Soil contaminated with organic and inorganic contaminants represents the largest waste stream in Alberta’s landfills. Electro-Kinetic Solutions Inc. (EKS) has developed the Electrokinetic Soil Treatment (EKST) Process to cost-effectively decontaminate soils onsite, instead of disposing them in a landfill. This innovative technology, based on the proven physics of electrokinetics, is effective even for fine-grained soils […]

Micro-algae (prokaryotic and eukaryotic) are increasingly used in food production, biotechnology and water treatment. By developing a high throughput screening system for naturally occurring micro-algae strains, we aim to expand the pool of strains available for biotechnology and other applications. We are implementing genomics and analytical tools in our pipeline to obtain detailed information about […]

Ce projet traite le défi de la virtualisation du réseau électrique dans un contexte de transition énergétique caractérisé par une augmentation des ressources énergétiques décentralisées connectées, une numérisation des postes et automatismes et une convergence des technologies informationnelles avec les technologies opérationnelles. Le travail des stagiaires contribuera à mieux intégrer ces éléments dans les études […]

SFU will be collaborating with partners of a supercluster on the Continuous Connected Patient Care (CCPC) Platform, which is being developed to provide safe, responsive, and high-quality outpatient care at home. We will be working directly with our partner, Medtronic Canada. SFU’s will focus on the research, development, and testing of medical grade wearable sensor […]

La transition energetique est bien entamee au Quebec et une des consequences importantes de cette transition est l’augmentation de la demande en energie electrique. De meilleurs outils de conduite du reseau comme ceux proposes dans ce projet, permettront de limiter l’impact de l’augmentation de la demande et ainsi faciliter l’integration de celle-ci sans freiner la […]

Newer travel modes such as shared e-bikes and autonomous transit have/are emerged/considered to be low-cost, accessible and sustainable travel options. However, data and models to support evidence-based planning and policies for the effective deployment of these innovative transport options for smaller municipalities like the City of Kelowna is rare. This research fills a critical gap […]

Lake Utopia Paper is interested in developing and improving the birch NSSC pulping process for the production of corrugating medium. The primary objective of this project is to develop delignification and sulfonation models for process control of NSSC pulping of birch. In addition, the relationship between the NSSC pulping process and the properties of the […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

Chronic pain (CP) affects 1 in 5 Canadian youth and adults. It is not uncommon for individuals to wait months or years to receive the care they need. Power Over Pain (PoP) is an online portal which offers evidenced-based resources for people living with pain (PLWP), ranging from low-intensity (e.g., pain education) to high-intensity (e.g., […]

Cette recherche consiste en l’application de techniques d’intelligence artificielle pour créer des gabarit qui serviront à l’extraction de données de formulaires (en format images ou PDF) dans le domaine de la gestion. Une combinaison de méthodes d’apprentissage automatique (intelligence artificielle) et de méthode d’ingénierie traditionnelles seront utilisés pour ce projet. Il est également fort possible […]

Non-profits in the homelessness sector, especially smaller ones, tend to collect, analyze and use limited amounts of data: occupancy rates, numbers of meals served, etc. In order to better serve their clients, and to manage their organization more effectively, a more robust approach to capturing and analyzing data on client characteristics, satisfaction and outcomes is […]

Les nouvelles technologies peuvent entrainer un développement énorme aux industries, en particulier pour ceux qui savent en tirer profit. Dans ce cadre et pour des objectifs de concurrence sur le marché mondial, les usines de transformation de bois cherchent toujours à des solutions technologiques innovantes pour améliorer la qualité de ses produits (panneaux de lamelles […]
