Wearable non-invasive devices have emerged as useful tools for tracking physiological data from companion animals. By combining this data with machine learning techniques, it is possible to proactively detect disorders and prompt owners to seek medical attention. This research aims to asses the efficacy of this approach by using wearable devices for continuous monitoring and […]

The system mainly relies on the power transfer in a wireless manner. It means no wire is required for charging the objects like cellphone, laptops, etc. anymore. Given that the partner focus is mainly on the wireless power transfer and that the proposed system can transfer the power in a wireless domain, the partner can […]

The Global Positioning System (GPS) has become an indispensable component of both civil and Geomatics practices. However, the GPS observations provide heights that refer to a reference ellipsoid and are not directly suitable for practical purposes. To transform GPS heights into physical (orthometric) heights referenced to an equipotential surface representing mean sea level on land, […]

Urban streams are commonly unsuitable for salmon. One reason is pollution that rainfall washes from roads into waterways. For instance, coho salmon are very sensitive to a car tire additive present in road dust. It has killed adults before they spawn and likely affects young salmon too. This problem has been described in the US […]

The proposed research will investigate two brain imaging measures that hold potential as tools for the diagnosis and assessment of traumatic brain injury (TBI), including mild TBI (mTBI)/concussion. One type of image provides information about structural damage to the brain’s anatomical connections, and the other about the functional connectivity of networks of brain regions that […]

This project is motivated by a significant demand for eco-friendly and recyclable composite structures for lightweight spoolable composite piping for oil, gas and water applications. Therefore, this partnership (with Flexpipe at Mattr Infrastructure Technologies) aims to determine an application envelope for multilayer spoolable larger-diameter composite piping by considering lightweight fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composite structures. In addition, […]

In this research project, we aim to address the uncertainties in the efficacy, safety, and dosing of prescription drugs, particularly for older adults who are more likely to take multiple medications. Pre-market drug trials often exclude the older population, leading to potential risks. Our proposed method involves utilizing machine learning and interactive visualization techniques to […]

In addition to food uses, vegetable oils are increasingly a source for renewable biomaterials and biofuels. Recent progress in the development of a biobased economy is focused on introduction and improvement of novel crop plants for non-food applications. The proposed project is part of an international collaborative effort to develop camelina as a new industrial […]

Lake Sturgeon, known as Namew (nam-ay-o) in Moose Cree, are an important part of the Moose Cree First Nation’s culture and are a subsistence food source for the community. Namew are considered a species of special concern within the Moose River watershed, but are classified as an endangered species globally. As a long-lived species that […]

This project seeks to enhance the impact of leadership training and development by evaluating the effectiveness of a digital program tailored for early-career leaders. Despite the vital role of leadership training, its success often remains uncertain. This research program, spanning two years, aims to bridge this gap by conducting three studies. Study 1 will validate […]

The proposed project aims to enhance groundwater resource management in previously glaciated areas, focusing on a case study from Guelph, Ontario. Groundwater plays a vital role in various applications, including drinking water and industrial processes, necessitating a deep comprehension of subsurface dynamics. However, creating accurate geological models for groundwater modeling and contaminant remediation remains challenging, […]
