Mining-induced stress in the area around tunnel openings represents a major design consideration in potash mines. In the past, induced stress has been monitored using an array of techniques derived from the hard rock mining industry, one of the key assumptions being linear-elastic deformation behaviour of the rock. When using these methods in a soft […]

Have you ever imagined a world where you can control everything at home and at work with your voice, even without having to read an instruction manual? Speech technologies based on artificial intelligence models promise to make that happen by teaching machines to recognize voice. However, these systems currently support only a few languages, and […]

Clean electrochemical energy conversion is critically needed to build energy security that reduces Canada’s reliance on fossil fuels. The polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell is a particularly important part of a clean energy future as an attractive alternative to the internal combustion engine for transportation applications. PEM fuel cells offer zero local emissions, fast-start […]

Metal additive manufacturing (AM) technologies are now frequently used in the aerospace, automotive, medical, and energy sectors for fabricating end-use components. The digital nature of the supply chain involved for metal AM production becomes increasingly susceptible to numerous types of cyber- and cyber-physical threats. There is a need for developing security and traceability markers embedded […]

From an energy production perspective, the mobile component of the turbine, the runner, plays a key role in the operation of a water turbine. In the present competitive situation of deregulated energy markets, there is a great demand for more efficient runners which can withstand severe operating conditions. Traditional trial-and-error runner design methods largely depend […]

There is a growing need to address the rising child mental health crisis in Canada. One way is to take a personalized medicine approach which includes factors that influence an individual’s environment, genetics and their microbiome. The microbiome includes a collection of microorganisms and can live on or within the human body. Many environmental factors […]

Naphthenic acids (NAs) represent the primary source of acute toxicity in oil sands process affected water. Due to the seepage potential of NAs from oil sands tailings ponds into the surrounding surface water and groundwater, environmental monitoring of NAs in water samples from tailing ponds, surrounding groundwater and surface water, and groundwater wells became a […]

The creation of an immersive space requires the precise connection of audio, visual and haptic systems. Current methods for connecting these systems rely on software engineers to rebuild the tools each time a change is made to the mappings, making it difficult for designers to experiment with new interaction methods. This internship will support and […]

Accélérer la mise en œuvre et la maintenance des pratiques quant à la protection des renseignements personnels en organisation et assurer l’accès aux techniques d’anonymisation respectant les normes de confidentialité et sécurité. À la lumière des nouvelles réglementations et normes sur la confidentialité des données personnelles, Videns Analytics est en constant progrès pour mettre à […]

Levansucrase (LS) is an enzyme that can catalyse reactions converting sugars, alkyl and phenolic compounds to complex oligosaccharides. In-depth studies are still needed regarding the reactions with alkyl and phenolic compounds which show high potential in increasing their antioxidant properties. In addition, further work is necessary to investigate the ability of LS to produce functional […]

A prototype Forex currency trading system has demonstrated a proof of concept on a static data set. The current project proposes to implement the trading system for real-time applications using the tools of predictive analysis, As data arrives in the trading system it will automatically update the buy/sell recommendations with estimates of probability of success. […]

Avec la nouvelle ère numérique, quelques activités de gestion des actifs des infrastructures urbaines sont réorganisées au niveau des villes avec la mise en œuvre d’une panoplie de technologies. Ceci touche aléatoirement quelques activités, il manque une vision systémique et une compréhension holistique des besoins. Il existe un manque de bases théoriques soutenant le déploiement […]
