The Decar Nickel District is located in British Columbia. With more than 2 million tonnes of Ni, the district represents a significant resource. The nickel occurs in an uncommon mineral awaruite which is an alloy of nickel and iron. Due to its strong ferro-magnetic properties and high density (SG 8.0) it should be easily recoverable […]

Product documentation is an important information tool connecting any business to its end-users and customers. Comprehensive product documentation will likely result in positive evaluation of the products by the customers and may influence their future purchasing decisions. Many studies show product documentation remains an essential element of any new product even for modern electronic devices […]

Champion Pet Foods is a prominent pet food manufacturer in Canada. They manufacture high-end high quality dry pet food products. They are interested to use new processing technologies to eliminate the harmful bacteria from their products without damaging their quality. At University of Alberta, we are testing the effectiveness of new technologies such as atmospheric […]

In this internship, mathematics will be used to predict chemical changes in materials that are deposited on paper during high-speed printing. These changes result from light-induced photocuring of acrylate and diacrylate monomers, converting liquid monomers deposited on the paper into a solid polymer matrix. In previous mathematical models, unrealistic simplifying assumptions were made concerning the […]

Le stagiaire participera a la mise au point d’un vaccin sous-unitaire, a administration orale, contre deux pathogimes d’importance pour la filiere porcine canadienne, a savoir Salmonella el Streptococcus suis. II s’agit d’un vaecin utilisant des p rol!~ ines recombinantes immunogenes encapsulees dans des microspheres polymeriques, permeltant un relargage progressif des protE~ in es au niveau […]

This project intents to design and build a prototype for a device that uses low-intensity ultrasound for localized treatment of malignant skin cells. The industrial partner is interested on evaluate the performance of a current cosmetic device and the feasibility to use a device with similar characteristics to treat malignancy. We propose to first characterize […]

After identifying elevated metal concentrations in two seepages from a waste rock pile at Mount Polley Mine, an investigation was launched to determine the potential source as well as the implications for potential treatment. Evidence points to a previously unidentified source of acid mobilizing metals from the waste rock pile and being neutralized along the […]

It is difficult to perform the dynamic analysis on large scale power systems within a desirable time frame. Most utilities therefore resort to reduce the scale of power system by representing the external system using an equivalent network. This project proposal in conjunction with Manitoba HVDC Research Centre aims to develop simulation based methods complemented […]

This research aims to identify, develop and evaluate software tools that increase usability of I-CubeX sensor instrumentation for research and application in both interactive media as well as behavioural science. The complexity that impeded usability concerns various aspects: sensor and interface management (location, state, etc.), sensor and actuator transmission protocols (analog, digital, etc.), sensor signal […]

The purpose of this project is to conduct a document review of select philanthropic foundations to investigate the policies and practices used by foundations to address DEI. The intern will also lead knowledge generation and knowledge mobilizations activities in the form of issue briefs and learning sessions to engage foundation staff and board members to […]

Les eaux usees municipales sont traitees par des procedes physico-chimiques, biologiques ou une combinaison des deux types, Le pretraitement des eaux arrivant a la station d’epuration (STEP) est necessaire pour proteger les equipements de procede. Le degrillage (enlevement des debris organiques grossiers de !’eau) et Ie dessablage (enlevement du sable de I’eau) sont deux procedes […]

This proposal is to accelerate the Aereus Technologies’ development of antimicrobial coatings. Antimicrobial coating has been becoming an effective solution to battle the hospital-acquired infections. Aereus Technologies is developing an antimicrobial coating consisting of marine paint and biocidal copper-alloy based microparticles. One of the key concerns for this new coating is that the microparticles are […]
