The proposed project is built around combining two existing projects, one situated at Carleton and the other situated at NAIST. Carleton has developed a tactile device which can both be tracked for use with Virtual Reality and can also change shape to simulate the tactile feel of various objects presented in a virtual environment. The […]

I n effort to reduce the environmental footprint and improve the sustainability of wastewatertreatment plants, this study is focused on the production of energy and the recovery of valueadded products from municipal wastewater via the chemical precipitation of magnesium ammonium phosphate (struvite). The method employs the controlled addition of a suitable magnesium compound such as […]

FluidPlanet.org is a non-profit organization that builds and runs gaming-based interactive digital twins (virtual versions of real places) with other non-profit organizations (e.g., universities, communities, etc.) to support the understanding and study of public environments. In this project, FluidPlanet.org will work with the University of Lethbridge and the University of Calgary to develop digital twins […]

Strokes and myocardial infarctions, caused by the rupture of unstable atherosclerotic plaques in the carotid and coronary arteries, are the leading causes of death world-wide. Current clinical guidelines recommend surgical removal of plaques based solely on the degree of artery stenosis. However, stenosis alone is an incomplete determinant of stroke/heart attack risk, leading to suboptimal […]

Les athlètes de boccia doivent maîtriser différents types de lancers (par exemple, placement, montée, ouverture, etc.) et les mettre en oeuvre avec succès au bon moment pendant un match afin de prendre le dessus sur leur adversaire et marquer des points. L’analyse notationnelle pour quantifier les actions réussies et non réussies ainsi que les schémas […]

Shannex is presently piloting a geo-navigation system in some of its enhanced care homes. It is anticipated this data, once brought in-house, will have data mining capabilities to impose prevention/mitigation tactics on adverse health outcomes and ultimately improve the quality of life of residents. Our present challenge is the existing reporting system is not robust […]

Data visualization is an important approach to help people understand data by graphic representation of data. Along with the development of various electronic devices and sensors, big data era is coming to us. Data visualization plays an increasingly important role in this era. However, research indicated that it’s hard for non visualization experts to author […]

This project studies network capacity and throughput for newly emerging MSGN infrastructure including mesh planning strategies and how the number of hops and end-devices affects the overall throughput. The work includes developing the analytical framework, and confirmation through simulation and physical experiment, of proof-of-concepts in the smart utility lab IPv6 RF mesh test bed. During […]

There is evidence to suggest that health institutions across Canada are expanding their research and innovation programs and partnerships with industry. The goal of this Mitacs project is to explore the role that a health institution engaging in research and education can play in promoting technology transfer and the commercialization of intellectual property. The research […]

A cross-disciplinary collaboration between investigators in Electrical Engineering and Chemistry has lead to the discovery of a promising new material system for nanoelectronics. This material system is a conducting polymer / inorganic metal oxide heterojunction, electrochemically grown onto a crossbar structure. This heterojunction produces transient current-voltage characteristics that can be controlled by electric fields and […]

This project will develop an artificial intelligence-based data fusion framework for activity duration forecasting in project scheduling. Task duration estimation is an important component for project scheduling and optimization for many industries. This problem is significantly more acute for projects with a very large number of activities such as ship building and refit or when […]

Canada’s unconventional gas resources are an emerging low-cost, clean burning energy source, the export of which presents both a major economic opportunity for Canada. To unlock this gas from the low permeability rocks it is found in, hydraulic fracturing is used. This process involves pumping fluids under high pressure into the reservoir rock to generate […]
