The objective of this project is to establish a long-term study on the ecology of grassland songbirds in the Waterton Park Front Area (just outside of Waterton National Park), Alberta. The student will examine how different grazing regimes and other management actions influence birds. Fieldwork, which will occur from approximately May to July each year, […]

The City of Vancouver’s Integrated Rainwater Management Plan and Rain City Strategy provides rainwater management targets and design standards for public spaces (streets, public spaces, parks) and private spaces (private property, City-owned property) in the City of Vancouver. To reach these targets, the City has adopted several Green Rainwater Infrastructure (GRI) approaches to achieve the […]

In the project, we will use an advanced microscope instrument, called a plasma focused ion beam to image the three dimensional structure of turbine materials used to generate hydroelectric power, with the aim of design a method for predicting damage and maintenance schedules in the long term. If we can understand the microstructure of these […]

This project will identify an optimal technology roadmap and integrated software engineering process for a new line of building heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) control system elements being developed by Greystone Energy Systems. The COVID-19 necessitates advances in HVAC and maintaining high indoor air quality standards. This trend highlights the need for HVAC systems […]

Le Comité tactique en intelligence augmentée du Centre de Recherche du Centre Hospitalier de l’Université de Montréal (CHUM) mène de front des projets pour activer et concrétiser les principes d’innovation et d’intelligence artificielle (IA) responsables en actions afin de faciliter l’adoption des projets innovants en IA au CHUM. En réponse à la crise pandémique de […]

The main goal of this research project is to study if a protein named SEMA3C can be a biomarker for early detection of an aggressive and lethal form of prostate cancer, named Double Negative Prostate Cancer (DNPC). To test if SEMA3C is a contributing factor in the progression of DNPC, we will compare SEMA3C level […]

La curiethérapie est une technique de traitement de tumeur cancéreuse qui vise à insérer des grains radioactifs dans la tumeur ou très près de celle-ci, pour livrer une dose de rayonnement élevée dans le volume-cible tout en réduisant la dose aux tissus sains environnants. La technique de curiethérapie par particule alpha est sur le point […]

Le marché du sport motorisé étant en constante évolution, il est nécessaire aux entreprises qui en font partie d’innover continuellement. Pour ce faire, l’utilisation d’outils numériques est essentielle au développement et à l’itération rapide de prototypes. Deux des aspects cruciaux à maitriser, lors du développement de produits, sont la répartition de l’écoulement de l’air et […]

The proposed research to be undertaken is intended to assess the feasibility of using black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) to disinfect and stabilize wastewater biosolids. The project includes the determination of conditions to optimize performance of the BFSL and provide an on-site method of biosolids management for the Municipality of Colchester. If proven successful, the […]

This research project is an innovative collaboration between the Guelph ‘Our Food Future’ Initiative and the Ivey Business School to advance the circular economy in agri-food sector in Canada. The project will apply Ivey’s unique research expertise in supply chains and operations management to engage with firms in Guelph agrifood ecosystem, identifying and mapping non-obvious […]

Research will be conducted to determine the best way to visualize and operationalize electric and diesel engine performance data collected in real-time for vessel owners and operators. The boats involved in this research work are candidates for using hybrid electric/diesel drive. The methods of displaying data will be explored to determine the best way to […]

Conventional ultrasonography is limited in its ability to image small structures within the ovaries (eg. the eggs and surrounding cells, small fluid filled sacs that contain the eggs known as ‘early antral follicles’, the structure of the ovulation glands). Preliminary data obtained from our research team at the Canadian Light Source (CLS) have indicated that […]
