Graphics processing units (GPUs) are becoming very attractive for scientific applications targeting high performance Many application software have gained massive speedup factors by integrating GPU support, in particular in numerical computing. Symbolic computation is also entering the area of many-core computing but the use of GPUs in the major computer algebra systems (MAPLE, Mathematica) is […]

As part of reforms to the regulations governing Canadian banks, new rules governing the capital to be set aside for market risk have been proposed, termed the Fundamental Review of the Trading Book (FRTB). With the new rules, some Canadian banks will move to calculating capital requirements using a regulatory Standardized Approach. The goal of […]

There is growing concern that COVID-19 has neuroinflammatory effects which can have acute or sustained impacts on cognition. Tablet-based games can be used to monitor cognition in medical settings but have not been validated as measures of brain function. The current project will administer a suite of tablet-based measures of cognition as images of the […]

In a broad sense, this research project intends to expand the use of the recycled ru bber (also referred as reclaimed rubber or devulcanized rubber) prepared from waste tires. A new technology has been developed in our lab that leads to preparation of high quality reclaimed rubber (also called devulcanized rubber) in a very simple […]

We do not have Standard Operating Procedures, and in the Strategic Plan this has been identified as a critically important need. What if a team member does not come back from layoff? What if they get sick with COVID-19 and need to be off even longer? This is a critical priority yet with a limited […]

Climate change is one of the greatest challenge society has ever faced, with increasingly severe consequences for humanity. Climate change also creates risks to both the safety and soundness of the individual firms and to the stability of the financial system. This will be felt both in the cost of direct losses to climate events, […]

The project aims to understand and support Canadian wheelchair curling leaders (i.e., coaches, athletes, and sport administrators) to return to sport and mitigate the impact of COVID-19 pandemic. Bringing coaches together virtually and educating them to provide athlete support remotely can have a positive effect on the sport landscape post-pandemic. The intern will identify the […]

Le projet vise à décrire le vécu des personnes sourdes et malentendantes de l’Outaouais lors de situations d’urgence comme les pandémies ou les catastrophes naturelles, et de proposer des interventions pour répondre à leur besoins. Il se fait en partenariat avec l’Association de l’ouïe de l’Outaouais qui le seul organisme reconnu par le gouvernement du […]

The coronavirus disease, COVID-19, has rapidly changed the way we live and work. Across Canada, many non-essential workplaces were directed to suspend normal operations and, though the pandemic continues, these restrictions are slowly being lifted, and workers are returning to work. Workers, employers, unions, and policy makers need guidance on how to best reduce exposure […]

The coronavirus crisis has disrupted the social and economic fabric of communities around the world. This has profound implications for the sustainability and innovation challenges those communities are facing, and for the higher education institutions and professional educational businesses who have missions to prepare and support those communities to tackle those challenges. This research will […]

A textile-based solution to remotely and continuously monitor COVID-19 symptoms Myant proposes to create a wearable textile solution with a compact electronic module able to record ECG, breathing movements, chest motion and sound, skin temperature, and blood pulse (oximetry and pulse shape to estimate blood pressure) in order to monitor key physiological metrics for individuals […]

The closure of schools across Canada during the COVID-19 pandemic has revealed significant gaps in educational provision. In addition, K-12 teachers have had difficulty finding learning resources related to the programs they are responsible for teaching. When students fall behind in school, they develop a learning gap with their peers. Learning gaps are relatively common […]
