With the growth of the Internet, the amount of scientific data and information available to research teams has been increasing exponentially in the past two decades, which results in significant information overload. Approaches for manual knowledge extraction and curation does not scale up in practice. The main objective of the project is to create an […]

Corrosion under insulation (CUI) a prominent material damage mechanisms in the process industries and pipelines which has reportedly caused countless failure events. Absorbed moisture in thermal insulation is the key reason behind CUI which also causes heat dissipation thereby posing the increased carbon footprint and reduced thermal efficiencies. The soaked thermal insulations have always been […]

Seabed hydrocarbon seeps are environments where petroleum fluids from deep warm sources migrate upwards through marine sediments and up into the water column. These are important biological environments that also have industrial applications. Seeps can be indicative of deep petroleum reserves and are used in oil exploration. They also host microbial communities that are capable […]

In the move towards a sustainable built environment, timber structures are experiencing a renaissance in the building industry. Mass timber panels, primarily cross-laminated timber (CLT), are gaining increasing interest from builders and designers due to their lightweight, great dimensional stability, prefabrication, and aesthetic appeal. The CLT floor system resists both gravity loads such as dead […]

Peu de données et d’études sont disponibles sur la composition du lait maternel produit par une mère au-delà de la première année de vie de son bébé. Des données récentes tendent à démontrer que ce lait maternel serait d’intérêt nutritionnel avec un contenu appréciable facteurs immunoprotecteurs. Cependant, la majorité de ces études ont comparé la […]

Autonomous cars are one example of a compelling next-generation artificial intelligence technology. In order to safely navigate through the world, cars must plan long-range routes and short-range paths, perceive the world around them, and act according to a safety-first policy that takes into account the intent of agents in their surrounding world. While not strictly […]

Une transition vers une consommation de l’énergie électrique plus efficace, flexible ou plus sobre doit notamment être pensée dans la réalité sociale des ménages québécois. Que l’on parle de jeunes parents manquant de temps endettés par un premier achat immobilier ou d’autres ménages, ils doivent être entendus. Leurs trajectoires et leurs aspirations d’établissement, ainsi que […]

It is well understood that Atlantic salmon will seek thermal refuge once certain temperature thresholds are exceeded, and these thresholds differ with age – this behaviour is termed ‘thermoregulation’. However, the temperatures that induces behavioural thermoregulation are not homogeneous across the range of Atlantic salmon. As our understanding of these processes has grown, it is […]

Le projet de recherche vise à améliorer les conditions de vie et d’emploi des migrants avec un statut d’immigration temporaire, grâce à la production de connaissances empiriques sur leur expérience au Québec et leurs besoins d’intervention. Au Réseaux d’aide aux travailleuses et travailleurs migrants agricoles du Québec (RATTMAQ), les stagiaires étudieront les facteurs de risques […]

The Humber River watershed is a mixed urban, rural watershed within the Greater Toronto Area and a designated Canadian Heritage River. The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA), in partnership with relevant municipalities, is developing a watershed plan to determine existing conditions and identify measures to protect, enhance, and restore watershed conditions. Water quality is […]

Immigrant seniors face a variety of challenges, such as language barriers or poor health, that impact their ability to age at home or to stay healthier for longer. S.U.C.C.E.S.S.’ collaboration with Vancouver Coastal Health is investigating the impact of the PACE model on BC immigrant seniors. The model brings teams of different healthcare professionals together […]
