Epic Safety is the research and development arm of Aban Security Systems Ltd., specializing in Personal Emergency Response Systems (PERS) and Tele-Health. To continue its innovations, the company is planning to grow its technical and manufacturing presence in Canada. As this is a highly specialized technical field, Epic has faced challenges in hiring the highly […]

Using solids to trap carbon dioxide is an alternative to the conventional and expensive solution based method. The Shimizu group at the University of Calgary has developed an outstanding candidate solid for CO2 capture from flue gas streams based on laboratory studies. This proposal will expand the experience of three interns to bridge science to […]

Datasets obtained from different sources are often heterogeneous: they do not share a common internal structure, even though they are nominally about the same subject matter. This makes reporting against datasets difficult without laborious, manual efforts to clean and transform the data. This project will investigate the feasibility of an approach to abstract the harvesting […]

The project aims at better understanding the role the stand composition may play in increasing resilience of the Quebec forests to future climate variability. We propose that by increasing the degree “mixing” of different species within forest stands, we can make forest more adapted to climatically unfavourable conditions, those frequency may increase in the future. […]

H2O4All is one of many small, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) working to address the needs of the 663 million who lack access to safe drinking water and the 2.4 billion who are without access to sanitation facilities in low- and middle-income countries. Unfortunately, evaluation of water, sanitation, and hygiene (WaSH) interventions are rarely a priority for […]

Many employees commute long distances for work or work for long periods in different geographic locations than where they live. Organizations are increasingly called upon to manage these forms of employee mobility in ways that sustain and maximize organizational productivity, as well as employee, and family well-being. Yet there is very limited research to inform […]

S2E Technologies is a consulting company leading the design and implementation of two Smart communities, to be located in London and Guelph, Ontario. The aim of this research collaboration is to assist S2E with the modeling, design, and analysis of rooftop solar greenhouses integrated with grocery stores, anaerobic digesters and livestock barns. The analysis will […]

A frequent prescription for managers leading a company’s technology assets is that the firm’s business strategy should lead the firm’s technology strategy. However, many technology firms find themselves in the opposite position: having a technology that can alter their business strategy. In such a case, questions arise as to the appropriate business response. Resilience Inc. […]

The Grosmont formation, a carbonate naturally fractured reservoir in Alberta, Canada, has 400 billion bbl of bitumen resource, which is currently not commercially exploited. Viable exploitation of this reservoir would mean addition of a huge quantity to Canadian oil reserves. Since December 2010, Laricina Energy Ltd. in their Saleski pilot evaluated a bitumen recovery process […]

The objective of this project is to improve the quality of results returned by a search engine by incorporating the user’s prior search history. By adding contextual information about the user, we are able to better understand their needs and provide information tailored specifically for them. A unique, customized ontology is created to best model […]

The NSERC Strategic Network for Smart Applications on Virtual Infrastructures is a five-year partnership between Canadian industry, universities, researchers, research and education (R&E) networks, and high performance computing centres to investigate the design of future application platforms that will deliver software applications of greater capability and intelligence. These application platforms will be supported by an […]

L’Université de Moncton, seule université francophone du Nouveau-Brunswick, est située dans un milieu à forte majorité anglophone. L’état des connaissances sur les déterminants de la réussite universitaire chez cette population n’est que parcellaire et peu discriminant. Comme le souligne Landry (2014), les différents groupes populationnels du Nouveau-Brunswick constituent un microcosme du pays et sont en […]
