Creating smart indoor environments that detect and understand human daily life activities is attracting significant amount of attention, due to their huge potential impact on context-aware technologies. Aerial Technologies, our partner organization, is developing products that provide device-free indoor localization and activity recognition Wi-Fi signals generated by off-the-shelf Wi-Fi enabled devices. This project will use […]

The Decar nickel deposit is located in British Columbia. With more than 2 billion tons of reserves grading 0.2% Ni the deposit represents a significant resources. 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 […]

In this project, the intern will have the opportunity to work in Perten Instruments Canada and Carbohydrate Chemistry and Utilization Laboratory at the University of Saskatchewan to use the latest model of one instrument (Rapid Visco Analyzer 4800; developed by Perten Instruments) to evaluate the functionality of starch and flour ingredients. The new instrument has […]

Ce projet vise à optimiser l’encadrement des élèves-athlètes faisant parti d’un programme de type Sport-études au secondaire, dans le but de favoriser leur développement positif. Le projet vise spécifiquement à évaluer les connaissances et les pratiques professionnelles des intervenants scolaires (entraîneurs et enseignants) et les besoins des élèves-athlètes concernant les thèmes suivants: les comportements alimentaires, […]

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) represent a global water quality issue of increasing importance. HABs, often dominated by cyanobacteria, produce unsightly growth, noxious compounds, and toxins that impair aquatic ecosystems for recreational and drinking water use. The drivers of HABs are not well characterized, which has led to the minimal success of management efforts to date. […]

The joint objective of the consortium is to undertake R&D necessary to produce a scalable, cost-effective combined hydrogen storage and fuel cell solution for UAV’s that addresses weight and volume and improves refueling logistics. The novel hydrogen storage system will be combined with a high-power density optimized fuel cell stack for UAV’s that integrates with […]

The objective of the research is to provide international development agencies and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) with decision making and evaluation tools that are practical and, at the same time, are based on sound academic foundations. These tools are specific to a sector, such as nutrition, and a country, such as Guatemala. The resulting documents will […]

The initiative is best described as two interwoven threads: mapping renewable energy potentials at the landscape scale, and using these maps to engage local stakeholders in a dialogue to identify acceptable locations for particular kinds of RE development. The Project Team will use the Town of Caledon, located in the Region of Peel, and the […]

New generation of civil transport aircraft can present aeroelastic coupling between flight mechanics and structural dynamics. The lower-frequency flexible dynamics can be perceptible by a fly-by-wire controller. This requires control law design that take into account the flexible dynamics. Robust control techniques have been investigated over the past 20 years for this purpose. They result […]

Solink Corporation is a video analytic company that transcribes video streams into searchable metadata. Their flagship solution, Searchlight, proactively monitors, identifies and alerts investigators of suspicious activity at ATMs to reduce fraud and improve customer experience. Solink’s current ATM Skimming detection product (Searchlight) analyzes both transaction and video at an ATM to detect suspicious activity […]

This research will focus on the development of recycling solutions for laminated particleboard after services. To effectively recycle the wood particles from the used particleboard as suitable raw material, it needs to remove the cured adhesives from particleboard, usually urea-formaldehyde (UF) resins. It is well known that cured UF resins are susceptible to hydrolysis so […]

Offshore Newfoundland is an ice-prone environment which holds valuable natural resources. Better understanding of the ice environment and ice characteristics in this region is essential for safe and economical offshore activities. In this proposed research, we aim to develop advanced models that provide a deeper understanding of some aspects of ice dynamics and deterioration and […]
