The US Environment Protection Agency (EPA), the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), and numerous other regulatory bodies in North America, Europe and Asia are collaborating on the development of programmes to test commercial chemicals, effluents, and (drinking) water resources for their potential to affect human and environmental health by interacting with the endocrine […]

La simulation en temps réel de système d’électronique de puissance et de réseau électrique exige de faibles pas de calcul afin d’obtenir une précision sur les phénomènes transitoires. Pour répondre au besoin de sa clientèle, OPAL-RT technologies offre des produits de pointe qui sont contraints par un problème non trivial, les délais de communication. La […]

The necessity of cost-efficient and reliable wastewater treatment processes has increased in order to meet more stringent levels of environmental regulations, increased system reliability requirements and tightening operational budgets. To aid in meeting these operational goals, a strong market for low-cost, high-fidelity sensor technology that can relay real-time information to system operators on all aspects […]

Human capital migration, or “brain drain” as it is more commonly known, is a long-debated subject in Canadian public policy. This process involves large-scale emigration of talented individuals, educated in one country, but who choose to work in other countries to seek out higher salaries, prestige or greater occupational mobility. While this phenomenon has been […]

Prostate cancer is the third leading cause of death from cancer in men in Canada. However, prostate cancer is highly treatable if diagnosed early. Unfortunately, due to lack of cost-effective and meaning test detecting the early presence of the cancer. Most prostate cancer (92%) are found when the career is spreading to nearby organs. This […]

Development of new and improved plant biotimulants through the combination of soil-borne bacteria like Pseudomonas chlororaphis PA23 should provide new opportunities for crop improvement in the Canadian Agri-Food market. The proposed MITACS Accelerate project will support collaborative research and develop synergies between industry and scientists at the University of Manitoba to investigate the effect an […]

In this project we are proposing a framework that uses wireless communication links to enable decentralized and real-time load flow analysis of distribution systems. This analysis is performed by smart agents installed at each bus in the distribution system. Using the outcome of this analysis we can perform decentralized real-time control. The proposed framework allows […]

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), formation of blood clot in deep vein usually in leg, has severe health complications that can lead to disability or death. Applying a cyclic pressure can improve blood circulation and may prevent DVT. This cyclic pressure can be implemented via mobile compression socks (MCS). However, MCS only apply static pressure, which […]

Les méthodes de recouvrements et/ou amendement organiques sont privilégiés pour limiter l’oxygène ou l’eau d’atteindre les résidus réactifs et de générer du drainage minier acide (DMA) ou de drainage neutre contaminé (DNC). Ils permettent de valoriser des matériaux peu coûteux et disponibles à proximités des parcs à résidus ainsi que de favoriser la revégétation. Toutefois, […]

This project focuses on using blockchain technology and smart contracts to manage the health care data access. Blockchain is the distributed ledger based on verified transactions, and the smart contract is the programmable part of the blockchain which can automate more complex transactions. Blockchain provides a secure and durable distributed database to store data accesses […]

L’Automatisation Robotisée de Processus (ARP) est une approche efficace pour améliorer la productivité des organisations par l’automatisation des tâches répétitives. La mise en oeuvre de l’approche ARP est peu coûteuse et facile à réaliser (Willcocks & Lacity, 2016). Cependant, aucune étude n’a porté spécifiquement sur l’élaboration d’une approche permettant aux organisations d’adopter efficacement l’ARP pour […]

The dewatering systems in the FortisBC hydropower generation facilities need long-term rehabilitation solutions. The purpose of this project is to develop a risk assessment model for the dewatering systems of hydropower generation facilities, and to identify the best long-term rehabilitation solutions for such facilities. Recommendation on long-term maintenance and rehabilitation will be provided on the […]
