With growing urgency towards Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG), mining companies are trying to position themselves to take advantage of the massive demand for metals to come with the energy transition. To place their products in the marketplace and retain their social license to operate, miners are committing to net-zero carbon emission targets. With […]

The project will test new data transmitting technology as equipment for measuring such soil physical characteristics as temperature, humidity and CO2. Data transmitted both wirelessly (through the air) and below the soil surface at different depths will be determined. Apart from this, it is expected that measurements from soil freezing and thawing cycles will be […]

L’objectif de ce projet de recherche est de développer une approche permettant de cibler les principaux secteurs responsables des émissions de GES de la région de la Gaspésie, et d’identifier des pistes de solution à intégrer dans un plan d’action régional contre les changements climatiques. L’approche développée pourra être appliquée à d’autres régions dans le […]

The project mainly focuses on the cellular behaviour and ways to predict human gene interactions. Using a method called Proteinfragment Complementation Assays, we are able to compute the biochemical networks in living cells. The results of this project will provide a novel and highly efficient way to establish hypotheses about the organization of cellular regulatory […]

This project further develops and implements unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) autonomous landing on underway ships in a sea state under zero visibility (Canadian Arctic operations). The was developed, implemented, and verified by Dalhousie University on an experimental UAV to TRL 4. The present project’s objective is to also implement the verified capabilities on an UAV […]

The research project identified here falls under the category of “clean energy technology”. Methanobiofiltration (MBF) is a new technology for the treatment of waste methane gas using a biological process, thus contributing to the reduction of the environmental impacts of current energy technologies. The lack of a complete technology package needed for various industry sectors […]

The overall objective of the work is to understand how loading from the different muscle groups affects the strain that develops in the Superficial Digital Flexor Tendon (SDTF) of the Horse. We will be able to learn how the strength and power of each muscle group must be adapted to achieve different strain distributions in […]

The mining industry is integral to modern living standards and related technological advancements. However, mining operations are complex and capital-intensive ventures that rely on the coordination of a number of moving parts to remain viable. Moreover, external forces such as evolving global economic, socio-environmental and geopolitical factors also present significant levels of risk to modern […]

The proposed project will focus on expanding upon existing autofluorescence based cancer screening techniques. In particular, our efforts will be focused on using a dual-spectral approach to extract the intrinsic fluorescence of the sample. Current methods of autofluorescence based oral cancer screening capitalize on the fact that tumorous or pre-cancerous tissue exhibits reduced autofluorescence relative […]

To increase the production of EV chargers to meet market demand, there needs to be advanced engineering solutions and demonstrated knowledge of EV charger testing and performance. More solutions and capabilities will result in greater support for product development. Celestica and the Centre for Urban Energy (CUE) at Ryerson University will collaboratively develop a testing […]

Through decades of mining and oil exploration, over 10,000 contaminated sites are found in Canada with toxic levels of heavy metals and harmful contaminants. In many cases, the contamination is on local farmland and the impacts on the environment and especially on the native communities and Indigenous inhabitants is devastating. This project will be committed […]

L’aérodynamique et la stabilité sont deux éléments importants pour les hydroplanes qui sont des bateaux de course conçus pour voler au-dessus de l’eau. À grandes vitesses, l’air s’engouffre dans le tunnel formé sous l’hydroplane, ce qui soulève le bateau, réduisant la friction avec les vagues. Cependant, cela peut également conduire à une détérioration des caractéristiques […]
