The long-term effects of climate change and outbreaks of mountain pine beetle (MPB) on forests in western Canada are not well understood. In this project, we will develop quantitative models to assess the impacts of climate change and forest resilience on MPB outbreaks and persistence in forests. These models will be informed by the MPB […]

Carbon dioxide generated by burning fossil fuels is one of the major greenhouse gases responsible for the climate change. There is a world-wide effort to reduce the emission of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. In addition to renewable resources such as solar and wind power, hydrogen is emerging as a green energy source. The energy […]

Le but du projet est de développer une méthode de gestion thermique des batteries d’un robot à propulsion électrique pour l’inspection de stations électriques. Ce véhicule devrait diminuer l’intervention humaine dans les sites éloignés, en faisant de l’inspection contrôlée à distance. Un défi majeur de ce type de véhicule est la capacité de stocker de […]

We want to learn about the video game “Get Water!” at the Linden School for Girls in Toronto with students between the ages of 10 – 14, from their perspective. This research will involve their teachers and parents as co-researchers who will be asked to keep a journal for two weeks about anything the girls […]

Le but de ce projet consiste à automatiser les mesures acoustiques dans un bâtiment à l’aide d’un robot mobile qui se déplace de manière autonome à semi-autonome d’une position de mesures à l’autre et déclenche de lui-même ces mesures à l’aide d’un sonomètre relié à un microphone. Le projet de recherche consiste à développer la […]

The collection of baseline data on marine mammal use of tidal energy sites prior to Tidal In stream Energy Conversion (TISEC) deployments is considered vital in any subsequent post-deployment assessment of changes in marine mammal activity levels or spatial use. The proposed project involves the deployment of passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) devices (hydrophones) for an […]

Metal nanoparticles are increasingly used in cosmetics, food packaging, textiles, toothpaste, and other ubiquitous products. Yet, their impact on our environment, food, and health is largely unknown because measuring nanoparticles in environmental and biological systems is very difficult. Similarly, measuring the uptake of metal-containing drugs by cells to develop smart therapeutics targeting tumors is also […]

To design and produce better materials for construction and manufacturing, as well as discover new and improved drugs, scientists need to be able to predict properties of molecules or crystalline solids – ideally, before they are made in the lab. At the atomic level, these properties are governed by quantum mechanics, which makes the prediction […]

IATA Aviation Safety Culture survey (I-ASC) is an employee survey aimed at providing the airlines with the means to meet the Safety Management Systems (SMS) requirement to measure and continuously improve their safety culture. The intent of the survey is to gain insights on organizational safety culture, identify areas of improvement and areas of excellence. […]

Four leagues, the NFL, NHL, NBA and MLB, dominate professional sport in North America. One of the disparities between all four leagues is the number of regular season games played, or for the purpose of this study competition time. There are also large differences between league revenues and thus the study will examine if there […]

Remote Indigenous communities governed by Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation (PBCN) will be engaged in a multi-criteria geospatial evaluation. The focus of the internships is to research the factors that can constrain and enable renewable energy (RE) development in the communities. The geospatial assessment will be based on structured cartographic modelling and map overlays that are […]

Saguaro Technologies est une entreprise qui oeuvre dans le domaine de la recherche pré-clinique. Elle vise à commercialiser une panoplie de produits de recherche innovants qui permettront à ses utilisateurs de mieux prédire le comportement des cellules humaines avant même de tester leurs produits en clinique. Un de ces produits, nommé ChromaLive, est un marqueur […]
