La compagnie XEOS Imagerie oeuvre dans le domaine de l’acquisition de données lidar (Light Detection and Ranging). Elle désire extraire automatiquement les points associés au sol et aux objets à partir du nuage de points 3D brut de l’acquisition lidar. La procédure actuelle pour classifier les points repose sur une combinaison d’algorithmes spécialisés et d’interprétation […]

Sanofi Pasteur has established a cutting-edge facility for the production of different types of vaccines in Toronto. This state-of-the-art facility is comprised of various complex mixing operations, which play significant role in the vaccine production. Currently, there is lack of sufficient information about the hydrodynamics of these mixing units for the process validation. In this […]

La pandémie de Covid-19 qui fait actuellement rage est une urgence de santé publique de portée internationale qui touche l’ensemble de la population. Cette pandémie constitue une source d’isolement des citoyens qui peut engendrer différents effets psychologiques et de santé néfastes (augmentation de l’anxiété et du stress, diminution du niveau d’activité et de participation, etc.). […]

The subject of this research project is the innovative and proprietary Liquid-Solid Circulating Fluidized Bed (LSCFB) technology that achieves Continuous Fluidized Ion Exchange (C.F.I.X.). This patented technology combines the benefits of fluidization with uninterrupted continuous resin regeneration to provide increased production efficiency and capacity. The main objective of the project is to study particle flow […]

This project will undertake the development of a cost-effective, continuous monitoring, wireless temperature sensor. The sensor development undertaken with NURO will integrate the hardware with software algorithms designed to track and deliver a simple output for healthcare monitoring. The device is anticipated to be employed for tracking of COVID-19 in front line workers by monitoring […]

Despite the stigma attached to single-room occupancy (SRO) housing, it can provide good quality, low-cost housing. However, the high cost of upgrading to meet zoning and other regulations, and the low rents that tenants can afford, make it difficult to manage and maintain. As a result, SRO housing is always at risk of gentrification and […]

The goal of this project is to understand how habitat enhancements, such as semi-natural or natural native managed hedgerows, grass margins, and grassland set-asides impact both pollination and pest control in berry fields in the Delta, BC region. Our hypothesis is that the inclusion of these natural habitats will promote beneficial insect diversity. Beneficial insects […]

In this project, in order to analyze aerial deposition of contaminants resulting from oil and gas activities in west-central Alberta, samples of snowpack will be collected from the Fox Creek area for chemical analysis. Using the chemical analyses results, a map of the contaminants deposition and their potential sources of release will be delineated. The […]

Real-time distributed groupware systems are becoming common, but real-time interaction is still poorly supported, particularly on mobile devices. The problem to be addressed in this project is that current mobile groupware systems do not provide adequate support for high speed tightly-coupled interaction. The two main activities will be to evaluate the capabilities of mobile devices […]

Krate Distributed Information Systems Inc. (Krate) and Saskatchewan Polytechnic (SP) are developing an advanced encryption module that will integrate with the distributed computer platform of fellow startup Distributed Compute Labs (DCL). DCL’s distributed computer is already functional and in use by scientists and researchers across Canada. This module will equip DCL’s distributed computer with the […]

L’industrie minières ne cesse de développer les moyens lui permettant d’améliorer à la fois la sécurité de ces travailleur et l’efficacité de sa productivité. L’usage des véhicules connectés et automatisés (CAV) représente la future étape transformatrice de cette industrie lui permettant d’atteindre ces deux objectifs toute en permettent à celle-ci de prendre le virage de […]

Until an effective vaccine becomes widely available for COVID-19, a frequent home test of the coronavirus on a weekly basis might become a new norm. Therefore, developing rapid, accurate, stable, and cost-effective tests is critical for combatting the spread of COVID-19 over the long term. Aptamers are single-stranded DNA oligonucleotides that can be selected from […]
