Farmland covers 6.8% of the surface area of Canada and hosts 313 species of birds, or 69% of all breeding bird species, and Canadian farmland overlaps with the range of 90% of our species at risk. Aerial insectivores including birds and bats are common in these areas and are declining at an alarming rate. Simplification […]

The pollination performed by honey bees is estimated to contribute annually ~$4 billion to Canadian agriculture. Unfortunately, high colony death rates have been repeatedly reported by beekeepers. Infectious diseases (e.g. Varroa, Nosema, American foulbrood [AFB] and European foulbrood [EFB]) are important causes of honey bee mortality. AFB and EFB are the most important bacterial diseases […]

Restoration practitioners and Indigenous communities have a vested interest in understanding how to promote healthy resilience ecosystems following anthropogenic disturbance. Working together our goal is to develop effective eco-restoration practices on Indigenous territories through a co-production process. Reconciliation requires new ways of conducting natural science and the rigorous application of both Indigenous knowledge and Western […]

Energy storage can help address the intermittency of renewable energies (such as solar and wind power). Different methods were developed to store energy for later uses. D’Arcy Mann, the founder of TESS Research Ltd., developed a method of high temperature thermal storage that would allow surplus power from renewables to be input year-round and given […]

In today’s world, the video chat and conferencing has been a necessary part of overall routine life (both personal and work). Currently, the video chat and broadcast technologies require lots of bandwidth to transmit high quality data. In overall project, we aim to make video transmission data intelligent by using the state-of-the-art AI technology. This […]

The COVID-19 pandemic is the greatest public health disaster in over a century resulting in the death of nearly 6 million people world-wide. The virus has evolved over the last two years to highly transmissible variants, outpacing our efforts to contain it by mass vaccination. Effective drugs that can curtail the infection at early stages, […]

Canada’s $9.6B pulp industry produces an ample supply of unusable organic pulp mill residues, yet there has been relatively limited utilization of this feedstock for the production of bio-crude through hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) – a low-temperature, high-pressure thermolytic conversion process. The proposed research project will investigate HTL catalysts that produce abundant, high-quality, and low-cost bio-crude […]

The CXN360 service by Ag Exchange Group (https://cxn360.ca) is an online grain marketing service that allows grain buyers to make offers to purchase grain commodities and allows grain growers to make offers to sell grain commodities. CXN360 currently services the Canadian Prairies and Ag Exchange Group plans to extend the service into international markets and […]

The three Film students will research how to capture and package live performance in video format, how to make it appealing to a range of audiences and how to disseminate it cost effectively in the digital environment. The Business student will develop a sustainable business plan and marketing strategy for On Cue as it navigates […]

The insurance industry is a competitive sector that is expected to account for 3.1 percent of Canada’s Gross Domestic Product in 2021. Leading insurers are investigating how machine learning (ML) may enhance company operations and customer satisfaction as clients become more selective about personalizing their insurance purchases to their particular needs. AI chatbots have the […]

A series of pressure-volume-temperature (PVT) tests and large-scale physical experiments of the hybrid solvent-enhanced SAGD process will be carried out and simulated to better understand the process physics and bitumen recovery mechanisms, which will help Imperial make reliable predictions with the upscaling potential for quickly commercial field applications. This project will be conducted both in […]
