People living with IBD, grave and lifelong disease, have gut damage and pain. Fibers can improve gut health in healthy people, but they are not digested in the gut. Instead, they are broken down by gut microorganisms (bacteria and fungi) in a process called fermentation. But the types and amounts of gut microbes in IBD […]

Different industries have widely employed condition monitoring to evaluate their system’s health. For gas turbines, current methods have limitations related to certain operating and environmental conditions and are mainly based on supervised approaches requiring annotated data that is hard to acquire. This project will focus on developing an unsupervised anomaly detection mechanism that alarms users […]

The Smart Vertical Farming project will utilize smart sensor technologies and advanced computing to optimize indoor growing conditions for plants. Researchers will monitor inputs such as fertilizer levels, soil conditions, lighting, temperature, humidity and CO2 levels in real-time and make correlations to the plant growth using cameras to measure foliage density, colour and health. Advanced […]

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are cryptographic assets on a blockchain with unique identification codes and metadata that distinguish them from each other. Due to its vast usability in different industries, such as gaming, real estate, and art, many professionals believe it will be the future of trading. However, like any other new technology, it has issues […]

Empathy is important to therapeutic relationships and patient-centred care where patients’ preferences and needs are met. We have developed a web browser app called In Your Shoes (IYS) that runs on any browser and has potential to provide empathy training experiences in any situation requiring perceptual understanding of what others are thinking and feeling. The […]

Accessibility and availability are major factors of an effective health care system. Though Canadians have free access to medically necessary services, there are accessibility issues at primary care clinics such as long wait times, language barriers for new immigrants, lack of proper information about clinics and doctors, and so on. Waiting for a primary healthcare […]

Réingénierie des plateformes de rapports marketing et d’alertes intelligentes. Entre autres ajout de nouvelle fonctionnalité quant à l’édition de widgets, mais surtout une toute nouvelle version de l’éditeur de widget de la plateforme.

As Canada’s economy and population continue to rise, primarily due to substantial immigration, there is an urgent need for new infrastructure, in particular, in remote regions of Canada. This can be achieved through advanced technologies to improve productivity of the Canadian construction industry while reducing the environmental impact of construction. This project proposes the Self-Deployable […]

Infrastructure facilities in Canada and many other places worldwide continuously deteriorate. Most structures either reached or exceeded their design service life. Bridges, buildings, roads, and other facilities deteriorate over time. To ensure the safety of these structures, visual inspections are routinely carried out by trained engineers. However, these visual inspections have some critical disadvantages, such […]

Due to modification ease, cost, and time-saving benefits, computational-based methods through the use of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software programs is the main approach besides physical testing (accelerated durability laboratory test, in-service drive tests) for evaluating the life of welded structures in several industries. Based on guaranteed functionality, integrity, and life cycle robustness requirements in […]

Rural homelessness in Canada is still an ongoing problem that the country is trying to address. Most of Canada’s indigenous families in remote communities are living in substandard housing that needs major repairs. 3D printing of cementitious material to digitally construct building structures has already gained considerable attention from both the public and private sectors. […]

The proposed research project would focus on the development of high-value carbon fibers from low-value waste by-products, asphaltenes, for multifunctional applications. One part of the program would highlight the efforts to scale up the technology without deteriorating the process performance. The other part of the program would focus on working with North Forge in the […]
