In this project we address the problem of power consumption for wireless sensor nodes. This is where among different components of a sensor, RF transceivers consume a significant amount of power e.g. approximately 80%. Hence the main objective is this project is to tackle the power consumption problem at the RF transmitter, where we aim […]

Les tests utilisateurs de nouvelles générations ont recours à des technologies de pointe comme l’occulométrie, l’analyse faciale et de l’activité célébrale et capturent de précieuses informations quant à l’ergonomie et l’usage des interfaces logicielles. Ces pratiques exigent une rigueur et une précision qui obligent les différentes industries à repenser leur méthodologie de développement de produits […]

Head Injury Prevention (HIP) Lab at Simon Fraser University in collaboration with Shield-X Technology Inc. had previously developed an impact diverting mechanism in the form of a thin multi-layered-membrane. The technology has been successfully integrated onto the exterior of a football helmet (external version) to reduce linear and rotational acceleration experienced during impact to the […]

In this internship cluster, the graduate student interns will investigate relevant research topics facing the offshore industry operating in harsh offshore and ocean environments. The research topics will include the investigation of ice loads and shallow water waves, response of floating structures and dynamic positioning in harsh environments, structural integrity of vessels and structures in […]

We propose to mitigate corrosion in potash mining and processing plants by introducing corrosion inhibitor to potash brine solutions. We will screen and formulate a cost-effective corrosion inhibitor that is compatible to potash mining and processing operation, but does not degrade quality of potash products and still provides high corrosion inhibition performance. The formulated corrosion […]

Deep Learning is the new, and fast growing bread of systems based on artificial neural networks. These are phenomenal at learning patterns and generating new pattern that have the characteristics of the data the system was trained on. One of the main artistic and creative use of Deep Learning is to process images, pictures video. […]

Chemotherapy is currently the most effective approach for treatment of advanced cancer. However, chemotherapeutics do not differentiate between malignant and normal cells, and lead to serious side effects. Recent findings indicate that a substantial proportion of cancers, as distinct from normal tissue, are deficient in an enzyme called methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP). This provides a unique […]

Les stériles miniers sont des roches qui sont excavées lors de l’exploitation d’une mine, mais qui n’ont pas de valeur économique. Ces stériles sont disposés en empilements appelés haldes à stériles. Selon leur composition, l’eau qui s’introduit dans la halde peut en ressortir contaminée et s’écouler vers le milieu environnant. Pour empêcher la formation et […]

Hops (Humulus lupulus) flowers are most famous for imparting the bitter taste and aroma to beer. Hop flowers produce essential oils that contain many different plant compounds, which impart the characteristic taste and aroma of hop plants. However, how the production of these oils is regulated is not fully understood. The establishment of the craft […]

The goal of the proposed research project is to use bias corrected climate model output to drive a hydrological model of the Churchill River Basin in Labrador. This represents a major milestone in an existing research collaboration between Memorial University and Nalcor Energy, the primary objective of which is to determine the effects of climate […]

St.Amant is an organization that offers services to support individuals with developmental disabilities. Many of St.Amant’s services are shifting to provide the most inclusive, supportive, community-based services with the intention of enhancing health, access to healthcare, and quality of life of persons served and that of their families and caregivers. One of the current service […]
