Contact lens discomfort is one of the primary reasons that cause people to stop wearing them. The discomfort may be due to the buildup of tear film components on the lenses during lens wear. The purpose of this project is to understand where most of the tear film components are depositing on the lens, such […]

The project is about removing noise from video signals, for example, those taken by a professional cinema camera. In this project, we propose to develop a commercially capable noise reduction framework based on one of our patents to noise reduction. A commercial noise reduction is required to automatically recognize the type of noise piesent in […]

This project is focused on evaluating dining improvements being implemented by the partner organization, Schlegel Villages (SV). The first study involves one SV where the CHOICE+ Program is currently being piloted. CHOICE+ is a team-based approach to making physical and psychosocial improvement. The team is guided by Champions to make these changes over time; changes […]

D’importantes fluctuations spatio-temporelles du taux de recrutement naturel de l’huître creuse du Pacifique (Crassostrea gigas) sont observées dans la lagune de Thau en France, un site majeur de production d’huîtres, alors que la filière conchylicole méditerranéenne désire y développer sa propre activité de captage de naissain (juvénile). Nous suggérons que les variations spatiales de la […]

In this project, we will explore novel modeling methods to predict oil prices, based on a combination of machine learning methods with dynamic multiresolution analysis. The objective is to develop a software to better forecast oil prices. Oil is the world’s leading fuel, and its prices have a big impact on the global environment, the […]

North American Indigenous and Chinese/Taiwanese Indigenous peoples have long shared an intimate relationship with water. For them, water is not only a commodity or substance for physical survival, it is closely and deeply related with their spiritual lives as well. This research project aims to explore the subtle affinities between East Asian (specifically Sinophone) and […]

To understand the effects of various substances on plants in terms of yield and disease severity (phytopathology), we need to evaluate both statistical significance and biological relevance when conducting biological experiments. Biological relevance refers to the nature and size of biological changes or differences seen in studies that would be considered relevant, while Statistically significance […]

In January 2000, the US Department of Energy organized a meeting between nine nuclear countries to discuss the potential of a large scale collaboration, aimed at developing the generation four nuclear reactors. The meeting was concluded by the formation of the Generation IV International Forum (GIF). The Canadian nuclear industry have taken particular interest in […]

The neonatal and pre-weaned periods are the most challenging in dairy production, resulting in the highest mortality and morbidity rates, with diarrhea proving the most common cause of calf health problems. In order to treat and control this diarrhea, producers often rely on antibiotic therapy. An alternative is to provide living microorganisms (probiotics) that minimize […]

This work aims to take the academic research one step further to customize recommendations based on academic research findings on the identification and valuation of non-technical risks. It aims to improve the operationalization of the corporate strategy in the investment decision criteria guideline that involves both risks to the projects and risks to the people.

The project aims to establish new design methods and digital signal processing techniques allowing robust and efficient universal navigation and communication equipment in the fields of aeronautics and aerospace. New avionic standards are under study and strong arguments exist for the adoption of software defined radios at this point of time. The project anticipates the […]

The electrochemical splitting of water into hydrogen and oxygen gas is a technology of growing importance in the clean energy sector. Emerging technologies are employing membranes to provide physical separation of the cathode and anode compartments, thereby separating the product gases, while allowing ions to flow between the compartments to maintain the electrochemical reactions taking […]
