L’insertion de cathéters veineux périphériques permet l’injection de médication à un patient. Cette procédure est réalisée chez environ 70% des patients admis dans un hôpital canadien. L’insertion du cathéter peut être difficile, particulièrement chez les patients pour lesquels les vaisseaux sanguins ne sont pas visibles à la surface de la peau. De plus, cette procédure […]

Robotic vacuum cleaners (RVCs) have been leading the industry as domestic helpers for several years now, with continuous improvements in functionality and performance. Nowadays, consumers are showing more and more interest in purchasing RVCs. The market size has grown up to 350 billion dollars per year. However to date, most RVCs on the market are […]

Severe bleeding is a life-threatening medical emergency that can potentially result in death. Although there are currently available treatments to stop severe bleeding from injuries, these treatments have their limitations and may be ineffective for specific types of bleeding, such as non-compressible intra-abdominal bleeding. The goal of this proposed project is to conduct research on […]

The primary source of green hydrogen, faces several barriers. One of the main issues is that it relies heavily on costly and scarce noble metals, namely platinum, iridium, and ruthenium. The utilization of these metals brings into question their supply chain availability, sustainability in green hydrogen projects, and overall cost. On the other hand, AEM […]

The demand for photovoltaic solar modules has increased tremendously in recent years. Unfortunately, photovoltaic solar modules are prone to potential induced degradation, i.e., a decrease in the power delivered from such modules arising as a consequence of them operating continuously under high applied voltages. This project aims to design a protocol for the accelerated testing […]

Deformed fiberglass bars used to reinforce concrete has the potential for better bond to concrete than other types. Currently, design guides and codes for concrete structures include design provisions for bond strength of spaced bars only. Also, these provisions are based on sand-coated bars, which are different from deformed bars. Finally, code equations are based […]

Virtual Models 3D models provide a fast and efficient way to visualize various structures and sites in the oil and gas industry. High definition ultra-high speed laser scanners will be used for acquiring the point cloud data to develop these 3D models. Once a set of point cloud data is obtained from a site the […]

Seafarers need ice navigation training to protect the safety of people, the environment, and ships while driving in ice covered waters. In this project, Virtual Marine’s simulators will be used to create a new method of delivering ice navigation training – an adaptive instructional system. In an adaptive instructional system, a computer develops a personalized […]

Scoring essays is important for learning and business. With AI and machine learning, we can save time and resources by automating the process. This project looks at automatic essay grading from three angles. First, we generate more data using automatic methods called data programming. This helps improve the machine learning models. Then, we refine the […]

“THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW”

Mining activities generate large quantities of waste rock after valuable metals are extracted. Upon exposure to air and water, a diverse range of metals and metalloids are released and mobilized to the surrounding environment. There is an urgent need to manage the environmental risk posed by mine waste rock piles given the scale of the […]
