In the modern period of the Industrial Revolution, enormous emphasis is placed on green technology, including zero or less waste production, recycling resources, and using recyclable raw materials. According to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals for a peaceful and flourishing world, materials science research focuses on recovering techniques and proper waste control are essential to […]

Incorporating renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar farms, have posed a challenge to electrical engineers due to their intermittent nature as the time and amount of energy generated depends on the weather. For this reason, grid stability and predicting the behaviour of renewables has been increasingly more important. In this study, we propose […]

This project will train a Master’s geology student to use a variety of geological and geophysical datasets and concepts to define the stratigraphic architecture of deeply buried sandstones used for CO2 sequestration at the Aquistore site in Saskatchewan. The extent to which these sandstones form a single continuous body, or are compartmentalized, will affect their […]

The fast-growing market demand for food products with high nutritional qualities requires innovative and sustainable technologies. The proposed process employs an electrostatic technique to selectively charge proteins, carbohydrates, fibers, and other components in the bean flour and separate them based on the magnitude and type of their charge. The proposed methodology produces protein-rich flour from […]

The gut microbiota comprises all bacteria inhabiting the intestines and has been shown to play a significant role in both health and disease. Although previously overlooked, new research shows that both the gut microbiota and their metabolites may influence exercise performance. Probiotic supplementation has been shown to have a small but significant positive effect on […]

One of the greatest challenges in monetizing forest carbon for climate change mitigation (i.e. carbon offsets) is in understanding the different carbon “pools”, and being able to accurately quantify them. The soil carbon pool is perhaps the greatest pool of forest carbon, and poorly understood. The objective of this project is to design a forest […]

En septembre 2022, le gouvernement canadien a annoncé la mise en place du programme d’évaluation post-commercialisation des médicaments. Ce nouveau programme permettra aux organismes gouvernementaux de l’industrie pharmaceutique tel l’Agence Canadienne des médicaments et des technologies de la santé (ACMTS), d’inclure les données probantes du monde réel à leur évaluation des médicaments. Les données probantes […]

Psoriasis is a chronic auto-immune disease affecting 1 million Canadians which presents as scaly red patches on skin. For the people affected, quick access to therapies is essential. However, it can be a challenge, especially in the presence of reimbursement barriers. In Canadian healthcare, public drug plans often have barriers such as criteria. Criteria can […]

Animating dense crowds is essential for creating immersive experiences in game design. However, the technology driving it has seen surprisingly limited evolution since the major breakthroughs in games like Grand Theft Auto V and Assassin’s Creed: Unity, almost ten years ago. Recognizing this, our industrial partner, CD PROJEKT RED, has identified crowd dynamics as a […]

Imagine a world where youth with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) and mental health concerns can access tailored mental health services with ease. Collaborating with Sunnybrook Hospital, this research aims to make this a reality by addressing the challenges faced by transitional aged youth with IDD’s through a family focused navigation approach. Family Navigators are […]

Certains aspects du travail et de l’organisation, comme le harcèlement et la charge de travail élevée, constituent des « risques psychosociaux du travail » (RPS) qui peuvent nuire à la santé psychologique et conduire à l’absentéisme. Des « facteurs de protection » peuvent réduire ces effets néfastes des RPS. Les connaissances actuelles ne permettent pas […]

Ce projet a pour objectif de développer un système d’intelligence artificielle avancé capable de détecter et de classifier les baleines dans des images capturées par un drone équipé d’une caméra thermique. Pour atteindre cet objectif, il utilise des techniques de pointe telles que les réseaux neuronaux convolutionnels (CNN), la segmentation d’images, l’extraction de caractéristiques et […]
