As senior numbers continue to grow so do the healthcare costs. In order to aid hospitals and senior care facilities in managing the health of seniors many new sensors are being developed with the aim of increasing operational efficiencies, reducing health care costs and improving the health of older adults by reducing risk factors that […]

Nucap developed a new bonding technology (GRIP Metal™) that has been primarily used to connect backing plates with braking pads used in automotive disk braking systems. Nucap wishes to explore the technology towards different applications. In this proposal, fibre metal laminates used in the aerospace industry, in particular, GLARE (glass laminate aluminum reinforced epoxy) will […]

Antibodies are used for treatment of many diseases, including cancer. Within the human immune system, antibodies fight invading bacteria and viruses. We have devised a way to make high-quality antibodies in the laboratory and target them to specific disease-related proteins that have been identified by the scientific community and in our lab. Ensuring that these […]

Groundwater contamination by hydrocarbon fuels such as gasoline and diesel fuel is a serious threat to the environment and human health. Sources of this contamination include leaking underground storage tanks, pipleline breaks, tanker truck accidents and train derailments. There is a need for improved understanding of the mobility of hydrocarbon fuels in the subsurface to […]

Datasets obtained from different sources are often heterogeneous: they do not share a common internal structure, even though they are nominally about the same subject matter. This makes reporting against datasets difficult without laborious, manual efforts to clean and transform the data. This project will investigate the feasibility of an approach to abstract the harvesting […]

The project aims at better understanding the role the stand composition may play in increasing resilience of the Quebec forests to future climate variability. We propose that by increasing the degree “mixing” of different species within forest stands, we can make forest more adapted to climatically unfavourable conditions, those frequency may increase in the future. […]

Many employees commute long distances for work or work for long periods in different geographic locations than where they live. Organizations are increasingly called upon to manage these forms of employee mobility in ways that sustain and maximize organizational productivity, as well as employee, and family well-being. Yet there is very limited research to inform […]

S2E Technologies is a consulting company leading the design and implementation of two Smart communities, to be located in London and Guelph, Ontario. The aim of this research collaboration is to assist S2E with the modeling, design, and analysis of rooftop solar greenhouses integrated with grocery stores, anaerobic digesters and livestock barns. The analysis will […]

The NSERC Strategic Network for Smart Applications on Virtual Infrastructures is a five-year partnership between Canadian industry, universities, researchers, research and education (R&E) networks, and high performance computing centres to investigate the design of future application platforms that will deliver software applications of greater capability and intelligence. These application platforms will be supported by an […]

L’Université de Moncton, seule université francophone du Nouveau-Brunswick, est située dans un milieu à forte majorité anglophone. L’état des connaissances sur les déterminants de la réussite universitaire chez cette population n’est que parcellaire et peu discriminant. Comme le souligne Landry (2014), les différents groupes populationnels du Nouveau-Brunswick constituent un microcosme du pays et sont en […]

The project involves monitoring and evaluating the energy performance of two houses built by a mainstream builder – one Net Zero Energy (NZE) and one Net Zero Ready (NZR). Both have advanced zoned variable-capacity air source heat pump systems (ASHPs), heat pump water heaters (HPWHs) and drain water heat recovery. The NZE house has a […]

Two Hat Security is a company that develops next generation moderation tools for social networking apps. Since images are of the most important data shared by social networking apps, an important problem for the company is to identify images that are unsafe or inappropriate. In particular, images containing certain objects (e.g. knife, gun, bikini, etc.) […]
