The proposed project will assess and quantify the energy transfer from wildland fires as it relates to coverage of vegetative fuel with wildland fire chemicals for protection of wildland/urban interfaces. The project will extend on preliminary work on the relative performance of wildfire chemicals (e.g., water, gel, foam, and long-term retardants) on forest vegetation. The […]

TurnMeUp is an iOS app for always-on voice communications. Users leave the app running in the background and can talk to the recipient (also using the app) at any time. This app is especially useful for coworkers listening to their own music in the background without needing to enter and exit voice call sessions manually. […]

Blockchain is an emerging technology that has the potential to change the way financial participants transact with each other. It enables direct transfer of value and financial assets between participants over networks without the need for a central authority (internet of value). It does this by combining the functionality of different technologies – distributed systems, […]

The development of test means for aircraft flight control systems for is a complex, multidisciplinary and time consuming task. In this project a Master student will develop a reusable model-based development framework, based on an open source tool and methodology. This model-based systems engineering approach will allow the formalization of the generic aspects of the […]

The physicochemical character of the hydrological regime that formed Carlin-type Au-deposits (CTGDs) are poorly understood and represents a critical knowledge gap relating to their genesis. We are undertaking an integrated geological and geochemical study of the Nadaleen trend of CTGDs in the Yukon to better define the hydrological regime that controlled their formation. The proposed […]

The intern will analyze pre- and post-training survey and interview data from the SARE Centre’s EAAA Train the Trainer workshops in order to improve the quality of this training. These surveys/interviews assess trainees’ previous experience, skills, knowledge, and confidence in relevant areas as indicators of the workshop’s effectiveness. The intern will also conduct exploratory research […]

Sitting can become particularly problematic when individuals remain in a fixed position for a prolonged period of time. Pressure can develop in the areas of the body that are compressed by the seat, which can lead to a significant reduction in blood flow to the surrounding tissues. As a result, seat adjustability becomes necessary for […]

The goal of this project is to develop instrumentation and software that will enable more efficient and safe mining practices. We will focus on the development of (1) vision-based instrumentation; (2) methods to increase situational awareness; and (3) techniques for automated data acquisition. This research will result in the design of a prototype vision system […]

Recent advances in hydrogeomorphology promote a sustainable, holistic approach to river management based on the concepts of working with nature, where mobility and flood zones are defined to give more space to rivers for fluvial processes and associated ecosystem services to operate. This sustainable and proactive restoration vision, termed “the freedom space for river” concept, […]

Traditional oil sands production techniques include mining and transporting the sands and in situ production using steam injection, Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD). This proposed method will replace or enhance SAGD by using primarily traditional vertical well bores and an induction heating method which will potentially allow the heating effect to expand in diameter as […]

Bombardier Transport est un chef de file mondial dans l’industrie ferroviaire comprenant des unités de production partout dans le monde. La compagnie souhaite développer une variante novatrice en soudage laser utilisant un mode oscillatoire adaptée à l’aluminium pour la fabrication ferroviaire. Ce mode de soudage permet de modifier la dynamique d’application de l’énergie laser et […]

L’utilisation des antibiotiques pour améliorer la croissance chez les animaux a contribué à l’émergence d’une résistance aux antibiotiques. D’où la nécessité de développer des alternatives à l’usage des antibiotiques. Dans ce contexte, ce projet vise à développer une alternative économique, efficace et écologique, soit une formulation à base de levures à l’utilisation d’antibiotiques chez le […]
