Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are powering a myriad of electronic and electric devices. There are many types of LIBs used for various applications including electric vehicles, electronics, and stationary energy storage. They are mostly based on lithiumcobalt cathodic compounds. Conversely, lithium iron phosphate (LFP) is a cobalt free cathodic material that is preferred over cobalt based […]

In order to investigate proteins in their natural environment one can attach tiny reporter molecules to them that can be traced with appropriate instruments. However, these small reporter molecules may often cause strong perturbations to the functionality of the proteins, or cannot be seen due to experimental restrictions like low concentrations. Bioorthogonal chemistry aims to […]

The project consists in developing a design procedure for beam-column-bracing connection using welded end plates. This type of connection is simpler to fabricate, however, at present, the design standards do not specifically provide for their design calculations.

Aid in the development of a Machine Learning Model for utilization by an Agricultural Robot. This Robot performs several tasks, primarily the mechanical removal of weeds from vegetable farms. Therefore, the machine learning model is concerned with informing the robot of locations of interest points of the weed and crop plants, as viewed from several […]

Le vibro-remplacement est une technique d’amelioration des sols proposee par Geopac Inc. qui consiste a inserer dans Ie sol des colonnes ballastees pour les renforcer. L’utilisation de cette technique est relativement recente au Quebec, OU I’on peut trouver des sols difficiles a traiter. L’objet de ce projet est I’etude theorique du processus de vibro-remplacement, afin […]

Le secteur du transport représente le plus important contributeur d’émissions de gaz à effet de serre (Hoornweg et al., 2011; United Nations, 2020). Parmi l’ensemble des moyens de transport (routier, aérien, maritime), c’est le transport routier qui pèse le plus dans la balance en matière de quantités de CO2 émises dans l’atmosphère. Dans une démarche […]

This project will allow Apollogreen and Loyalist College’s Applied Research Centre (ARC) to establish expertise based on a new analytical approach of cannabinoids at an early growth stage, allowing them to analyse and select cultivars to be commercially grown based on the sought after components for specific applications of licenced producers. This analytical process uses […]

A review of current literature will be used to develop an enhanced record of knowledge on the topic of lost fishing gear in British Columbia; specifically looking at the socio-economic and ecological impacts, regionally applicable case study solutions, best practice framework recommendations, and current policies on environmental management of marine debris in Canada. Results will […]

The production of biogas via the anaerobic digestion of organic waste is a growing industry in Canada. One benefit of this approach is that the resultant organic waste (digestate) can be dewatered and used as fertilizer; however, the removed water fraction remains rich in organic compounds and must be adequately treated before being discharged from […]

The project will aim at collecting and studying 5G wireless network data latency to a) find ways to improve latency results (reduction, avoidance of peaks, etc.) and b) identify methods to optimize the distribution of network or application function within the network (i.e. find the optimal location of a function in a network ranging from […]

AMCO requires improvements to the alternate energy systems that cannot be supported by operating profits alone. This project is essential to ensure the company remains viable and that the company does not shut down the Biomass Plant and absorb such debt in its current operations. The project will increase the amount of green energy production […]

This project is a collaboration between researchers from the Simon Fraser University and industry partners, Lifelike & Believable Animation Design and Animatrik Film Design. Its goal is to research and develop machine learning techniques for capturing and analyzing movement data in real-time to support the world’s first immersive in-game 3D simulcast of a live, real-time […]
