The research proposed here aims to develop methods to increase the flight time of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) using atmospheric energy in the form of rising air thermals, as is often done by glider pilots. This would allow UAVs to rely less on their onboard motor and reduce the amount of energy consumed during flight. […]

This study will, through a survey of the Incubator members of the National Angel Capital Organization (NACO) establish a baseline for Incubator activity in Canada and examine the impct that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on both incubators and their member startups and assess to what degree changes caused by the pandemic may have long-lasting […]

To assess people’s risk of contracting Lyme disease in New Brunswick we will test 700 dogs for antibodies to the bacterium that causes the disease. Lyme disease is caused by infection with the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi, generally transmitted through a tick bite. Lyme disease is a debilitating disease and the risk of contracting it is […]

This proposed research will evaluate changes to ecosystem composition and configuration in the subalpine and alpine zones from the recent unprecedented outbreak of MPB in Jasper National Park (JNP), Alberta. New extended time-series data and innovative spatial assessments will be used to consider the impact of novel disturbances on species-at-risk, including whitebark pine, limber pine, […]

DECAP’s market, which is needle safety devices, has few competitors with little to no online presence. Market data on these products is difficult to find, or non-existent. The intern will be conducting marketing activities including SEO, Advertising, Digital Marketing, and Marketing Research, and will be responsible for creation of all components for these activities. The […]

This research investigates how a neighbourhood in London, Ontario may be designed to be both sustainable and resilient, where “resilient” means capable of dealing with future shocks and stresses. One major future shock/stress will be climate change impacts, such as extreme temperature or precipitation. This research will also conduct preliminary energy modelling of a simplified […]

Organic compounds in water can be potentially hazardous. We will develop a green and solvent-free method for screening the organic pollutants in different water samples. Also, we will study the changes in water during the different treatment process. This research will benefit the community and provide a protection protocol.

Information and data are more accessible and abundant than ever before, but this presents challenges in the face of rising misinformation and mistrust in science. Large-scale datasets or “big data” is particularly suited to a set of statistical analyses called dimension reduction techniques that can reduce the complexity of a dataset while preserving its information, […]

Entity (person or company) matching is an advanced analytics feature used to link entities together by identifying them as being the same entity or closely related entities. This is a powerful feature to augment investigations with additional entities that may be involved in a suspicious case. The goal is to uncover key features that can […]

Dans ce projet, nous proposons la simulation et l’intégration de système de distribution pour le système transactionnel afin d’apprendre et tester les différents algorithmes et approches de coordination et de contrôle décentralisés sur les échanges entre les agents, comprendre les contraintes techniques et les bloqueurs, et définir les enjeux d’intégration des RED dans le réseau […]

Raising the Grade is an innovative after-school program launched last year by the Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada (BGCC) in 35 clubs across Canada. Through the use of online learning tools, mentorship, and the early promise of a scholarship, the program hopes to engage youth at risk of dropping out of high school and […]
