Les géomembranes sont utilisées dans différents secteurs du génie géotechnique pour contrôler l’étanchéité, par exemple dans les réservoirs d’eau, les canaux d’irrigation et les barrages, mais également pour limiter la migration de polluants dans le cas de décharges solides et de bassins d’effluents liquides. Or, elles doivent répondre à des exigences de plus en plus […]

Using high-quality anodes, which have high density, low specific electrical resistivity, and low reactivity, reduces the anode consumption, production cost, energy consumption, and the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG). This consequently improves the overall electrolytic cell performance. Therefore, the improvement of anode quality is one of the priorities of aluminium industry. The objective of theproject […]

Fourien is facing negative affects on its manufacturing and sales because of interrupted supply chain in the electronics components. In order to recover from the impact of the pandemic, the company is considering to implement some critical changes in the design of its circuit boards. The transition involves a complex process to evaluate the economics, […]

Optimizing an integrated virtual care technology solution to expand capabilities to manage patients with cognitive impairment. These enhancements will improve remote monitoring and management of patients with Alzheimer’s and Dementia. The project will result in the development of additional tools and proprietary applications to enable comprehensive assessments in the areas of stroke and other neurological […]

As we advanced into the information age, the need for high capacity communication channels is becoming ubiquitous. As the next generation of satellites is being deployed there is a need for efficient interconnections between them, especially for those forming low earth orbiting constellations for the coming Internet-of-Space applications. The limited radio frequency spectrum available is […]

The automation of wastewater treatment plants can lead to decreased energy usage and improved effluent quality. Current technology focuses on instrumentation and displays so that human operators can make decisions on the operating point of the plant, while relying on simple computer feedback controls to guide the plant. This research program aims at developing intelligent […]

Nondestructive evaluation (NDE) is frequently performed for various manufacturing sectors, but its current practices require human operators to be involved in all aspects of the data collection, transfer and analysis. With the advent of Industry 4.0, NDE technology needs to be upgraded to “NDE 4.0” comprising essential aspects such as automatic and autonomous NDE, interconnectivity […]

In 2008, Satoshi Nakamato introduced Bitcoin, a peer to peer electronic cash system. Unlike traditional banking system, Bitcoin allows people to transfer their money without need to trust a third party. This goal was achieved using the data structure called blockchain. Since Bitcoin, the idea of blockchain has been widely used in several projects. Depending […]

Diabetes mellitus, a metabolic disease affecting 422 million people worldwide, had often been associated with a loss in bone quality and strength, causing a higher fracture risk. However, thorough characterization of diabetic bone at the nanoscale has never been completed. This may indeed be relevant, as the structure and chemistry of the nanoscale components of […]

The streamflow forecasting tool proposed here will automate data collection and processing for machine learning (data-driven) models by querying online databases from Alberta Agriculture and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and then using the received data to predict the current year’s average monthly and seasonal streamflow with minimal input from users. Of relevance […]

Axtion Independence Mobility Inc. was founded in January of 2020 to design in-home, affordable devices to help seniors and others with mobility challenges remain living independently and with dignity. Axtion’s first design combines a rollator walker with an elevating seat to help fall victims recover from a fall. The elevating seat also stops at any […]

With the growth in demand for electric vehicles and mobile devices powered by rechargeable lithium batteries, demand for lithium is expected to increase by over 200% in the next decade. Current lithium production comes primarily from Australia, South America and China. There are significant lithium reserves in the same Saskatchewan aquifers currently being exploited for […]
