In this proposal, we intend to answer how infrastructure sensors can be used for autonomous driving. Using infrastructure sensors make automated driving safer, more simplified, and cost effective especially for multiple autonomous vehicles operating in known environments such as large residential/commercial complexes and resorts. Infrastructure sensors replace the main onboard vehicle perception sensors with infrastructure […]

The Atlantic Policy Congress of First Nations Chiefs Secretariat’s (APC) Fisheries and Integrated Resources Department is responsible for research, analysis, and development of policy altneratives and programs for all aspects of fisheries for their member communities. This research project examines the role of Indigenous principles for resource management in the fisheries operations of Indigenous communities […]

The Indian Residential School Settlement Agreement and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission have transformed healing, health and wellbeing services for Indigenous peoples who attended residential and their descendants. Working with the frontline health workers who provide the Resolution Health Support Program and the Non-Insured Health Benefits Navigator Program, this research maps the successes and challenges […]

This project aims to challenge unjust systems and policies and support Indigenous people in their efforts to establish their food systems and adapt to the new CV-19 world. It will explore ways to address long-term pandemic-related food security challenges led by Indigenous organizations. The intern will gather information from experiences and existing research across Indigenous […]

Pharmaceutical platform technology (PPT) was invented by Sinoveda Inc., the partner organization, to accomplish the tasks of identification, purification, and activity determination for the active ingredients of natural herbal remedies, with the goal of developing and optimizing the remedies. However, two issues remain to be tackled in the PPT process: first, there is as yet […]

Le fleuve Negro est caractérisé par de grandes fluctuations saisonnières du niveau de l’eau allant jusqu’à 15 m. Cette dynamique saisonnière est connue pour avoir un impact majeur sur le comportement des poissons et sur leur exploitation par les Ribeirinhos – tribus traditionnelles amazoniennes. Entre autres, certaines études ont détecté une plus grande prévalence d’infection […]

The objective of this strategic project is to define investor and customer value propositions of a new AI-powered offer and a business model for a commercial environment disrupted by COVID-19. The new offer integrates signals from plants’ photos and thermal images with a controller that regulates the flow of food and water administered to the […]

Le reboisement résineux est une importante activité dans l’est du Canada. Bien que plusieurs études se soient intéressées aux interactions feuillus-résineux lors de l’établissement des plantations, peu d’études ont évalué celles-ci dans les peuplements intermédiaires. Dans cette étude, nous utilisons un indice de compétition du voisinage (NCI) afin de qualifier et quantifier les interactions feuillus-résineux […]

Protein Industries Canada is a member based organization that serves not only the base of 240 current members, but also an extended ecosystem of contacts, connections and stakeholders. Much of our value proposition is deep knowledge of that membership base and the extended ecosystem. This knowledge drives research collaboration, capacity building activities, gap identification and […]

Within the Canadian context, poultry farmers are constrained by regulations that predetermine chicken prices and market supply. As a result, they are limited in the approaches they can take to improve the profitability of their operations. Within this regulatory framework, farmers must rely on measures that can be applied on their farms to improve chicken’s […]

Reproductive Longevity (RL) is a complex biological trait under the control of many genes. In livestock, RL of female breeders is a key productivity factor, especially for dairy cows. The genes that determine RL in humans are potential sources of diagnostic and therapeutic innovations for fertility and reproductive health. The proposed research aims to identify […]

The proposed research will explore opportunities in measuring spatial variability in soil, water and topography within potato fields. Addressing this variability by doing site specific application of inputs such as fertilizer, crop protectant and seed can help to increase environmental sustainability and economic viability in potato production. This research will help develop new applications for […]
