Industries around the world have been leaning towards cleaner solutions to mitigate their environmental footprint. IT is one industry that has been rapidly growing during the recent past. Hence, it is important to enhance the environmental performance of IT solutions through a life cycle thinking lens. Eco-efficiency evaluation enables analyzing the environmental and economic performance […]

Compared to previous generations, Canadian children today spend considerably less time playing freely outside and are much more likely to be driven to school on a daily basis. This trend can be explained by various issues, including parents’ concerns about strangers and traffic, and a lack of safe places for children to play and move […]

The proposed project aims to develop simple thermal resistance network models using experimental and CFD data to predict the performance of conventional circular sectioned heat pipes and thermosyphons. Heat pipes are a type of enhanced heat transfer device that uses a continuous cycle of boiling and condensing of a fluid to transfer heat at a […]

This project will establish the framework to extract and transform clinical data into a research dataset to conduct world-leading Comparative Effectiveness Research (CER) around concussion. The research and analyses from this dataset will inform patient care for patients with concussion and answer key questions that have healthcare and policy implications for concussion management. The framework […]

Earthquakes pose significant risks to many Canadian homeowners in British Columbia, Quebec, and Eastern Ontario. Many homeowners in these regions have not purchased earthquake insurance for their homes, and recent surveys suggest that most Quebec homeowners are unaware that earthquake loss is not covered in their general insurance plans. If a devastating earthquake were to […]

Aircraft Pilot Coupling (APC) may arise when airframe structural modes encroach into the frequency range of human senses, biodynamics and control, which is becoming more relevant given the increasingly flexible and optimized airframes of next-generation aircraft. The phenomenon is characterized by oscillations sensed by the aircraft crew and passengers that negatively impact the ride quality. […]

Businesses are collecting more and more data, but they do not have the manpower to properly analyse it. This project will implement a proof of concept for a system that uses machine learning to improve the detection of cyber threats. The machine learning algorithm will receive information from many different data sources, detect where there […]

The intent of this project is to reduce the cycle time in the vehicle repair process across the Carstar network. The project also includes developing process models that will help in guiding Carstar to reduce cycle time in major process steps for all stores of varying size and disparate locations. During the process of investigation […]

Speed is incredibly important when addressing issues with computer security. The longer the time between the attack’s start and resolution, the more assets that attackers can steal from a company. There are various security platforms that can alert a company to a cyber-attack. This research project aims to combine knowledge from all these platforms together […]

For organizations that use the Internet, their employees will visit thousands of websites every day. However, there is a chance that the destination website is not safe to visit. Such websites may be fraudulent, phishing, or even data-stealing related. On the other hand, determining if the target website link is suspicious or not could help […]

In the recent technological age, new threats and attacks emerge nearly every day. It might be against everyone on the internet or targeted towards specific organizations and individuals. Attackers have begun to use highly sophisticated techniques and technologies to attain their objectives. It’s a high time, the defenders scale up to defending their infrastructure against […]

Phishing emails are a common form of a cyber attack. Attackers use leading content to fraud victims, such as fake banking information, forged Google Alert messages, and so on. Phishing attacks have been around for years, causing countless serious consequences, such as financial losses and confidential documents leaks. As of now, there is still no […]
