This research will focus on the design of 5G networks to provide for future wireless services include the use cases of Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), Massive Machine Type Communication (mMTC), and Ultra-reliable and Low Latency Communications (URLLC), and application area use cases such as Smart City, Smart Home/In-building, Augmented Reality, Self-Driving Cars, etc. 5G Technology […]

Ecopak/ASIO souhaite développer un nouveau système d’éclairage intelligent pour véhicules s’adaptant à divers types de conditions de conduite tels que des véhicules venant en sens inverse (phare avant), véhicules venant dans le même sens (phares rouges), éblouissement par réflexion sur la neige et conditions de blizzard tout en respectant le dimensionnel et le budget d’une […]

When storing and retrieving large quantities of aerial surveillance video to be used as evidence, it must be possible to validate video as authentic without relying on secret knowledge. Part of the solution to this problem involves a novel combination of cryptography techniques used in blockchains and elsewhere together with computer filesystems, allowing data to […]

The project aims to develop a novel research tool that simulates the cell’s natural 3-dimensional environment, while providing the researcher with dynamic control of said environment. This tool will elicit natural cell responses (ie. In tissue), unlike conventional 2-dimensional cell cultures. The tool will also provide the researcher with precise control over the mechanical/biochemical cues […]

This project is intended to help the industrial partner, Stelco, to develop electrical steels with improved magnetic properties through controlled thermomechanical processing. Electrical steels are widely used in the manufacturing of stators and rotors of electric motors used in general rotating machines and electric vehicles. Improving the magnetic properties of electrical steels would result in […]

The proposed research investigates an opportunity of developing renewable bio-based diesel fuel as an alternative to petroleum based fuel to lower the emission of greenhouse gases. High temperature pyrolysis of wood chips will be investigated in multi-stage pyrolysis and fluidized bed system and the quality of liquid oil will be compared for diesel substitution.

Municipal solid waste (MSW) is one of the challenges the urban communities are facing throughout the world. Identification of optimal MSW management option(s) is difficult because of the complex and variable nature of MSW and the various environmental and economic criteria for a particular community. This research will mainly focus on studying Metro Vancouver MSW […]

RNA interference mediated gene silencing provides one of the most effective treatments for many genetic diseases such as cancer and viral infection. However, due to the many difficulties siRNAs would face during systemic pathway, a delivery system is needed to protect it from degradation and endosomal entrapment, and also to facilitate the unloading of the […]

In a previous study, the combination of water electrolysis with tri-reforming of methane for methanol production was evaluated. Results from the process simulation demonstrated that a net negative carbon emission process could be achieved without compromising productivity. To make further improvements, the main objective of this current project is to carry out energy optimization on […]

The bond between adhered manufactured stone masonry veneer units and the setting bed mortar will be studied. It will involve testing shear, and tensile bond on small samples. Samples will consist of 2 types of adhered manufactured stones; two types of setting bed mortar (Type S, and modified dry-set cement mortar); and two types of […]

Une très grande majorité des skieurs alpins ont une très grande conscience environnementale et ceci est en partie dû au fait que la nature est avant tout leur terrain de jeu. À travers le vaste éventail de modèles de skis disponibles sur le marché, aucune option d’achat écoresponsable n’est disponible pour les clients ayant une […]
