During the COVID-19 pandemic, it is a remarkable trend that the documents on papers are replaced by digital documents. The partner organization, MyLaminin, has developed a new blockchain-enabled document sharing and verification service platform, that enables individuals, organizations, and governments to securely share important personal and business documents using blockchain. This project aims to extend […]

Development of stormwater management plans in Ontario has focused primarily on sizing of conveyance infrastructure and stormwater management ponds that mitigate the receiving water impacts of new developments. The focus has shifted in recent years towards the implementation of Low Impact Development (LID) that emphasizes the control of stormwater runoff at the source. Although several […]

Indigenous-led conservation areas require an economic heart. One approach could come through natural climate solutions (NCS) – activities which protect, restore and manage lands to maximize carbon sequestration and storage. Indigenous Peoples have been managing their lands and waters for thousands of years, and they have a wealth of knowledge to continue to steward these […]

Using data obtained over a period of 15 years from Brachytherapy procedures used on patients to treat prostate cancer, statistical analysis will be carried out to confirm the hypothesis that Brachtherapy treatments offer the best outcomes at the lowest cost in comparison to other treatment modalities. The first stage of the project will be to […]

Road safety affects everyone, not just Geotab customers. With several years of driving and environmental data from over 2 million vehicles, we have an opportunity to make our customers safer, as well as our communities and cities. To reduce accidents, we need to understand both the driving behavioral patterns that are predictive of accidents and […]

The goal of this project is to develop a more advanced cost-effective algorithm that can detect the road condition. The pressures signal from the pressure transducers installed on the struts of the off-road trucks are acquired and analyzed. The relationship between the road condition and pressure changes will be studied and researched. Based on the […]

As vehicle systems become more advanced, accurate information about vehicle states, parameters, and surrounding operating conditions becomes paramount for vehicle health monitoring and driver control systems. This information is vital for the production, cost, and efficiency of the vehicles, as well as a key to improving passenger safety. In commercial vehicles, not all parameters of […]

Developing energy-efficient and durable floor and wall systems is critical to modern precast building construction, particularly with extreme weather conditions in Canada and the associated high costs of heating. This project addresses the structural performance of two components critical to energy efficiency of buildings as a result of their low thermal conductivity, namely double-wythe ultra-high […]

In eukaryotic cells, genetic material is stored in a specialized compartment — the nucleus — while other cellular material is mostly found in the surrounding cytoplasm. The selective exchange of materials between the nucleus and cytoplasm, known as nucleocytoplasmic transport (NCT), is vital to many important cellular processes including gene regulation and protein synthesis. NCT […]

The abuse of antibiotics has caused many drug-resistance problems due to the development of resistance in bacteria. Monitoring the concentration of antibiotics in water is important for managing the problem of drug-resistant bacteria. While analytical instrumentation based methods such as mass spectrometry are available, they are expensive with a long turnaround time. This project aims […]

This project aims to build a new analysis toolkit for shared bikes, escooters, and cars. The method is based on a mathematical theory called complex network. Like internet and human brains, transportation system possesses network structure. To study its topological properties, we can calculate some indices that encode the information of the network. There are […]

Canadian companies have been struggling and lacking a systematic way to locate the ideal candidate for job postings externally and internally. The application of advanced AI-based algorithms can potentially extract information from at least 20 thousand resumes to build an automatic system to match candidate skills to required job skills which is the primary focus […]
