Pile foundations have been widely used in many offshore structures and oil and gas development programs such as tension leg platform, jack up platform, spar platform, and mooring of floating production, storage and offloading units (FPSO) units. The FPSO units are usually moored to the seabed with various kinds of anchors, including offshore piles. These […]

The project will research software and models of plume migration for subsea oil and gas productions. Plume migration is important because when a leak takes place subsea, it needs to set off a sensor, and to do that for point sensors, the product must come near the sensor. Knowing how oil will move under water […]

  Smart Phones are fast becoming ever-present personal assistants – personal assistants which become more useful and productive with the inclusion of Natural Language Processing power. For many users, smart phones have become their go-to device for industry news feeds, checking email, and scheduling their agenda. The sheer quantity of text which is read on […]

The proposed project seeks to develop a transit terminal assessment tool that can be used to provide safer and more efficient service to passengers. The objective is to provide the industrial partner with a specifically designed and calibrated analysis tool that can be used estimate the impact of passenger movements around the terminal platforms on […]

The present aim of this study is to use an infrared thermography technique to non-destructively measure the three-dimensional surface stress field in a synthetic femur fracture model repaired with a new composite plate vs a clinically-used metal plate. To this end, there are three main phases of this study. First, the infrared thermography system will […]

The brain is a dynamically evolving structure. Rehabilitation interventions take advantage of its malleable properties that persist even after an injury from stroke. Various interventions are used in clinical practice at an attempt to restore normal activity in the brain. Non-invasive brain stimulation is a novel technique that may act as a facilitator of brain […]

  Shale gas plays are becoming progressively more important in the energy market as gas production from these reservoirs is increasing. With the advances in exploitation technology gas production from shale has become more viable and economic. Based on previous studies southwestern Manitoba can be a good candidate for extracting gas from shale formations at […]
