From Data Collection, Cleaning, Integration and Management to Analytics, Prediction and Recommendation

Individuals (donors) wishing to donate funds to non-profit and/or charitable organizations want to know how the organizations operate and how effectively their donations are used. Dexterity has developed an online service called Place2Give which aims to answer those questions. The research project aims to employ social network analysis and data mining to enhance the data […]

The Effects of Natural and Anthropogenic Disturbance onArctic Wildlife

The exploration phase of the Agnico Eagle Meliadine Mine (AEMM) close to the community of Rankin Inlet, Nunavut overlaps with a study area where our research group has been studying the ecology of Arctic peregrine falcons since 1980. We are now taking advantage of this unique opportunity to combine a long-term, pre-disturbance data set with […]

Valorizing Industrially Produced CO2: An Effective Solution for Carbon Capture and its Conversion to Marketable Products

Sequestering the industrially produced CO2 leads to its capture via the underground formation of stable inorganic carbonates/bicarbonates. An alternate approach is to convert the CO2 into valuable organic products having commercial markets. The incorporation of CO2 as block molecule with which to expand the platform is part of the Enerkem strategy aiming to further improve […]

The effect of Ultrasound on orthodontic tooth movement

For over 100 years, malocclusion is being treated by using metal arch-wires, braces and bands. But these appliances are unaesthetic for the patients so these days patients are more inclined towards clear aligners. However the treatment duration is long which is of a great concern to the orthodontist as it might effects the general oral […]

Design and Seismic performance of Ductile Steel CBFs in Canada

Steel Concentrically Braced Frames (CBFs) are widely used seismic-resistant systems in Canada and Europe. Despite their popularity, previous experimental and numerical investigations have revealed significant shortcomings, highlighting opportunities to refine the current seismic design provisions in both regions. The aim of this project is first to evaluate the seismic performance of moderately ductile steel CBFs […]
