In rural regions of Canada, many patients live far from hospital emergency departments and specialty services. When urgent medical care is required due to a health crisis, access to pre-hospital care and the distance to an emergency department can have a major impact on morbidity and mortality. The primary objective of our study is to […]

Detecting maneuvers is important to a number of operational needs, such as to ease tracking of active satellites, discern and forecast the regular activity of a satellite, and detect deviations from nominal maneuver patterns. Although data on the orbits of satellites are publicly available on the internet, their precision is low and uncertain, which makes […]

The HIV epidemic and risk behaviour in the DTES will be modelled as stochastic processes on a network. Nodes in the network will represent individuals and links social interactions between them. Stochastic contact processes on the network links will be used to model both transmission of HIV and social influence. The network will capture transmission […]

Research into child safety applications using Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods is a new area of investigation. SafeToNet is continuing to develop AI monitoring tools together with a team of researchers at the University of Ottawa. These tools, when used over time, will take advantage of outgoing text-based communications from devices to detect the early onset […]

Proactive road safety analysis allows for the pre-emptive diagnosis of road safety issues without direct observation of traffic accidents by observing accident precursor events instead (i.e. “traffic conflicts”). This approach to road safety diagnosis is made possible with the collection and analysis of large quantities of high-resolution road user trajectory data acquired from video data […]

Nucleom est une entreprise canadienne proposant des services de contrôle non destructif (CND) pour diverses applications telles que l’inspection de réacteurs nucléaires ou de pipelines. Ce projet de recherche fortement appliquée permettra un transfert de connaissance entre le laboratoire d’accueil et le partenaire industriel. Le projet principal aura pour objectif d’évaluer les possibilités d’inspection ultrasonore […]

The large global production quantity of particleboard and medium density fiberboard (MDF) creates equal quantity of particleboard and MDF waste after completing their service life. Given increasing demand for green products and the new government’s environmental policies, it is urgent to develop technologies to recycle these used composite panels into valuable raw materials for manufacturing […]

In recent years, significant scientific breakthroughs have opened the door to harnessing the immune system to fight cancer. One potential group of targets, known as G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), have proven challenging due to their membrane localization and the existence of several close analogues, which often leads to ineffective or even non-specific mode of […]

Dunes are common bed features in large sand-bedded rivers and are significant sources of in-channel roughness. Reliably estimating roughness is crucial for the prediction of flood flows, but roughness is crudely represented in hydraulic models widely used by environmental consultants and engineers. Roughness is treated as a calibration knob in these models, adjusted to force […]
