The next generation of engines will needs to comply with increasing stringent pollutant emissions legislation. These engines will also have to be able to accept a wide range of gaseous fuel composition and have the capability to operate on liquid fuel either for emergency backup or for full baseload operation. Additionally, they will need to […]

In 1995, proportions of several stocks of Fraser River sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) began to enter the Fraser River system early to spawn creating uncertainty in mortality and spawning abundance estimates. This has created large problems for fisheries management in their attempt to protect less abundant stocks. To address this issue, Fisheries and Oceans Canada […]

The majority of individuals (80% of the population) have been infected with polyomavirus BK (BKV), but are asymptomatic or have only endured mild symptoms. The virus then resides in the kidneys where it persists in a dormant state for the life of the individual. The virus can, however, become reactivated in the case of deep […]

L’émergence des réseaux électriques intelligents appelle les compagnies d’électricité, telles qu’Hydro-Québec, à intégrer les réseaux de télécommunications au réseau électrique afin d’optimiser la distribution d’énergie. L’intégration de dispositifs électroniques intelligents (DEI) dans les postes électriques rendrait possible l’interaction à distance avec l’équipement de puissance. La technologie sans fil est un candidat sérieux qui permet une […]

Invasive plants represent a major threat to the economy and environment, with annual economic costs in North America estimated at $30-40 billion CDN. Aquatic invasives rank among the most destructive, affecting recreational activities such as boating, fishing and swimming, displacing native vegetation, slowing down water flow and altering oxygen levels. Flowering rush (Butomus umbellatus) is […]

The research project will investigate and analyze a range of existing site and building conditions that may require upgrading and/or conservation at the existing Leacock Museum, former home of Canadian humourist, Stephen Leacock. The site is a National Historic Site, located in Orillia, Ontario. Research will be focused on: barrier free accessibility; exterior cladding; exterior […]

The human pathogenic bacteria Salmonella enterica and Campylobacter jejuni are commonly found in the intestine of poultry. Consumption of infected chicken and eggs, and its derivatives, is the main and most important source of infection outbreaks in humans and causing diarrhoea, fevers and abdominal cramps. In some cases, severe diarrhea and dehydration followed by systemic […]

The diversity of Canada’s major cities is well-known. However, this diversity is not reflected in the leadership of the public and non-profit boards in these cities. This research is part of a national project in six Canadian cities (London, Hamilton, Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver) that will study the representation of visible minorities and immigrants […]

La demande grandissante en graphite des dernières années, notamment dans le domaine des technologies vertes, a favorisé l’exploration pour cette substance. Dans cette optique, l’ancienne mine Miller, qui fût probablement la première mine de graphite en opération au Canada, fait présentement l’objet de travaux d’exploration. La qualité exceptionnelle du graphite qu’on y retrouve, ainsi que […]

The aim of this MITACS project is to assess technology and market trends for introduction thermal storage solution(s) (TSS) for automotive and particularly for long-haul trucks applications. Technological breakthroughs in the automotive cooling systems arena are clearly influenced by the introduction of stricter standards on emissions and the requirement for reduced fuel consumption. Idling limitation […]

The role of this internship is to assist in reaching the SSHRC goal for the Dreamcatcher system of capturing cultural data, traditional ecological knowledge, and traditional land use, creating as full a historical, cultural, and economic record as possible, as well as strong land use management/consultation, water and asset management, and public health systems. This […]
