The recent unregulated growth of short-term rental (STR) platforms such as Airbnb have increasingly affected both tourism and housing affordability in main urban centers. FairbnbTO mobilizes STR platform technology to help housing affordability and sustainable tourism in the neighbourhood. FairbnbTO is an evidence-based research project that aims to reinstate the social benefits of STR platforms […]

An analysis is to be conducted to investigate the integration of a hybrid power system for a small unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). A hybrid power system is proposed as a substitute to the existing batteries to enhance the endurance of UAV systems. A UAV with flexible PV?panels and a proton exchange membrane fuel cell is […]

University student-athletes are susceptible to anxiety, depression and suicidal ideation. Academic institutions need to support athletes by promoting positive mental health, reducing stigma and providing resources. This project will explore if integrating the Talk Today program positively effects student-athletes’ attitudes towards help-seeking and help-seeking behaviours. Originally launched by CMHA Ontario Division in partnership with the […]

Commercial Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are purpose-built vehicles that are tailored to the intended applications and use cases. As the use cases for UAVs continue to grow, so do the needs for new, bespoke vehicle designs. This is especially true in the use of UAVs for high-speed reconnaissance and surveillance where speed and agility must […]

Based on a 2006 census, it is estimated that Canada has 300 remote communities with a?total population of 200,000 people that are not connected to the North American electrical grid.?The primary source of electrical power and heating in Canadian remote communities is predominantly using diesel generators. Most of the diesel generators have been sized when […]

The proposed project will provide the resources to enhance AMPD Technologies existing cloud infrastructure and develop a scalable system that can be deployed in multiple regions. The Intern(s) will be required to search, select and present for adoption the latest methodology with developed steps, procedures and enhancements to improve the companies effectiveness in offering computing […]

Diagnostic tests that currently direct patient therapy in cancer and other diseases are more typically performed at the genetic level, despite the fact that the beneficial response to drugs and the development of resistance are rooted in the proteins that comprise the cell’s signaling pathways. We argue that this is a major gap, as proteomics […]

A ring resonator is a waveguide that circles around to make a closed usually circle-shaped loop. The electromagnetic wave may travel within this loop and instructively interfere with itself if the travel length is a multiplicative of the wavelength of the wave. In such a situation, energy builds up in the ring and very strong […]

One in three women, including up to 58% of pregnant women and 48% of new mothers, experience a pelvic floor disorder (PFD) in their lifetime. PFD affects the everyday lives of women from urinary continence, fecal continence, painful sex and their shame in discussing these symptoms. The lack of comprehensive medical devices to provide for […]

Physical disability in Canadian adults is largely due to painful mobility impairments, with the most common cause being diseases of, and injuries to, the musculoskeletal system and connective tissues (MSK disorders). MSK disorders are generally associated with natural aging, but are also caused by occupational injuries as well as brain or spinal cord injury or […]

This project collects and analyzes data about third party advertisers in Canadian federal elections. Third party advertisers are permitted to accept large donations from individuals, unions, and corporations, and to use these funds to directly intervene in Canadian elections, and yet we know very little about how these organizations operate. This project compiles third party […]
