In this project, a series of highly efficient and highly selective multifunctional Guerbet catalysts are developed and will be investigated for the condensation of low alcohols to high alcohols in a continuous-flow reactor. Low energy density bioethanol and methanol will be upgraded to n-butanol and iso-butanol with high energy content comparable to gasoline with high […]

Histopathology is the study and examination of tissue slides under magnification and is the definitive diagnosis for many diseases including cancer. With the advent of whole-slide scanners and image management software systems, computational pathology tools can be created to measure disease in an efficient and objective manner. This is in contrast to the labourious and […]

La fatigue des matériaux est un phénomène d’endommagement. Ce dernier a donc un impact négatif sur les équipements qui sont sollicités de telle sorte dont les turbines hydrauliques servant à produire l’hydro-électricité. Il devient donc nécessaire d’enrichir les connaissances dans ce domaine pour diminuer l’importance de cette dégradation sur des composants aussi critiques que les […]

An innovative tool is proposed to integrate agile risk, alert, team, safety, and digital data infrastructure management into a Micro Engineering Tech Inc. (METI) current structural health monitoring system (SHM), mobile mapping system (MMS), and building information modeling (BIM) that will be called Agile Monitoring Tool. Agile Monitoring Tool includes a comprehensive project management software […]

The project is focusing on developing a silica breccia product having a superior reactivity that allows this product to be used widely as an alternative supplementary cementing material in cement mixtures. The new developed silica breccia product will be tested for effectiveness as a supplementary cementing material based on the Canadian Standard Association (CSA) test […]

In this project the intern will develop an intelligent virtual concierge and integrate it with Curatio’s social network platform. The intelligent concierge will learn about each user over time and act as a personal assistant of the user in using the social network platform.

Data collection, recording, and monitoring meteorological, hydrological data is very critical worldwide. Metrological/Hydrological stations usually have a variety of sensors and nstruments whick are often manufactured by different companies that are set to work with other products of those manufacturers. However, each manufacturer indirectly prefers to set each sensor/instruments with its only other products. This […]

La gestion des rejets et stériles miniers constitue un défi grandissant auquel doit faire face le monde minier. Les ouvrages de restauration doivent être conçus pour résister dans le temps à court, moyen et long termes faces aux instabilités physiques, chimiques ou climatiques. Le site Manitou, ancienne mine de cuivre et de zinc, a longtemps […]

To estimate the market value of a real estate, a computer software program can produce the result by analyzing the location, market conditions, and other characteristics relevant to it. This is known as the “automated valuation model (AVM)”. The previous Mitacs Accelerate project with “Data Nerds” has conducted a series of experiments with the attributes […]

The first step for any robot to achieve true autonomy is to create a map of its surroundings and localize itself within this map at the same time. This is popularly known as the Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) problem. Although much theory has been developed over the years to solve the SLAM problem, researchers […]
