Tuskhub is a growth consultancy that specializes in helping purpose-driven start-ups and scale-ups in various industries. While we’ve had success through word-of-mouth recommendations, we’re now seeking to expand our client base and attract new business. However, we lack a proven process to accomplish this goal. Therefore, this project aims to create an innovative process that […]

Video Games require a vast array of different computations to present the desired experience. These computations must be completed consistently to make the software responsive to the user. The industry trend towards many separate processors (multi-core) in the same physical device and the emergence of network based ‘cloud’ computing have created many opportunities, but also […]

This research will inform the co-governance arrangements for the Syilx-led klusxnitk? (Okanagan Lake) Responsibility Plan by exploring the praxis of ethical space in the development and implementation of the plan, and focusing on two themes: worldviews and knowledge systems. The proposed MITACS grant involves researching and developing an ethical space framework for cross-cultural collaboration in […]

In recent years, increasing attention has been directed to “natural climate solutions” (NCS). In practice, Indigenous Peoples have been implementing NCS for millennia through sustainable land stewardship. Recent collaborative research with Wahkohtowin Development GP Inc. explored the question: what opportunities could NCS enable, including and beyond carbon sequestration, if rooted in Indigenous guardianship? The exploratory […]

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a safe and effective tool for imaging patients without implanted medical devices. However, implants can negatively interact with MRI scanners, which sometimes earns the patient a ban on MRI because their implant is deemed unsafe. Orthopedic implants (e.g., plates, screws, and nails) often heat up during MRI, so they must […]

Mood disorders, including depression and bipolar disorder, represent a common and severe group of mental illnesses. Poor eating behaviors contribute to worsened symptoms and quality of life in these patient populations, but this aspect is not adequately addressed in clinical care. Previous work characterized six groups of eating behaviors in mood disorders, including low appetite, […]

We will use several databases from Canada and the USA which hold more than 30 years of scientific survey and citizen-science observations of common loon breeding on lakes across eastern and central North America, to determine regional population trajectories and evaluate what threats or factors might explain variation in reproductive success. We will also focus […]

Le projet s’inscrit dans le plan d’action du Nouveau-Brunswick d’atténuation des impacts de la hausse du niveau marin, des ondes de tempête et de l’érosion sur les localités côtières de la province. Les infrastructures côtières comme les bâtiments et les routes auront un risque accru d’inondation parce que la mer sera de plus en plus […]

Hydrogen fuel is currently being explored as a replacement for diesel, which is heavily relied upon for long-haul transportation. The benefits of hydrogen fuel include carbon-free emissions (US Department of Energy, n.d.) and quick refueling (FuelCellWorks, 2021). There are logistical and financial issues with transportation and storage of hydrogen, and using green, dispatchable energy for […]

Stream ecosystems and organisms that live within them can be impacted by human activities on the surrounding land. Detailed knowledge of which human activities influence stream ecosystems and their biological communities and how they impact them is important to watershed planners for developing effective management strategies. Aquatic ecosystems in the North Saskatchewan River basin are […]

The objective of this project is to investigate the relationship between habitat restoration activities and the biological outcomes of fish communities in the Humber River, Ontario, with a specific focus on outcomes for the endangered Redside Dace. We will evaluate landscape and instream habitat parameters among restored and not-restored sites to determine the effectiveness of […]

A significant part of urban areas are used by parking spaces that facilitate single car use while contributing to heat island effects and rainwater management challenges. Traditional parking management strategies have not been able to address the environmental and quality of living aspects in cites. The main purpose of this project is to provide a […]
