Les nanotechnologies se développent extrêmement rapidement et de nombreux travailleurs sont susceptibles d’être exposés à des nanoparticules qui possèdent une toxicité spécifique. Néanmoins, il n’existe pas de norme d’exposition pour ce type de contaminant et les entreprises qui travaillent dans le domaine des nanotechnologies ont besoin d’aide afin de gérer efficacement certaines situations. Cette gestion […]

Standard training barbell impose a static orientation of the hand with the palm either facing up or down. Recently, Orbital Rotation International Inc. developed a device that allows to dynamically adjustment of the hand’s orientation during motions. Our objective is to assess the effect of hand orientation adjustment on upper-limb biomechanics during functional training exercises. […]

Blockchain technology is gaining an increasing amount of attentions in the past few years, partially due to the popularity of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. It has the potential to profoundly disrupt a wide range of industries. Despite its great potential, today’s blockchain has several major hurdles. First, it can be slow. Second, it can be […]

This research project aims at applying machine learning over the existing financial forecasting methods currently employed in the commercial real estate industry. Businesses are actively collecting more data than what can be analyzed effectively using the standard spreadsheet models which have become industry standard over the past few decades. Machine learning algorithms are known to […]

Le présent projet de recherche s’intéresse à la numérisation des contrats d’édition entre les éditeurs et les auteurs. En effet, les éditeurs rencontrent principalement trois problèmes dans leurs relations avec les auteurs. Le premier concerne le contenu du contrat d’édition ; le deuxième est relié à la rétribution financière des auteurs ; et enfin le […]

Exposure to diagnostic imaging techniques such as computed tomography (CT) scan has been reported as a potential cause of DNA damage leading to cancer in patients as well as health care professionals. Coramed wishes to develop a unique antioxidant formula to avoid the above risk. With the aim of incorporating natural antioxidants present in apple […]

Millions of bats have died in eastern North America since the introduction of the invasive fungus known as white-nose syndrome (WNS) in 2006. This fungus is rapidly spreading through bat-to-bat contact during hibernation. The impact of WNS in Nova Scotia is estimated to be 95% mortality based on the population estimates at a select few […]

Clearpath Robotics has developed an accurate GPS navigation system that enables autonomous robots to move in outdoor environments. However, to move toward a target location and avoid obstacles along the path, a path planner is required. The objective of this project is to develop, tune and modify an efficient path planner for the robot in […]

The Dolphin and Union caribou herd is integral to Inuit culture, subsistence and identity. Preliminary local and scientific knowledge both indicate that this caribou herd is declining and in poorer health than before. We need to bring everyone together and use everything we know about Dolphin and Union caribou, the environment and the other animals […]

Wetlands are important habitats for many plant and animal species, and also provide valuable ecosystem services to society such as improving water quality and releasing groundwater into streams. While wetlands are often protected from development through the land use planning process in Ontario, development and land use change near wetlands can still alter the amount […]

This Phase I proposal is intended to undertake a requirements-gathering and an initial system design for a system that exploits the integrity guarantees of blockchain technology and the high throughput capability of commercial/open source transactional database management systems (DBMS). Although current approaches will be a part of the solution, innovation is required to allow for […]
