Sport participants offer a source for community leadership potential that could be more fully and intentionally leveraged for maximum social impact. Currently, leadership development occurring through sport is haphazard and may be a product of chance rather than intent. This research explores elite athletes’ perspectives of leadership competencies developed through sport and aims to gain […]

À plus de 8 millions d’animaux, le chat est l’animal de compagnie favori dans les foyers canadiens. Le diabète de type 2 a une prévalence qui varie de 1 pour 50 à 1 pour 400 chez le chat de compagnie. La glycosurie est une manifestation diagnostique chez le chat diabétique. Actuellement, il n’existe aucun moyen […]

It is expected that a complete deployment of Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs) onto a transportation network will take a long transition period and, therefore, reliable and accurate modeling of mixed traffic networks that include both conventional vehicles (ConVs) and CAVs is of paramount importance for the success of CAVs concept implementation. This project will […]

The Canadian Arctic is warming at an alarming rate. The coastal community of Pangnirtung, Nunavut has long witnessed and experienced the reality of climate change. Country food is the main resource for Panniqtuumiut all year round and practices related to hunting and fishing are key to family and community well-being. Local organizations and community members […]

Machine learning in large-scale Internet-of-Things (IoT) systems can bring overwhelming demand on the limited resource of IoT devices, e.g., simple cameras and ambient sensors. However, it can substantially benefit from the additional computation and communication resources provided by a new wireless computing framework called Mobile/multiaccess Edge Computing (MEC). In this project, we study machine learning […]

L’industrie laitière et de bétail implique la distribution de semences génétiquement optimales et de qualité. La cryoconservation du sperme bovin est la façon la plus efficace de fournir ces semences aux producteurs à travers le monde. L’inconvénient est que ce processus de congélation, à de très basses températures, induit une diminution de la fertilité des […]

The Global Matrix 4.0 Physical Activity Report Cards for Children and Youth is an initiative aimed at promoting global childhood physical activity through international collaborations. The goal of this project is to further the global promotion of childhood physical […]

This project aims at experimentally validating the commercial viability of a new silicon photonics design which provides state of the art monolithic integration of various CMOS control electronics and BiCMOS high speed RF drive electronics which may be combined with high bandwidth non-hermetic SMT packages capable of withstanding standard high volume solder reflow processes. Combining […]

This project will involve the research and production of micro-histories of non-profit humanitarian organizations based in Canada. By examining small moments in the foundation and work of these organizations, our goal is to contribute to a better understanding of the role of Canadian civil society organizations in international humanitarian programs. Our partners work in a […]

La consommation énergétique des bâtiments représente à elle seule près de 40% de la consommation énergétique mondiale, et plus de 30% des émissions annuelles de gaz à effet de serre. Dans cet ordre d’idée, l’optimisation du contrôle des chauffages, de la ventilation et de la climatisation (CVC) représente un enjeu majeur pour le secteur énergétique […]

The use of fossil fuels for energy has led to the significant emission of greenhouse gases from the stationary and automobile sources. Methane (CH4) is an abundant source of fuel found in large quantities in natural gas reserves or produced synthetically is an alternative fuel for motor vehicles, large track transportation, marine application because of […]

The project will foster high-quality analysis of taxation and other public policies in Canada. We will assemble data on public finances of governments in Canada and, to make them more useful for policy analysis, we will transform the data to make them consistent over time and across geographic units of Canada. We will make the […]
