We envision a future where it will be possible to lavish the same attention on individual plants in a large prairie crop farm as one might on those in a backyard garden. As camera sensors shrink in size, and self-driving vehicles continue to improve, such an idea is no longer the realm of science fiction. […]

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a new emerging paradigm and is rapidly gaining ground in different applications of significant engineering importance including but not limited to smart buildings, and smart public environments. The main enabling factor of this promising paradigm is integration of identification, localization, and navigation technologies with smart hand-held devices equipped with […]

In Canada, the transportation sector is the second largest greenhouse gas (GHG) emitter and a large contributor to air pollution emissions, which can cause significant health impacts. Since electric vehicle (EV) does not generate any exhaust emissions, introducing EVs can bring health and climate co-benefits to society. From a life cycle perspective, this study will […]

Des cornières en carton sont utilisées pour la protection des angles de colis ou de palettes, pendant leurs manutentions (chargement, transport, etc.). Elles jouent un rôle important dans le renforcement de la résistance à l’empilement des cartons. Le projet porte sur une amélioration des propriétés des cornières fabriquées par Abzac. Les différentes tâches seront les […]

Over the decades use of Electric Arc Furnaces (EAF) in steel production has grown dramatically. However, EAF operation involves relatively low level of automation and multivariable interactions and subtle relationships that may be easily overlooked. Detailed process knowledge, in the form of a model, makes it possible to take advantage of more complex relationships to […]

Parkinson’s disease is most highly recognized by tremors of the hands that occur in those afflicted with the disease. Though the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease involving motor function begin with very slight tremors of the hands, they further develop into issues such as difficulty swallowing, severe postural problems and extremely limited mobility. In this proposal, […]

By making life skills education more game-like, we propose to help young adults improve valuable life skills and feel empowered in their choices. There is a growing body of evidence to show that adding game elements into non-game contexts, a persuasive strategy known as gamification, is effective at improving students’ motivation and skill learning. In […]

Adults exposed to screens for prolonged periods of time have complained of shoulder-neck discomfort. Ergonomic solutions can help prevent the development of computer work-related pains later on in life as young adults move on to careers in an office or administrative setting. Many computer users have also expressed eye strain. As a response, ergonomic computer […]

Outre Ie developpement d’outils de quantification, ce projet vise a developper un inoculant multi-especes capables d’etre plus performant dans certaines conditions de culture du maIs dans I’Est du Canada. En effet, bien que des inoculants mycorhiziens commerciaux soient de plus en plus presents sur Ie marche canadien, ils ne sont pas necessairement adaptes a toutes […]

Indigenous communities, especially those in remote locations, experience much higher rates of energy poverty than the rest of British Columbians. Energy poverty occurs when an individual allocates a disproportionately high percentage of their income towards household energy costs. The negative repercussions of energy poverty are not only economic, but also social, physical and environmental. Activities […]

La recherche proposée vise à améliorer le rendement des PME fromagères québécoises. Des modèles de pilotage et de valorisation des données d’exploitation seront développés pour la prise de décisions basés sur des données probantes en temps réel. Cette recherche permettra de développer un modèle d’exploitation des fromageries, commun et optimisé, qui inclura l’identification de différents […]

The aim of this research and development project is to design and develop a bedside point-of-care device to be equipped with the CardiAI’s machine learning technology for heart failure management. Our POC system will include disposable cardiac biomarker strips and an electronic reader. Once implemented, it will be connected to the AI platform that will […]
