Marine mammals are some of the most contaminated animals in the world. Pollutants work their way up the food chain and cause a number of health issues in predator species like killer whales. This is because any pollution present in their food is passed on to them which continues to increase over their lifespan as […]

COVID-19 is an unprecedented public health emergency affecting every industry. As we wait to develop treatments and vaccines to protect individuals from COVID-19, we must develop strategies to protect workers in Canada’s vital industries. In the absence of any adaptation strategy, risk of infection will continue to threaten the health and safety of workers. This […]

This project will look at the career aspirations and confidence of engineering students in their first year of studies. The data to be analyzed comes from a survey of first year students collected as part of a co-op prepapration program. The data will be analysed to look for differences by gender, international and student status, […]

The detection of specific carbohydrates is critical for several processes including biofuel production, textile finishing, food production and human health. These carbohydrates play roles in human health including stem cell differentiation, genetic diseases, and viral infection (i.e., COVID-19). Presently, the largest barrier to understanding the role carbohydrates play in human health is the lack of […]

Lake Utopia Paper is interested in developing and improving the birch NSSC pulping process for the production of corrugating medium. The primary objective of this project is to develop delignification and sulfonation models for process control of NSSC pulping of birch. In addition, the relationship between the NSSC pulping process and the properties of the […]

Computer-supported Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems are increasingly replacing conventional paper-based information management in primary health care clinics. Recently, there has been a trend to make these EMR systems available in a Cloud-based, interoperable and network-centric architecture. The internship will research ways to increase the interoperability of an existing EMR product, with respect to emerging […]

Bridges are critical infrastructure assets, which connect transportation networks for the delivery of goods and services and are vital links for first responders. The goal of this research is to advance the state-of-the-art in innovative and cost-effective solutions to monitor the condition of bridge infrastructure using a low-cost sensor network and an intelligent robotic machine, […]

The proposed project is aimed at adding smart contract and sharding functionality to the Dandelion network, improving cryptographic efficiency with aggregable signatures under the BLS signature scheme, identifying a roadmap to a Quantum Resistant aggregable signatures, and mathematically proving the safety and liveness properties of the extended system using TLA+ proofs. This improve the platforms […]

Nowadays, the banking sector has undergone a massive transformation of its services from e-banking to smart banking that implements modern technologies to provide a more innovative experience for customers. This project addresses the challenge of providing a smart banking conversational service as a new-generation self-service in order to improve customer experience and satisfaction. The purpose […]

The delivery of online education and training has increased significantly over recent years, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Research on online course delivery has focused largely on offerings delivered by academic institutions for course credit. Little is known about learner outcomes during training courses that focus on skill development. Findings from this study will provide […]

La plupart des personnes autistes souhaitent être autonomes dans une majorité des sphères de leur vie, particulièrement dans celle de l’hébergement. Toutefois, plusieurs obstacles peuvent se présenter à eux tels que le manque de ressources résidentielles adaptées et l’arrêt des services de soutien. C’est dans cette optique que la Fondation Véro & Louis (FVL) a […]
