The West Bolton SNAP project will test methods for increasing the number of suburban households undertaking home energy retrofits in a neighbourhood of Caledon, Ontario with the aim of reducing residential energy consumption and the resulting GHG emissions. The Program will utilize locally targeted marketing, community events, and face-to-face Home Retrofit Consultations to engage households […]

Quality control in manufacturing can be a challenge. While many use AR (Augmented Reality) to reduce error in training processes or to assist with the assembly process, this research will introduce AR as a means of performing quality checks while the worker is assembling, thus allowing him or her to do two jobs at once. […]

This project will attempt to improve knowledge of the condition of the roof of mining rooms in potash mining. Typically a Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) systems pointing overhead and connected to a mining machine is used to assess the conditions of the roof. This is important in order to avoid rock falls which endanger lives, […]

This project addresses two major needs of the agriculture sector in Manitoba. The shift from nitrogen based- to phosphorus-based manure management regulations has resulted in implementing liquid hog manure separation techniques as a phosphorus (P) balance strategy but it is uncertain as to how best to utilize the solid material with its very high P […]

The broad objectives of this research include: (1) to develop an accurate picture of the extent to which digital technologies have been adopted by extractive industries, (2) to understand factors that have impacted on the pace of digitalization, (3) to develop an understanding of how further digitalization could transform extractive industries and the communities and […]

One of the most challenging issues in the gold mining industry comes from the carbonaceous ore components adsorbing gold ion complexes, resulting in up to 90% gold loss during cyanide leaching process. The addition of chemical reagents as blinding agents is one of the most promising methods to blind the organic carbon content of ore […]

Seismic response analysis are evaluations that aim to capture how the geological and geotechnical properties of soil deposits at a particular site affect earthquake motions at ground level. Commonly, this type of analysis is performed by assuming the soil layers are horizontal and that the earthquake motion travels in only one direction. However, in reality […]

Le projet vise à développer des outils permettant de réaliser une cartographie de l’hydrographie ainsi que des sites avec contrainte de drainage aux opérations forestières à partir du LiDAR aéroporté et de l’imagerie aérienne. Cette nouvelle cartographie permettra de bonifier les cartes écoforestières en géolocalisant les cours d’eau linéaire et surfacique ainsi que les zones […]

Chez la Banque Nationale du Canada, des délais du chargement ETL (Extraction, Transformation, Chargement) des entrepôts de données sont très importants, ce qui influence l’efficacité et aussi le fonctionnement des autres projets. Des chargements ETL non exécutés qui ont plusieurs interdépendances, et le problème comme des erreurs systèmes, des données manquantes, des données non conformes […]

Nowadays, automotive companies are seeking to use prospective robust, light-weight, anti-corrosive and cost-effective composites such as fibre reinforced polymer (FRP), instead of traditional materials like steel or aluminum alloy, to make their products more competitive in the market. The sponsor company in this project, Litens Automotive Group, is investigating the feasibility of adopting FRP to […]

Une espèce est dite ‘envahissante’ lorsqu’elle est capable de s’établir de façon remarquable dans un nouveau milieu, hors de son aire d’occurrence naturelle. Le nerprun bourdaine (Rhmanus frangula) est une plante envahissante au Canada et aux États-Unis. Originaire de l’Europe et de l’Asie, cet arbuste occupé les forêts et les plantations du Québec et empêche […]

Le présent projet constitue la phase II d’un projet de recherche s’intéressant aux déterminants de la santé psychologique (détresse psychologique et bien-être) chez les avocats membres du Barreau Québec suivant une augmentation de près de 400% sur 10 ans des demandes d’aides adressées annuellement au programme d’aide aux membres du Barreau du Québec (PAMBA). La […]
