This second cycle of oral history interviews will continue to preserve for posterity first-person perspectives of the careers and achievements of eminent Canadian engineers since the 1960s. Interviewees will be individuals who have made significant contribution to Canadian achievements in biological, civil, chemical, dam, geotechnical, mechanical, nuclear and tunnelling engineering fields. As much as possible, […]

This project investigates whether biocontrol microorganisms from Saskatchewan rhizosphere soils can effectively suppress Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) in wheat under field conditions, supporting their commercialization as sustainable biopesticides. FHB, caused mainly by Fusarium graminearum and F. culmorum, severely reduces wheat yields and contaminates grain with the mycotoxin DON. Current control measures face limitations due to […]

Les coûts d’un projet de construction sont souvent sous-estimés alors que les attentes dans la qualité sont élevées tout en demeurant avec des coûts raisonnables. L’estimation des coûts de construction d’un bâtiment est un processus complexe comportant plusieurs défis : 1) le manque d’information préliminaire ou un manque de détail sur les plans, 2) des […]

L’accès à du répit pour les personnes proches aidantes (PPA) est difficile puisqu’elles font face à diverses problématiques (liste d’attente, horaire peu flexible, distance géographique, etc.). L’organisation Entraidant veut offrir un service de répit atypique (qui n’a pas lieu sur une base régulière, en semaine) aux PPA à l’aide d’une plateforme informatique qui facilitera le […]

The project aims to enhance toxic behavior detection in online multiplayer games through voice chat. While text-based detection models have advanced, voice chat presents unique challenges due to its complexity and resource demands; however, it offers valuable cues like tone and intonation. As such, the project seeks to develop multi-modal models combining voice and text […]

Les blessures subies lors des chutes sont la cause principale d’hospitalisation des aînés au Canada. Dans les CHSLD, les chutes sont encore plus fréquentes et impactantes que dans le domicile. Ces chutes imposent un fardeau important au flux clinique, au quotidien du personnel soignant et à la santé des résidents. Pour les résidents en CHSLD […]

A Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) is a satellite communication technology that enables two-way data transmission between a ground station and a satellite. It is used for data, voice, and video communications, particularly in remote or underserved areas lacking adequate terrestrial infrastructure, ensuring reliable and secure communication for both personal and commercial needs. Optimizing the […]

Loss of biodiversity is occurring at unprecedented rates with an estimated 1 million species facing global extinction. Canada has the second largest area of intact natural landscapes and, therefore, a responsibility and opportunity to be a global leader in biodiversity conservation. Yet, Canada is facing a biodiversity crisis that particularly targets reptiles, one of the […]

Ce projet marque la première phase d’un programme visant à réduire l’impact environnemental des établissements de santé. Ces derniers sont d’importants contributeurs aux émissions de gaz à effet de serre, un domaine encore peu exploré par la recherche académique mais crucial pour la transition écologique et la responsabilité sociétale. Il se concentre sur l’analyse approfondie […]

This project addresses the significant demand for composite piping capable of withstanding elevated temperatures and/or pressure in water service and oil and gas transportation. In collaboration with Flexpipe at Mattr Infrastructure Technologies, we aim to develop rapid testing methods for designing and manufacturing large-diameter spoolable fiber-reinforced composite piping. Our focus is on exploring alternative procedures […]
