Using inertial measurement units (IMUs) has been one of the main techniques for indoor localization. In many cases, this type of methods uses accelerometer, gyroscope, and/or magnetometer that are available in commercial mobile devices, such as smart phone. One main advantage of using this type of techniques is that no separate infrastructure deployment is needed. […]

Navigation at sea is a complex and comprehensive task. Combined with the challenges of navigating in heavy traffic, and avoiding dangers in low light and low visibility, it becomes considerably more difficult. This project, bridgeVUE, leverages an emerging technology to enhance marine navigation by contextualizing radar data over an individual’s field of vision, in real […]

Virtual Consulting Co is providing an online platform to allow for pharmacists to perform virtual consults while working with central fill pharmacies to deliver medications to patients. The company needs a review of the various legal and professional standards across provinces in Canada and the various states in the US. Based on this review, the […]

The pro€iuGtion. capacity of the Kraft process is one of the important measures in the pulp and paper industry. A promising method for increasing the production capacity of the Kraft process is to lower the load of the recovery boiler by means of extracting lignin from the black liquor (BL). One of the sustainable methods […]

The purpose of this project is to investigate long-term forecasting of optical quality of transmission (QoT) based on deep neural networks (DNNs). QoT refers to the properties of the optical channel such as signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), which define the level of service provided by the optical channel. DNNs are a compelling technology, but their usability […]

Integrated lignin biorefineries present opportunities to increase the profitability of Kraft pulp mills through the diversification of product portfolio and improved sustainability. The purpose of this work is to develop optimized lignin biorefinery designs, which would be integrated into a Kraft pulp mill. A methodology combining process simulation, analysis and synthesis is proposed to achieve […]

SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for the current COVID-19 pandemic, displays a coronashaped layer of spikes which play fundamental role in the infection process. Recent structural data suggest that the spikes possess orientational freedom and the ribonucleoproteins segregate into basketlike structures. How these structural features regulate the dynamic and mechanical behavior of the native virion, however, […]

Microorganisms living in marine seafloor sediments are of scientific interest for many reasons including their role in cycling nutrients, their metabolic diversity, and the relatively few investigations of their existence due to their habitation of such an extreme and isolated environment. In addition, subsurface microbes can provide insight into their surrounding environment, including signalling the […]

The focus of this project is on building performance evaluation (BPE) in residential houses in Southern Ontario. Eight green homes will undergo BPE to see how well they are performing. The project will compare current building performance to the designed building performance. This comparison can help to see whether a “performance gap” exists. A performance […]
