Promoting the use of renewable energy such as biogas produced from organic waste is one of the main alternatives to achieve more sustainable development strategies. Anaerobic Digestion (AD) is an efficient and proven technology, which can be employed to convert Organic Waste to Biogas, and to reduce global methane emissions. The main objective of this […]

Sound walls are a common solution used to minimize irritating sounds in buildings and sensitive areas. Instead of using drilled shafts. An innovative foundation system for sound walls termed innovative post (steel foundation) has been developed by Atlantic Industries Limited (AIL). Steel piles can be rapidly deployed and put to use swiftly. The purpose of […]

Presently, sound wall foundation design for steel piles is being governed by the effects of the freeze-thaw cycles. The deformations produced by the freeze-thaw cycles cause structural damage and can be seen as an important index to judge the stabilities of structures in cold regions. A very limited number of studies investigated pile design within […]

This research project aims to use a combination of historical data and physics principles to determine a ratio of batteries to gasoline to power a vertical takeoff and landing aircraft. The physics method that will be used is called momentum theory. Momentum theory is a simplistic model of helicopter flight that determines how much power […]

In the context of a global increase in waste production and waning natural resources, this research intends to promote the shift to a circular economy in the Ontario construction industry. The work includes a literature review, an industry survey, structured interviews, and a period of testing assessment tool(s) with real projects for local use. The […]

Unmet food preferences result in meal dissatisfaction and is a significant risk factor for decreased intake of food and fluids in culturally diverse older adults residing in long-term care (LTC) homes. Food choices are based on traditional, religious, and personal taste that is part of an individual’s culture. Menu planning practices need to be culturally […]

Tasks involving lifting, pushing, and carrying (e.g., lifting laundry, cleaning the floor) are often challenging, especially for seniors and people with limited mobility. On stairs, performing these tasks becomes dangerous, potentially leading to serious injury (falls, back strain, etc.). Quantum Robotic Systems Inc. (QRS) addresses this problem by making unique mobile service robots. In particular, […]

This project encompasses the research, design, and implementation of innovative improvements in a 3D animation software for a Canadian-based media and entertainment company. The main objective is to attract and better serve the business’ underrepresented customer segment of artists in the Asian market. This aligns with the Cansbridge Fellowship’s primary mission to support Fellows in […]

Corporate sustainability reporting is becoming mainstream. An increasing number of investors considers and integrates environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria in their investment analyses. However, corporate sustainability data is still costly, not standardized, and sometimes even missing, Hence, the project will analyze how AI can be used for standardized corporate sustainability accounting and reporting. Based […]

Atmospheric behaviour will change substantially with Climate Change and is one of our generation’s most pressing challenges. The world requires accurate estimates of future the impacts from droughts, floods, heat waves, increase hazards, from freezing rain to hurricane to plan, prepare and mitigate. Combatting climate change requires reducing our emissions in a strategic way. Current […]

Gene therapy has risen as one of the more promising treatment options for disorders of the central nervous system (CNS). Using modified viruses to deliver genetic material has shown success however has several disadvantages including increased safety risks. Using a non-viral vector system has the potential to overcome many of the challenges that arise with […]

The proposal focuses on using safe, non-toxic fatty acids as bio-derived and recyclable solvents for extraction of biomass polymers/waste plastics (e.g. wood chips, woody or agricultural biomass, algae, oil bottles). We will employ a new approach using fatty acids that are responsive to pH changes such that their properties can be switched from hydrophobic to […]
