The generation of clean hydroelectric power occurs often in locations far from consumers. High voltage transmission lines that traverse vast terrains are employed for the transmission of the generated clean electric energy. They are exposed to various environmental conditions, including wildfire smoke. Wildfire smoke has the potential to decrease the breakdown strength of air insulation, […]

Background- Bacterial analysis in the field is complex and often imprecise. It is therefore difficult to detect and identify a specific strain in a timely manner, which complicates the choice of an optimal treatment regimen. This is a critical issue and bacterial infection are taking an increasing toll on the population and the health services. […]

In bridges, the deck slab or panels are usually connected to the supporting girders using various types of shear connector like bent bars or threaded rods which make the interfaces significantly congested. For reducing this congestion, bridge contractors normally use steel shear studs. The proposed new research is exploring the use of double-headed fiber-reinforced polymer […]

Carbon dioxide is considered one of the main greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The gas causes huge environmental and social negative impacts. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce gas emissions to benefit the communities and societies. The project focuses on CO2 capture by amine solutions and solid materials. Besides the laboratory measurements, the work continues […]

NuVista Energy (“NuVista”) intends to develop a commercial scale demonstration of a multi-purpose hydrogen hub with blending for gas-fired turbines and future transportation fueling leveraging the novel Pulse Methane Pyrolysis (PMP) technology to significantly reduce GHG emissions related to fuel gas consumption. The demonstration project will be located at our Wembley gas plant cogeneration facility […]

Managing a consistent plant environment is critical to maximizing yield and quality of plant produced in a controlled environment agricultural (CEA) systems. The environmental conditions directly impact plant production which in turn impact plant product quality and marketability. The quality of the produced plant (leafy greens, or other plants) are influenced by both the environment […]

Les études démontrent que 15-20 % des patients sont insatisfaits en post prothèse totale du genou. Plusieurs de ces patients présentent de la douleur antérieure. Dans le cas du syndrome fémoro-patellaire, différents déficits biomécaniques pouvant expliquer ces symptômes ont été identifiés. Cependant, aucune étude ne s’est intéressée à la biomécanique du genou chez une population […]

This project is a collaborative endeavour between Rocscience Inc. and Dr. Mitri’s research group at McGill University. Rocscience is a leading firm specializing in the development of geotechnical engineering software. The project aims to validate the discrete fracture network modelling (DFN) approach as a tool for rock slope stability design/ analysis in civil and mining […]

Rogers Communications, with around 8,000 cell towers in Canada, faces challenges in manual inspections, which are slow and risky. In collaboration with Rogers, our research team is developing a cutting-edge solution: small drones enhanced with 5G and AI technology. This approach aims to revolutionize tower inspections by providing faster, more accurate, and safer methods. The […]

The demand for higher bandwidth and ultra-lower latency has increased due to the rise of wireless devices. To meet these challenges, fifth generation (5G) new radio (NR) offers enhanced bandwidths with higher data rates and ultra-lower latency for real-time applications. The ultra-dense networks in 5G NR can improve the coverage. However, it can cause problem […]

The proposed research project “Cloud based hybrid low-cost appliance control and monitor system” is an appliance automation system consisting of an arrangement of different channels of communication. The main idea behind the proposed work is to provide a real time control and monitoring for industrial appliances located in workplaces where internet accessibility is not immediate. […]

While emotions are an integral part of human self-expression, not everyone conveys their emotions in the same manner. For instance, an individual with cerebral palsy (CP) may experience difficulties in producing clear speech due to severe gross and fine motor impairments and existing augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices are limited when head and limb […]
