The trees surrounding the source drinking water lakes in Cape Breton Regional Municipality influence the pH and electrical conductivity of throughfall water in preliminary studies, particularly conifers like black spruce. The Kelly Lake Watershed that provides drinking water to the community of Louisbourg suffers from an acidity pulse each spring, potentially influenced by overland flow […]

This project supports relationship development with First Nations communities in British Columbia to facilitate collaboration on a larger flood-risk reduction project, which focuses on integrating Western expertise in architecture, engineering and social science with Indigenous Traditional Knowledge to create a new, collaborative approach for flood risk reduction in Indigenous communities in Canada. Relationship building prior […]

This project seeks to play a role in making fusion energy a reality, a big step in energy decarbonization. The project is in collaboration with General Fusion, based in British Columbia, where a fusion reactor is being designed, based on a spinning cylinder of liquid lithium which is mechanically collapsed around a plasma to produce […]

L’industrie minière est un secteur manufacturier clé pour le Québec et le Canada qui doit constamment améliorer sa compétitivité, notamment par des investissements permettant le contrôle des opérations. Un équipement important et très énergivore dans le procédé de production de dioxyde de Titane est le four à arc électrique de réduction du minerai d’ilménite. Ce […]

The proposed project will be a collaboration between the Ottawa (ON) based integrated circuit (IC) company, Power Integrations Inc. (PI) and RIGA lab at University of Manitoba, Winnipeg (MB). The result of the research project will be transferred to the IC design team in PI to integrate power semiconductors, gate drivers, controllers company to identify […]

La photopléthysmographie (PPG) est une méthode non invasive mesurant les changements de volume sanguin dans les tissus. Cette technique permet de dériver des métriques physiologiques importantes, telles que la fréquence cardiaque, la saturation en oxygène et la pression artérielle. Cependant, pour des résultats fiables, il est crucial de prendre en compte les différences physiologiques des […]

Le projet vise à comprendre le processus de mise en production des poutrelles, d’identifier les variables qui influencent la décision de mise en production et de prédire cette décision chez le groupe Canam pour contribuer à la mise en place d’un système intelligent pour l’automatisation de la mise en production des poutrelles. Il s’agit également […]

Systematic reviews are a type of research that collect and assess relevant information for a specific research question. However, they can take up to two years to complete. In situations with time constraints or limited resources, rapid reviews can provide decision-makers with evidence. Rapid reviews use modifications from systematic review processes, called trade-offs, resulting in […]

This project aims to assess the degree of sociospatial polarization of green space in the City of Laval, Quebec, compared to the Montreal Greater Metropolitan Area (Communauté métropolitaine de Montréal, CMM) and identify which areas in the city have reached or have the potential to meet proposed metrics for distributional inequalities in green spaces. The […]

Increasing industrial interest in biobased polymers to replace traditional plastics is on the rise. Bio- sourced alternatives still experience challenges that require resolution prior to their being able to fit into existing infrastructure and replace petroleum plastics in the market. This project will address the processability of a lignocellulosic thermoplastic to facilitate injection molding.

Mobile devices are essential in today’s enterprise, enabling workers to carry out their duties effectively. However, losing or having such devices stolen can be detrimental, making it important to locate them at any given time and place. The project aims to develop a simulation tool that generates location data for mobile devices in real-life scenarios, […]
