Breastmilk is the best nutrition for a premature infant. When a mother’s milk is not available, the best alternative is donor human milk (DHM). Currently, DHM is pooled together from different mothers and there is no matching process based on the unique genetics or needs of the infant. This project...

Within the prairies, water treatment brings unique challenges. Source waters are often nutrient rich, and within lakes, this can lead to enhanced cyanobacterial bloom risk, and elevated dissolved organic matter leading to production of disinfection by-products. There are myriad challenges, which can be supported by improved understanding of source waters,...

Underground mines generate significant volumes of crushed waste rock, called tailings, but almost half of these can be returned underground and used as value-added backfill. This research uses non-destructive sensors that monitor the backfill’s strength in real time and provides operators with information needed to safely place backfill as quickly...

Biomass is a key feedstock for the production of renewable fuels and chemicals with potential zero carbon emissions and at low cost. State of the art conversion of biomass to bio-fuels focuses on the pyrolysis of the feedstock at high temperature in conventional reactors. However, current technologies face many challenges...

This research project aims to identify the defects in large steel blocks and remove them by providing a practical solution which causes to optimize the machining operations and improve the product quality. The solution will be found using simulations instead of expensive, time-consuming experiments, which are impossible to conduct in...

The climate of northern Quebec and Labrador is strongly influenced by natural variability on time scales ranging from years to decades. These internal modes of variability superimpose onto the anthropogenically forced global warming trend, thus making local climate variations difficult to anticipate in the short term. The communities living in...
