Virtual Prototypes provide a fast and efficient way to visualize objects or products during their design phase. In architecture, engineering and various construction projects 3D models are used throughout process, from design, through construction, and into the facility management phase. An accurate 3D scan could represent a built region in a virtual world. The 3D […]

In Ontario, the bulk of electricity is generated in the south close to the major population centres and transmission lines do not extend far into the North. This results in many off-grid communities north of the Great Lakes that rely on diesel generators to produce electricity. This region of Northern Ontario is host to many […]

Currently, we do not know exactly how many Canadians are living with FASD, but we estimate 350,000 and that 3,000-4,000 babies with FASD are born […]

High-resolution visual and spatial models are transforming traditional methods of inspecting heavy civil infrastructure. These models overcome the inaccuracy and uncertainty of traditional inspection methods and enable infrastructure owners to assess deterioration and prepare plans for repair. Despite photogrammetry being the fastest method of collecting data for these models, it is slower than a traditional […]

The research proposed will produce critical knowledge relevant to the cannabis industry, allowing for the production of high-quality plant material with optimum cannabinoid concentrations. The project will investigate a rare earth element supplemental fertilizer (REAP) effects on cannabis growth, flower yield and cannabinoid concentrations. We will evaluate application of REAP at three rates and hypothesize […]
