PACICC role is to compensate policyholders in scenarios where a P&C insurer can no longer provide compensation while overseeing the health of the P&C industry in Canada. The proposed project aims to improve PACICC’s ability to identity companies at risk of insolvency and improve strategies to minimize dead weight loss when insolvency is imminent. The […]

There are currently no practical-economical repair methods for many aerospace parts made of aluminum/titanium. The Cold Spray technology produces metal coatings by accelerating metal powders onto the substrate to be coated using high velocity jet at supersonic speeds. Upon impact the particles plastically deform and produce a dense coating. Metals such as aluminum/titanium can be […]

MURBs are responsible for approximately 20% of residential energy consumption and are as energy intensive as single family homes (on a kWh/m2 floor area basis). The energy performance of MURBs, combined with an overall aging of the stock, is beginning to result in more effort on the part of industry and government to develop measures […]

Natural channel design practices are continually evolving, but monitoring the performance and success of these urban river engineering projects is often limited to sparse point measurements of streamflow, stream morphology, and species inventories during the 2 – 5 years following construction. The result is relatively few data on the overall performance of natural channel design […]

The UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples has established the right to free, prior and informed consent (FPIC) as an international standard. This right is especially important regarding the use of Indigenous peoples’ lands and resources by the extractive industry. Currently there is no common understanding about how this standard should be applied […]

Current Heavy Rare Earth Element (HREE) processing techniques are expensive, environmentally-challenging, and slow. Kinetic models predict that the rate of acid permeation of a mineral is the rate controlling step. Therefore, permeation rate controls the acid quantity and residency time of the mineral in the acid bath; impacting costs. Kinetic models are based on structural […]

Substitution of existing diesel buses by zero-emission propulsion technologies (electric batteries and hydrogen fuel cell) in vehicles – specifically public transit fleets – can play an instrumental role in realizing Canada’s obligation towards green house gas emission reduction. It is imperative to enable transit agencies to assess the capabilities of existing technology variants in meeting […]

Haematococcus pluvialis is a green microalga that concentrates the compound astaxanthin, a commercial product with nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, aquaculture, and food applications. Astaxanthin is a carotenoid pigment with high antioxidative activity, used as a feed additive to provide a characteristic pink color to salmonids and shrimp, as well as a human nutraceutical providing protection from […]

Computer administrators defend enterprises using tools that do not scale to the size of modem networks. As a result, malicious behavior in enterprise networks generally is W1detected, even when attackers do not attempt to be stealthy. One way to improve this situation may be through the application of social network analysis to the computer sectrrity […]
