This research project will be focused on the development of a new software technology in order to model and map maximum solar energy potential on the rooftops and facades of buildings with high spatiotemporal resolution, with particular emphasis on optimal community design for smart net-zero energy solar communities. The goal of this project is to […]

A disturbing number of aggregate pop-out cases have recently been observed in newly poured concrete throughout the City of Saskatoon. A “pop-out” is a small, often cone-shaped void in a horizontal concrete surface left after a near-surface aggregate particle has fractured. Aggregate pop-outs can accelerate the deterioration of concrete sidewalks and can result in safety […]

Global warming is a leading threat to humanity. Carbon capture, especially direct air capture (DAC), is the key to its reversal. The bottleneck of the DAC expansion is its high cost vs. the insufficient value of CO2. On the other hand, Atlantic Canada has unmet natural gas demand, especially after the termination of Sable and […]

Considerable growth in the global population and economy leads to an increase in fuel demand. This requires production of clean fuels with minimum CO2 emissions to maintain climate, energy, political, and social security. Hydrogen is a promising carbon-free fuel that can be produced from various renewable sources such as wind and biological systems. The microalgal […]

La robotique collaborative offre de nouvelles possibilités d’automatisation particulièrement intéressantes pour exécuter des protocoles complexes de biologie moléculaire en utilisant des instruments conventionnels en laboratoire. Ceci permet d’automatiser des protocoles impossibles ou difficiles à l’aide de plateformes robotiques habituellement employées en sciences biologiques, en utilisant plutôt un bras robotique UR3 offrant une liberté de mouvement […]

Presently, tunicates pose a serious challenge for the mussel aquaculture industry in PEI and Atlantic Provinces, which leads to a dramatic increase in the cost of production for both growers and processors. Although tunicate can be applied as the feedstock for the preparation of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), an abundant amount of protein-rich liquid stream is […]

The last twenty years have seen whirlwind advancement in production of metallic parts via additive manufacturing (AM). This technology has surpassed its origins in manufacturing titanium parts; additive manufacturing is now applicable to a vast range of alloys, including stainless steels. The principal advantage of constructing parts layer by layer is to afford the capacity […]

Le secteur biolimentaire québécois doit faire face à des problématiques de concurrence internationale forte, de manque de relève, de rendements non-optimaux et d’un besoin urgent de réduire son impact environnemental. La littérature scienti-fique met en évidence l’importance d’une transition numérique du secteur, soit l’utilisation des nouvelles technologies, qui permettrait au secteur d’améliorer ou résoudre ces […]

There are four main objectives for the proposed project: (1) To investigate three techniques of aiding the wet screening process including: (a) inclined screening combined with water jets, (b) sonication, and (c) a combination of those two techniques, to find optimum operating conditions for each technique and allow them to be evaluated and compared. (2) […]

The founder of Pawsome Concierge has worked in the Dairy industry for over 10 years and has lots of experience and knowledge in the overall food industry in Canada. When she realized there were no standards and regulations in Canada for the pet food industry, she took it upon herself to start making homemade 100% […]

Afin de contribuer à la transition énergétique qui abandonne progressivement l’utilisation des énergies fossiles et ainsi répondre aux objectifs fixés par le Canada en matière de changement climatique, ce projet vise à fabriquer une membrane imprimée avec des catalyseurs capable de produire de l’hydrogène à partir de l’eau à faible coût. Pour y parvenir, divers […]
