This study asserts that the Indian Act among others are the root causes for the persistent violation of indigenous peoples’ socio-cultural and environmental rights in Canada. They experience systemic marginalization including, environmental injustice, unsafe drinking water, inadequate housing, healthcare and basic services, land and natural resources and the freedom to practice their cultures. Their traditional […]

Palladium-catalyzed cross coupling is one of the most powerful tools in modern synthetic chemistry, with is collaborative discovery recognised with the 2010 Nobel Prize for Chemistry. This class of reactions has had a huge impact on the way in which chemists think about building fine chemicals, because it allows for clipping of two molecules together […]

The project consist of analyzing the emerging approaches for policy-making and regulation of global online video service providers in Argentina and Canada. Some of the ongoing discussions on how to address them follow the European approach, after the enactment of the 2018 Audiovisual Service Directive. Measures such as content quotas, financial contributions and prominence obligations […]

Des technologies numériques présentent un potentiel considérable pour traiter le risque géométallurgique en amont et de manière continue pendant la production. Au nombre de celles-ci, la simulation phénoménologique, la commande prédictive, l’optimisation en temps réel et les capteurs virtuels forment le noyau autour duquel pourra s’articuler une proposition pour concrétiser le volet minéralurgique de la […]

Deductive verification is a subdiscipline of computer science which ensures software reliability and safety by formally modeling and proving program behavior. It is currently difficult to apply by non-experts and scales badly with program size and complexity. Pluggable type systems, which annotate variables and sub-programs with types that describe their expected values and behavior, offer […]

Although Li-ion batteries are currently the dominant energy storage solution in electric vehicles, they currently do not possess enough energy density required for long driving ranges at a reasonable cost. One solution is to utilize Zn-air batteries since they have both a high theoretical energy density and contain abundant raw materials allowing for low production […]

The aim of this project is to establish a long term collaboration between researchers at NRC/McMaster University and KIT, in order to develop machine learning (ML) methods to support and boost research on clean energy materials. Initial contact between Canadian and German researchers was established within the German Canadian Materials Acceleration Center (GC-MAC), which aims […]

Dielectric waveguides are key components of photonic integrated circuits (PIC) connecting platforms made of different materials. In this way it is possible to combine the complementary advantages of different integration platforms. The use of PIC allows the transmission of information signals imposed on optical wavelengths. The freeform dielectric waveguides also called photonic wire bonds are […]

Robotic experimentation platforms can enable faster materials discovery and optimization through automation, high throughput experimentation and standardization. However, an exhaustive search of a vast materials space with varying compositions, formulations, and processing conditions is prohibitively expensive. Machine learning algorithms are widely used to learn from experiments performed by automated experimentation platforms and suggest the most […]

Le couplage d’un plasma avec un milieu liquide est un projet de recherche très original, notamment en termes d’applications dans différents domaines et en termes de physique fondamentale. L’objectif du projet est de réaliser une étude expérimentale de la dégradation de microplastiques par décharges électriques dans ou en contact avec l’eau. Cela permettra d’identifier des […]
