Peregrine falcons (Falco peregrinus) and rough-legged hawks (Buteo lagops) breed throughout the Canadian Arctic. Several monitoring programs were established in the 1970’s and 1980’s to evaluate the recovery of these and other raptors following the banning of DDT. DDT is a pesticide that was once widely used, but resulted in severe population declines in many […]

Le projet de recherche tente de réduire l’impact de l’absentéisme et des arrêts de travail (chez le personnel de soins) sur la qualité des services proposés dans les hôpitaux. Pour cela, des emplois du temps optimisés seront générés à l’aide de nouveaux indicateurs. Ces indicateurs seront créés avec des algorithmes issus de l’intelligence artificielle à […]

In this project, we design and develop a big data analytics system, which is expected to support the advancement in the state-of-the-art in modeling the dynamic risks associated to emergency responders being delayed at active rail crossings. The model will be used to show risk within cities and support prescribed solutions to mitigate the impacts. […]

Maplesoft markets Maple, the world’s premier symbolic mathematics processor, used extensively in education, research, and industry, and Maple T.A. (Testing and Assessment) a powerful online testing environment. The proposed project focuses on development of and research on educational applications of the software. Course content will be developed using Maple and Maple T.A. for core university […]

There is an urging need to enhance the market competitiveness of the fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) material as an alternative to conventional steel and concrete materials in building retrofit projects in Canada due to the reduced life-cycle cost of the former. Optimizing the design of FRP reinforcement is a key element toward increasing the market […]

In 2016, Magna Corporate has partnered with Exonetik to develop multiple prototypes of active seat suspension which were used for market validation and technical feasibility investigation. In June 2019, Magna Seating officially launched a research and development program to bring the active seat suspension to production in July 2021. The objective of this applied research […]

Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are anthropogenic compounds with unique properties and wide applications. The consequence of using such persistent chemicals is widespread contamination reported for groundwater, soil, sediment, and wastewater, especially in industrialized countries such as Canada. The endocrine-disrupting and likely carcinogenic nature of PFAS have resulted in strict regulations on PFAS in drinking […]

Risk evaluation is a crucial aspect of Unmanned Traffic Management (UTM) systems. Risk is calculated for missions involving unmanned systems and includes numerous factors from both ground and air risks. Currently, the risk evaluation and calculation for a mission is done by hand and based on estimations. Furthermore, the final calculated risk for a mission […]

Coveo provides search and recommendation software for customer support systems in which customers can ask for help by entering a case description and, on the other side, support agents must find the solution. In this context, queries to Coveo are in the form of long texts describing a problem and potential solutions are knowledge articles […]

This project is about a novel chip-based wireless power transfer system. Its integrated and flexible design eliminates the need for power cables for any DC device in homes, offices, parkades and power generating facilities. Unlike existing solutions, the system operates simultaneously with multi electricity requirement devices, has extended range, generates no heat, can transfer power […]

Dans notre société numérique connectée, l’équipement électronique consomme une quantité importante d’énergie, dont environ la moitié est dédiée au refroidissement essentiel pour le maintien des performances. Le but du projet ‘STREAMS Plus’ est de développer une solution de gestion thermique adaptative pour maintenir la performance des dispositifs et systèmes microélectroniques à leur meilleur, tout en […]

Recycling complex products, typical to aeronautic industry, require a highly enhancement in Canadian engineering knowledge, The project will study the best ways to part-out, dismantle and recycle aircraft and helicopter at the end of their life with the objective of increasing their value by recovering, reusing or recycling subassemblies; parts and material. An experimental platfonn […]
