The project aims at accomplishing the real-time delineation of both Seismocardiogram and Gyrocardiogram signals (which are associated with different stages of the cardiovascular cycle) and effectively extracting cardiac performance metrics (fiducial points) for use in a non-invasive portable diagnostic tool as the deviations of the either timing or amplitude can be indicative of abnormality in […]

Anaerobic digestion of waste for biological methane and hydrogen production can be a sustainable source of renewable energy as well as an efficient waste management technique. Significant research efforts on digester design, process enhancement, and odors control are vital. In 2009, US Peroxide (a wholly owned subsidiary of Trojan Technologies) developed the peroxide regenerated iron […]

My MASc thesis involves the assessment of water management options proposed for two mine projects in Peru, with the overarching objective of identifying whether water and energy impacts are being considered and accounted for in a coupled manner during the selection of the mine’s water management strategy. In addition, an early attempt to benchmark the […]

Unconventional hydrocarbon require novel technologies to improve the recovery factor of the vast reserves in North America. An alternative to increase the reserves is enhanced oil recovery (EOR). EOR is a technique that reduce capillary effects and/or improve the mobility ratio by the injection of materials not normally present in the reservoir. This summer research […]

The province of Manitoba has many lime/soda water treatment plants unable to meet the latest provincial quality standards for chlorine disinfection by-products – trihalomethanes (THMs). As a result, many municipalities are looking for other alternatives. One suitable alternative is a dual membrane plant using ultrafiltration and nanofiltration (NF). Typical surface water sources in Manitoba contain […]

Au fil du temps, les bâtiments génèrent de grandes quantités de données d’opération. À l’heure actuelle, celles-ci sont peu ou pas exploitées. Pourtant, les différents acteurs de l’industrie sont d’avis que ces mégadonnées pourraient cacher des informations utiles pour améliorer la conception et l’opération des différents systèmes du bâtiment, mais les meilleures façons de le […]

Iterative learning control (ILC) is an approach to improve the performance of a system that carries out the same operation repeatedly. It stores error and control output throughout every iteration, and incorporates the stored information into generating new control output. In a cavity resonator, a standing wave electromagnetic field is formed to accelerate charged particles […]

Crosslight Software Inc. is a leading provider of technology CAD (TCAD) tools for the design and simulation of semiconductor devices. They are specialized in innovative III-V compound materials which are considered as the next generation materials for power semiconductor devices.

Le Canada est un leader international en trampoline depuis plusieurs olympiades. Afin de maintenir ces performances, il convient d’innover dans les techniques des saltos vrillés. En collaboration avec l’INS Québec, nous allons créer, pour des trampolinistes, une variété de techniques optimales de vrilles aériennes au moyen de simulation informatique. Le défi est de développer 1) […]

L’organisation partenaire Logi-D offre des solutiolls d’automatisation de la chaine logistiquc pour les h0pitaux, dont Ie produit 2BIN-iD, pour lequel la […]

The remote First Nations communities of Canada suffer from a dire lack of access to emergency response systems and services during times of crises. They lack access to life-saving services such as paramedics, 911 services, and search and rescue services due to their geographic isolation. This often puts them in grave danger and results in […]

Tracking the component configuration and modifications to aircraft within the commercial airline business presents a challenge for manufacturers such as Bombardier with currently available methods. This research problem is significant to the aerospace industry to construct efficient maintenance schedules for different aircraft and to properly evaluate system reliability for safety purposes. The objective of this […]
