L’objectif à long terme de ce projet de recherche est de mettre au point un vaccin universel contre le virus de la grippe. Pour ce faire, nous developperons un procédé de manufacture d’une protéine du virus influenza et tenterons d’améliorer son immunogénicité en augmentant sa complexicité via la formation de nanoparticules. Des essais d’immmunisation et […]

The objective of this project is to develop and test a first aid training program using Augmented Reality (AR), a technology that superimposes computer-generated animations on a user’s view of the real world, in the context of lifesaving education. Education is an industry that is currently being transformed using the latest technologies. In the advancing […]

L’épinette noire est une espèce commerciale et des éclaircies sont couramment pratiquées pour en augmenter la productivité. Pourtant, les résultats ne sont pas toujours ceux escomptés. Il est important de comprendre pourquoi l’effet sur la croissance peut parfois être absent. Chez le pin gris, il a été démontré que la réponse à l’éclaircie commerciale était […]

The fish processing industry produces a high level of fish waste (head, bones, skin, fins, etc.) which is often discarded in landfills. This underutilized biomass waste stream has potential to be upgraded through hydrolysis to be used an organic fertilizer. Eberts Fur Farm Inc. currently obtains fish waste from a local food supplier to use […]

In recent years, many energy producers have developed wind farms in Alberta due to their economic and environmental advantages. One of the most significant challenges of wind farms is that wind is an intermittent resource that is uncontrollable and difficult to predict. As such, wind developers are looking to develop electric energy storage (EES) systems […]

Hot summers and cold winters present a significant challenge for affordable housing. Effective utilization of solar energy for thermal comfort provides an environmentally sustainable solution to reduce utility bills. The objective of this research project is to investigate alternative solar technologies that can be combined with a thermal energy storage system and air source heat […]

An area of exploration that can lead to a critical improvement in the way first responders can better respond to situations (e.g., fires, shootings, etc.) in indoor scenarios is in the development of intelligent indoor mapping systems that provide critical navigation details to the first responders. This enables first responders to not only plan out […]

À Buenos Aires, alors même qu’aucun consensus n’avait été atteint sur la question de l’agenda de négociation, certains Membres ont constitué des groupes de travail ouverts sur de nouvelles questions. On appelle les nouvelles Initiaitves de Buenos Aires. Celles-ci concernent 1) les MPME, 2) l’investissement et 3) le commerce électronique. Ce projet de recherche vise […]

This project will ‘bring to market’ a new and innovative fishery by-product business in Grand Rapids/Misipawistik Cree Nation. This business is significant for Grand Rapids/Misipawistik Cree Nation as it will enhance the viability of fisheries in this community, enhance food security for those enjoying healthy and affordable fish products and stimulate economic development in northern […]

This research will enable Red Sucker Lake (RSL) First Nation members to monitor RSL territory, lands and waterways and document Indigenous knowledge systems (IKS), including cultural aspects as well as environmental assessment, by video, maps and workshop teachings. In the process, Elders and Knowledge keepers will not only honour their cultural traditions but also train […]

The objective is to develop a Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) algorithm to be implemented on the tractor-trailer type vehicle used in the AIS called a Cart Puller. This vehicle is to work fully autonomously in a nursery farm, while carrying planted pots (loaded onto the plant carts) toward their loading stations. By using SLAM, […]

The Fisheries and Marine Institute of Memorial University is partnering with Grieg Seafood Newfoundland to provide 9 internships to students from the Advanced Diploma in Sustainable Aquaculture graduating class of 2021. The proposed project seeks to provide HQPs to assist Grieg in optimizing the novel equipment and systems that will be installed in their land-based […]
