N/A Please add the Project Overview as I was unable to locate it. Thank you!

The proposed project is dedicated to fast resistance and inductance extraction for multiconductor transmission lines. Since the complexity of power cable designs has grown significantly over the past decade, fast and accurate tools for electromagnetic characterization are required. The cable models presently used by Manitoba Hydro however are overly simplified compared to the ones available […]

Monitoring the quality of perishable food is critical for reducing the societal costs. A wireless intelligent gas sensor based on biomass/heavy oil-derived activated carbon will be prepared to monitoring the spoilage of food. Agricultural/forest biomass residual materials such as straw, sawmill waste, and logging residue, and cheap and abundant bitumen are feedstocks yielding high porous […]

EPCOR Distribution and Transmission Inc., an electric utility based in Edmonton is looking to figure out the inspection intervals on its distribution assets. In the case of pole-mounted transformers and wood poles, fixed interval inspection performed by EDTI might not detect potential risks immediately. Also, it often resulted in the decision of no action required. […]

Using simplified language understandable to a layperson; provide a general, one-paragraph description of the proposed research project to be undertaken by the intern(s) as well as the expected benefit to the partner organization. (100 – 150 words) This project aims to increase image datasets by not doing experiments or collecting physical checks. Instead, the image […]

In our project, we plan to improve the interfacial properties between metallic Li anodes and garnet-based Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZ) electrolyte. The approach is to use coating techniques such as chemical and physical vapor deposition (CVD/PVD), and atomic layer deposition (ALD) to deposit a thin protection layer on a dense LLZ separator which is co-sintered with a […]

Groupe Domax est une entreprise spécialisée dans l’intégration et l’opération de lave-autos mécanisés en Amérique du Nord. Groupe Domax prévoit se positionner comme le nouveau leader mondial en ce qui a trait au lavage automatisé et écologique, et ainsi se démarquer favorablement dans un marché de 19,6 milliards de dollars seulement en Amérique du Nord. […]

The overall goal of this project is to approach the concept of “smart buildings” from a novel perspective by creating a new building automation and controls technology that unifies smart buildings with data centres, with a focus on interaction between digital models and human operators. Data centres pose unique agility, reliability, security, and efficiency requirements […]

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the whole world by the spread of a new respiratory virus (SARS-CoV-2), posing a significant burden on the society and the health system. Rapid and selective detection of pathogens, like SARS-CoV-2 virus, in clinical samples, food, water and the environment at large is crucial in diagnosis and breakout prevention. Conventional […]

Burns are a common type of skin injury that cause numerous deaths around the world every year. Timely assessment of burns plays an important role in a successful treatment. Traditionally, burns are assessed through visual and tactile observation by clinicians. This method of assessment is highly inconsistent as it depends on the availability of a […]

Le projet consiste à développer des bio-emballages pour des applications de stockage et transport pour les secteurs agricoles et forestiers. Ces matériaux biosourcés permet de substituer les plastiques conventionnels largement utilisés comme des emballages. De plus, les bio-emballages permettent de résoudre plusieurs défis, d’un côté environnemental, de recyclage et de biodégradabilité, mais aussi à l’égard […]

Connections for existing precast buildings built in the 1960s to 1970s in Alberta were not detailed for earthquake loads. These connections exclusively rely on the friction between the floor (double tees) and the corbel in resisting lateral movement. The original design considered possible lateral movement due to thermal effects and shrinkage but did not consider […]
