Land trusts are not-for-profit organizations that are able to hold and protect private lands for long-term conservation purposes. They are one approach for Indigenous nations to protect their traditional territories, especially in areas dominated by private land. Different Indigenous nations are interested in establishing their own land trusts but various legal, financial and administrative issues […]

Around half of the world’s population are living in some form of earthen building. Compressed earth blocks are widely known as a low-cost material that has high thermal capacity, low environmental impact, and ease of construction. The project will address three items: material characterization, development length of steel reinforcing bars and performance under freeze-thaw cycles. […]

Neurodegenerative diseases represent one of the largest healthcare burdens in Canada. However, there is limited understanding of how the complex biological factors affect the development of neurodegenerative diseases, thus the era of precision medicine has not to come to treat them yet. Here, we take focus on bioenergetic disruption as a shared risk factor of […]

Network parameter configuration is crucial for optimizing performance in a cellular network. Often, such parameters are too numerous and their interdependence too complicated for them to be efficiently configured by human experts. Therefore, it is of great interest to study network parameter configuration as a machine learning problem. We aim to expand on the machine […]

Continuous miner (CM) optimal performance depends upon various factors which controls the rock-bit (cutter) interaction, including the type and geometry of the bits (cutters), operational parameters (drum speed, advance rate and etc.) and geological setting of the target rock. According to the conducted investigation on CMs performance at Goderich mine, although, these machines have improved […]

Canada depends on seasonal snowfalls for much of its freshwater supply, and climate change is expected to have a major impact on the quantity, and quality, of available freshwater. However, the models that scientists use to make future projections of water availability are not perfect, which creates uncertainty in the exact future scenario that will […]

Our project is centred on identifying the needs of the performing arts sector, in terms of producing, and understanding what form of producing supports these needs and what solution can we develop to solve this problem. Our hypothesis for this project is that there is a major gap in the Canadian performing arts industries with […]

In this project, we would like to develop an enhanced Haptics Virtual Reality Ground Control Station (Haptics VR-GCS) to control an aerial vehicle using a virtual controller defined within the virtual environment. Such an advanced portable Haptics VR-GCS system is important to lower pilot workload and increase situational awareness. In the first place, the stand-alone […]
