Development of Empirical Costing Models and Project Planning Tools for Mine Development and Services for Underground Mines

This project aims to develop cost estimation models using data analytics and machine learning techniques. In addition, throughout project execution, cost control and monitoring approaches will be further explored. These approaches will benefit from Work breakdown structures (WBS) and Enterprise Resource Planning models (ERP). Finally, the research will focus on developing project planning and management […]

Microturbine for Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Off-grid Communities

Based on a 2006 census, it is estimated that Canada has 300 remote communities with a?total population of 200,000 people that are not connected to the North American electrical grid.?The primary source of electrical power and heating in Canadian remote communities is predominantly using diesel generators. Most of the diesel generators have been sized when […]

Optimization of Isolation and Purification of the Microbe-to-Plant Signal Bacillin 20 from Bacillus thuringiensis

Plants are always associated with a well-coordinated and beneficial community of microbes – the phytomicrobiome; this plus the associated plant forms the holobiont, the entity that provides crop yield. There is considerable communication between the phytomicrobiome and the plant, often through signal compounds. Bacillin 20 is a small protein (a peptide) produced by a Bacillus […]

Using Phase Field Modelling and Machine Learning to Develop a Microstructure Design Platform for Hydraulic Turbine Steels

Materials fatigue has a detrimental impact upon the lifetime and cost-effectiveness of turbine equipment in Hydro-Québec’s energy production division. Metal fatigue, in turn, is linked to it internal microstructure, that developed in a metal during its fabrication or repair through welding, as is often done to damaged hydroelectric turbine blades that break during operation. The […]

Développer une stratégie de commercialisation d’une fintech qui rend plus accessible des subventions pour les personnes handicapées

Terry vise a aider les personnes vivant avec un handicap à bénéficier des subventions disponible avec le régime enregistré d’épargne-invalidité (REEI). Avec notre technologie, nous facilitons le processus d’ouverture ce régime canadien. Ce régime donne plus de 90 000$ de subvention du gouvernement mais il est estimé que seulement 30% des Canadiens admissible en bénéficient. […]

Is correction of malnutrition sufficient to improve low physical function before elective colorectal cancer surgery? A randomized controlled trial of nutrition vs nutrition and exercise prehabilitation

Bowel cancers and diseases are treated with surgery. But recovery from surgery is difficult. Patients can experience long hospital stays, complications after surgery, and a delay in the return of their usual daily activities. The 6-min walk distance (6MWD) is a test performed before surgery to evaluate physical fitness. If a patient is unable to […]
