoods. The proposed research seeks to develop methods for understanding and measuring the cultural vibrancy of neighbourhoods, using Hamilton, Ontario as a case study. Using innovative technologies (geo-referenced video), this project will analyze the relationship between measures of cultural vibrancy […]

Blindness resulting from inflammatory ocular conditions such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and progressive keratoconus (PK) is increasing around the world as populations age. Together they affect over 8 million individuals in N. America alone with up to one in four of those over 80 being at risk. Despite this, treatments for such conditions are […]

The presence of metals impurities in conjugated polymers can have important consequences on their performances and lifespan. Yet, measuring trace levels of metals in polymeric matrices is challenging both in terms of sample preparation and detectability. In this project, we aim at assessing diverse approaches to overcome the challenges associated with the measure of numerous […]

Medical dispatchers are responsible for making decisions about when and how patients are transferred by different hospitals. This can be a very difficult task since patients who are in urgent or emergent conditions require immediate transfers. One of the key pieces of information that dispatchers use in these medical decisions is the time to definitive […]

Psilocybin is a promising pharmaceutical compound that is currently undergoing development for therapeutical use in Canada. Many people who take psilocybin report heightened sensation, improved perception, and better focus after taking a micro-dose (e.g., 10-20% of the full clinical dose). Atlhough micro-dosing has gain popularity in neuro-hacking circles and in some popular literature, very few […]

The goal of the project is to develop a slow-release fertilizer in a chemical reaction wherein salts are impregnated into the pores of a feedstock material; either biomass or biochar. This will not only allow for prolonged nutrient retention and absorption by plants in the soil, but it will also act to sequester carbon in […]

The business partner is interested in finding ways to further automate small business lending and annual renewals. In recent years, with the improvement in efficient computing and data storage and movement, the use of deposit data in lending has become more prevalent in the industry. Within industry risk managers, it is widely accepted that deposit […]

Des modifications du contenu en bactéries intestinales (flore intestinale) pourraient contribuer à la sévérité des symptômes des troubles du spectre de l’autisme. Le déséquilibre entre ‘bonnes’ et ‘mauvaises’ bactéries pourrait influencer les symptômes gastrointestinaux et le fonctionnement du cerveau. La prise de probiotiques est une façon pouvant permettre de modifier la flore intestinale. Nous voulons […]

The oceans today are under a variety of stressors including warming, acidification, eutrophication, and deoxygenation. Due to their increasing impacts on marine environments, there is a huge push for new monitoring and environmental assessment techniques to understand and mitigate change. Environmental DNA (eDNA) refers to the tiny pieces of DNA shed by all living things […]
