Biocrusts are soil crust communities made up of drought and cold tolerant soil dwelling biological communities. Biocrusts are predominant in landscapes inhospitable to vascular plants, such as deserts and tundra. This project will initiate and promote development of biocrusts on the Gibraltar mine tailings. The aim is to utilize the function of biocrusts in stabilizing […]

Modular and offsite construction, where a module of project or complete house is manufactured in a factory, requires a large upfront capital (working capital) investment in order to procure materials in advance of manufacturing and to deliver modules on time and on schedule. Thus, modular fabricators need to receive deposit and progress payment before the […]

Construction projects are complex, unstructured and dynamic. So accurate project progress monitoring has always been an essential part of the project control plan and one of the main challenges for project managers. In fact in order to deliver projects on time and within budget, progress monitoring can be taken in to account as a critical […]

The uses of Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) walls and facings have gained widespread acceptance in North America for the past 30 years, as evidenced by the numerous completed structures. Exposure of MSE walls and facings to aggressive conditions could lead to early failure, and areas exposed to de-icing salts tend to present conditions similar to […]

Today, physiotherapy balls or physioballs play an essential role in treating disability or body damages such as neck, waist, knee and so on. Despite their wide range of applications and importance, it is difficult to monitor the damaged member and propose continuous treatment in the presence of a physiotherapist or physician. This causes several problems […]

The Montney and the Duvernay formations, both are prolific low-permeability reservoirs currently developed using multi-fractured horizontal wells. Taking advantage of the enormous well database from these reservoirs, we aim to identify the key geological parameters controlling the well performance. Overall, a combination of nearly 40 different variables per well are known for affecting the reservoir […]

Recent rapid increase in the number of Chinese international students with English as a second language (ESL) attending Canadian schools has led to the exploration of in-service ESL teachers’ teaching strategies towards these students. Working with View-Wide International Education Group and using multiple case studies, this study will articulate the nature and challenges of ESL […]

The WaferBoard™ is a “waffle iron” for prototyping electronic systems. In the envisioned concept, the user simply place components in the WaferBoard™ and close the cover. ”WaferBoard™ then senses the component contacts and recognizes the components and interconnects them. The prototype is now ready to be brought up and run. The candidate will do research […]

Usually, any construction project begins with the planning department preparing a construction schedule that is pushed onto the project team. The big up-front plan might cause delays in the construction process because it relies on predicting a lot in the future, so you need frequent updating of this plan throughout the execution. Agile is a […]
