Driver error is a contributing cause of most motor vehicle collisions. Consequently, accident rates are much higher in scenarios where safe transit requires increased reliance on driver ability and decision-making. Intersections, for example, are potential conflict zones, because unexpected hazards are common. For accident reconstructionists, like those at Kodsi Engineering, understanding hazard response enables comparison […]

The proposed research project will determine the significance of and catalog historic papers and documents held by the National History Committee (NHC: established 1983) of the Canadian Society for Civil Engineering (CSCE: established as the Canadian Society of Civil Engineers in 1887). These records have been rather haphazardly stored by various Chairs of the NHC […]

Malignant melanoma is an aggressive form of skin cancer that is generally fatal if untreated. Approximately 10-20% of patients treated with ipilimumab may experience significant long term survival benefits. However, a UK agency recently recommended against public funding for ipilimumab on the grounds that no biomarkers have been discovered to identify the small group of […]

Interns will perform research leading to the design or the implementation of new economic strategies that can be utilized in the design, financing, monitoring and evaluation of projects at different stages. Specifically, interns will work on an analysis of equitable access to broadband connectivity in Kingston, ON, as part of the City’s plan to expand […]

L’enquête vise à documenter et à comprendre les pratiques de consultation, attitudes et perceptions des Canadiens, francophones et anglophones, quant aux informations d’actualité dans l’environnement numérique, ainsi que sur les plateformes traditionnelles. Il s’agit de l’édition canadienne d’un sondage international piloté par le Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, à l’Université d’Oxford. Cette étude […]

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 […]
