Le présent projet de recherche vise à identifier, puis éliminer les défauts produits dans les zones de fixation des panneaux composites de l’ameublement intérieur des avions d’affaires. Le projet visera à établir un lien entre ces défauts de surface, la polymérisation de la résine époxy, les inserts mécaniques utilisés et les variations hygro-thermiques de l’environnement. […]

This project aims to operationalize innovative methods for developing cost effective wetland inventories across Alberta by use of numerous sources of remote sensing data, namely light detection and ranging (LiDAR), synthetic aperture Radar (SAR), and optical imagery. The project will formalize a mapping specification, develop training and validation datasets (available in-kind from the academic supervisor […]

Heart disease and stroke are the leading causes of death and prescription drug use in Canada. In 2011, it was estimated that 1.6 million Canadians are living with heart disease or the effects of a stroke. One person every 7 minutes dies from heart disease or stroke in Canada. The purpose of this clinical trial […]

Teck Resources Limited is searching for a method to characterize and quantify the heterogeneity of ore based on numerous parameters. Naturally, when characterizing an ore body’s heterogeneity, the variability in the deposit can contribute towards the sortability of the deposit. The main objective of this research is to investigate a method to quantify the sortability […]

The proposed project aims to develop a systematic approach for improving deep-learning-based computer vision systems by augmenting the local pixel data with the global shape data (more specifically, Jordan curves) and by adjusting system architectures to accommodate the augmented input. Three canonical computer vision problems will be investigated in this project. They are respectively image […]

Monitoring dairy cows individually around the time of calving and during lactation has the potential to identify calving difficulties or cows at risk of developing disease, as well as cows in estrus to create alerts for dairy farmers. Therefore, there has been an increase in research investigating methods to accurately predict timing of calving, disease […]

Notre projet vise à intégrer l’utilisation des outils web 2.0 en tant que nouveaux médiums de communication interactifs, dans les pratiques d’une firme d’ingénieurs conseil. Le contexte de notre intervention sera de soutenir le processus de mise en marché d’un projet de développement immobilier innovant. Notre objectif sera de démontrer la pertinence de l’exploitation des […]

Greater physical activity and exercise is associated with better overall health and a reduced risk of many chronic conditions, but most of the Canadian population is insufficiently active. Physicians reach a large proportion of the population but experience barriers such as of time that prevent them from providing tailored exercise advice, as such they are […]

Inspired by patterns in the eye of the moth, nanostructures can be created on the surface of glass, allowing all light to transmit through the glass without any interference. Applied on lenses, low light photography is enhanced. Applied on electronic displays, the technology enables sunlight readable screens. Applied on photovoltaics, more light enters the solar […]

Global pollution emissions contribute to climate change and are damaging to health. In many industrial applications that produce particulate matter, devices such as cyclones are used to separate and capture the particles from the exhaust gas. However, these do not capture the very small, but hazardous, particles and so expensive and energy-intensive secondary systems have […]

Diabetic Neuropathy is a decrease of the perceptive ability of pressure changes and is a devastating consequence of type two Diabetes. Neuropathy can result in ulcers, infection, amputation, and death. Providing alternative feedback about pressure distributions in the foot is an innovative, low cost way to help reduce high level pressures resulting in ulceration. In […]

Automotive Open System Architecture (AUTOSAR) is a system-level standard that is used worldwide by the automotive companies and their suppliers to develop the standardized software development framework for automobiles [1]. The basic software of AUTOSAR should be configured to develop an Electronic Control Unit (ECU). The information to configure the basic software is given in […]
