For so many years, industries that are heavily reliant on geospatial data have been working with paper maps unfolded on tables. Some of these companies are still using paper maps to analyze huge amounts of data despite the current availability of geographic information system (GSI) for storing and managing geospatial data. Data management tasks using […]

In Canada, screw piles are widely used in supporting residential and commercial buildings. While the design of screw piles are general well-known to engineers, the uplift displacement of screw piles during the winter season is still mysterious, especially in cases where screw piles are installed in frost-susceptible soils. The present project is intended to conduct […]

Developing subject-based social media requires proper interaction with the users by learning and analyzing their profile and dynamically incorporating their opinion. In this project, a crowd-based profiling of users with respect to their peers will be developed and confidence factor calculated based on the collective opinion of the crowd will be assigned to the individuals’ […]

The transportation sector is responsible for 25% of Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions and efforts to address climate change by electrifying transportation will reduce the demand for gasoline and diesel fuels. At some point in the decline internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle owners will face the same challenges that have plagued electric and hydrogen vehicle owners […]

ATB conducts enterprise-wide stress tests regularly in line with regulatory requirements such as for the annual Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP) and for quarterly reporting purposes. This requires forecasting a conditional pro-forma financial statement over a three-year period and the resulting key risk ratios. Credit losses tend to have the largest impact under most […]

The proposed research project aims to develop, implement, and evaluate the impact of a parent coach training program for a group of 12 Early Intervention (EI) professionals. The training will be grounded in evidence-informed practice and structured using an established framework for clinical competency education. The EI professionals will learn about the theories that inform […]

We introduce Swarm Fabrication, a novel concept of creating on-demand, scalable, and reconfigurable fabrication machines made of swarm robots. We present ways to construct an element of fabrication machines, such as motors, elevator, table, feeder, and extruder, by leveraging toio robots and 3D printed attachments. By combining these elements, we demonstrate constructing an X-Y-Z plotter […]

Retrofitting the existing building stock is a key field of action for architecture to move towards a sustainable future. This research proposal focuses on developing data collection digital workflows and communication protocols between different design and machine software for timber fabrication in an onsite / near-site condition enabled by a Factory in a Box (FIAB). […]

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 […]

The purpose of this project is to ensure Breakaway remains at the forefront of technology utilization in the accounting industry. Our belief is that embracing the next generation of accountants and their unique experiences and perspective surrounding technology and communications will provide our firm with innovative strategies for the adoption and utilization of tools and […]

This 3-year international partnership project between Canada and China will facilitate knowledge exchange and advancement through active engagement of academic and non-academic partners in both countries. The overarching goal is to develop user-focused initiatives to promote and intervene on mental wellness among children and youth (age 12 – 17) in both Canada and China. One […]
