The objective of the proposed internship is to help support the launch of Phase 2 of an app created by ParticipACTION, Canada’s leading non-profit physical activity organization. The goal of the free app is to motivate inactive Canadians to sit less and move more. This will entail liaising with key experts and organizations in the […]

For profit companies can exercise influence over public politics: Advertisers withdraw funds from media programs and media outlets, companies move service centres and offices, companies stop providing services to certain clients. This research will perform a series of comparative case studies, using publicly available commercial communication and interviews with industry professionals to understand how for-profit […]

This project aims to conduct a comprehensive review of existing power line (PL) data processing procedure used in practice and to design and develop the new automatic workflow by integrating start-of-the-art algorithms with current data processing chain. This leads to the establishment of an innovative framework on automatic PL feature detection and reconstruction from LiDAR […]

Cohesys is developing a surgical tape indicated for stabilizing fractures to the face and cranium. In order for a tape to function inside the body, the adhesive must be non-toxic and be able to adhere and maintain strength overtime, in an environment which is wet, filled with proteins and other molecules and be able to […]

This project aims at solving the difficult problems faced by indoor positioning and related issues, which are part of the future development direction. For different positioning environments and positioning requests, the project will explore the corresponding positioning schemes, conversion mechanism sand switching strategies. The project will use the geomagnetic-based technology that does not require additional […]

IBM QRadar needs to be able to categorize events generated by hundreds of different network devices in order to function as a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM). This categorization is currently a manual process and our aim is to automate this task. We have a database of over 579,000 events coming from over 300 […]

Prescribed fire and mechanical removal of woody vegetation have become popular disturbance methods for restoring globally rare alvar and grassland habitats that support many species at risk, such as reptiles. However, the effects that these restoration efforts have on rare reptiles is largely unknown. This study will identify alterations in habitat usage of endangered snake […]

This project aims to develop a pneumatic (compressed air) powertrain to be used in a 40-feet bus for municipal transit and school buses. Since the transportation sector is one of the prior contributors of Canada’s GHG emissions ( 24%), any alternative solutions to conventional vehicles carries significant importance to reach the GHG target that Canada […]

Humans have a finite capacity for hard exercise. Sports scientists can mathematically determine this capacity by using multiple tests to exhaustion at different exercise intensities and looking at the relationship. However, the current testing protocols assume that once the initial point of fatigue is reached, exercise must be stopped. In the proposed study, we aim […]

Analyzing customer behavioral patterns and attrition aids organizations in understanding its core customers and improve its decision-making processes in regards to customer attrition and targeted marketing. In this research project, we will develop behavioural analytics super network models and algorithms for behavioural customer segmentation and attrition prediction in the presence of big data. Our models […]

Introduced Phragmites australis (common reed) is considered one of the most invasive plants in North America. European genotypes spread widely and can form dense stands with undesirable ecological impacts. Conventional management approaches have proved largely ineffective, leaving classical biocontrol (i.e., introducing herbivores of the plant from its native range) as the most promising alternative. The […]

Wollastonite(CaSiO3) and diopside(CaMgSi2O6) are silicate minerals occurring in the mining operation near Kingston. Quantity of each mineral in the deposit vary from 30 to 40%. An efficient separation of wollastonite from diopside represents a challenge in processing this ore. Efficiency of flotation separation at high levels diopside is not consistent since both silicates respond the […]
