Concrete elements are extensively used in urban structures including high-rises, bridges, dams and tunnels, and testing their quality and monitoring their health is of extremely high importance in the industry. In this project, use of piezoelectric transducers along with wireless communication and memory elements is suggested to overcome the limitations with the current methods. Piezoelectric […]

This project enhances the impact of a basic tool for early stage design decisions such as orientation,and building envelope composition on energy performance of the building. The proposed project adds the capabilities of the basic tool to drive, not only decisions regarding the design articulation of the building envelope, but also the design of the […]

Arthritis is a chronic disease that severely decreases the quality of life and affects almost 4.6 million Canadians, costing $33 billion for the Canadian economy every year. Affected individuals experience pain and disability through an extended period of time. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a common form of arthritis, is an autoimmune disease characterized by the inflammation […]

As smart home and artificial intelligence technologies are developing rapidly, smart home devices contribute to better living quality and safer spaces. These smart devices are intelligent agents. They receive a variety of signals through sensors placed in ecobee’s thermostats, light switches and other smart devices and controls the heating and cooling, lighting, as well as […]

Reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is an important global issue as GHGs from human activities are a significant contributor to global climate change. Greenhouse gases cause climate change such as rising average temperatures, extreme weather events. Carbon dioxide is the primary greenhouse gas, responsible for about three-quarters of emissions. This project aims to reduce global […]

De nombreux écosystèmes sur la terre sont encore extrêmement difficiles, voire impossibles, d’accès pour la communauté scientifique. Cela affecte considérablement la quantité et la qualité des recherches en cours, ainsi que les efforts de conservation pouvant être déployés. Ces environnements difficiles d’accès comprennent entre autres la canopée des forêts et les falaises. Pour atteindre la […]

Sour beers, traditionally made via spontaneous fermentation, are growing in popularity; particularly examples produced using the modern technique of mixed fermentation. These mixed fermentation beers present unique challenges during production. We hypothesize that by examining traditional process spontaneously fermented beer, we can identify new methods and strategies for improving the quality of mixed fermentation beers. […]

Coastal communities in British Columbia are economic hubs and gateways to marine resources. The health of these communities’ depends on having sustainable food systems. How these communities’ access and eat local marine foods can be threatened by economic and environmental pressures – including the impact global climate change has on marine environments. In order to […]

En milieu naturel, les guillemots marmettes, une espece d’oiseau marin, nichent en de tres fortes den sites. Les colonies. lors des saisons de reproduction. peuvent atteindre des millions d’individus et soutenir 20 couples au metre carre. La forte proximite des oiseaux provogue un melange d’oeufs entre les voisins. Bien que les guillemots peuvent reconnaitre leur […]

How do you support the fastest growing municipality in a largely rural region as it works through its growing pains? What happens in a rapidly growing community that’s been recognized as one of the best places to live as it tries to keep up with labour demands, changing demographics, and challenges to the enabling infrastructure […]

Adaptive driving beam (ADB) is an advance vehicle forward lighting system that automatically adapts its beam patterns to create a non-glare zone around oncoming and preceding vehicles. The purpose of ADB system is to produce good long-range visibility for driver without causing discomfort glare to other road users. The non-glare zone of current ADB system […]
