3D concrete printing and the digital design processes associated with this technology are developing quickly across the world, both in academia and in practice, moving from the realm of the artisan to the early stages of automated manufacturing. How do architects engage this emerging new field that combines fabrication technologies with material in their design […]

Studies performed over the last 10 years or so have revealed that the primary power of human stem cells lies in what they produce and release or excrete, not the cells themselves; this includes growth factors, paracrine factors, peptides, extracellular vesicles (EVs), and most importantly, exosomes. This is good news, as it means we can […]

Canada’s $9.6B pulp industry produces an ample supply of unusable organic pulp mill residues, yet there has been relatively limited utilization of this feedstock for the production of bio-crude through hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) – a low-temperature, high-pressure thermolytic conversion process. The proposed research project will investigate HTL catalysts that produce abundant, high-quality, and low-cost bio-crude […]

Les documents d’ingénierie sont essentiels aux projets d’infrastructures. Plusieurs de ces documents sont toutefois dans des formats dits non-intelligents, c’est-à-dire qu’ils ne peuvent directement être interprétés par un ordinateur. Dans certains cas, ces documents sont même uniquement sur papier… Le projet vise à donner aux logiciels Bentley une capacité d’analyse de ces documents similaire à […]

The CXN360 service by Ag Exchange Group (https://cxn360.ca) is an online grain marketing service that allows grain buyers to make offers to purchase grain commodities and allows grain growers to make offers to sell grain commodities. CXN360 currently services the Canadian Prairies and Ag Exchange Group plans to extend the service into international markets and […]

A refrigerant leak is one of the major contributors of commercial refrigeration unexpected breakdowns. Conventional methods of leak detection using physical sensors are expensive, have limited capability of square footage coverage, and incapable of detecting slow and progressive refrigerant leaks. Accordingly, the development of a smart leak detection system without the need to include additional […]

The present research will focus on re-developing and evaluating an inclusive, and accessible gender-neutral program entitled “BodySense”, in collaboration with the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES), aimed at increasing awareness of body image concerns in sport and aiding athletes and key influencers (i.e., parents, coaches, sport organizations) in cultivating a more inclusive, equitable […]

The proposed research project is targeted to develop an accurate mathematical description for control and optimization of the Autonomous Mobile Energy system (AMES) and its integration with potential applications in mining, water desalination and other areas. The system incorporates solar thermal system thermal energy storage and an auxiliary energy source and will provide uninterrupted clean […]

Light can have a significant effect on our wellbeing. In general, it is healthy to follow the natural outdoor cycle and receive a lot of light during the day and no light at night. However, in the modern world of high-rise buildings and electric lights, we can often end up desynchronized from the outdoor world. […]

The data describing different aspects of a building comes from various disciplines and is most often residing in disparate systems. Yet, an effective management of the building performance requires access to a unified view of the whole lifecycle data. Using existing technologies disparate sources of the building data can be integrated and stored in the […]

The requirement for dissolution testing (both routine sample and method development) is increasing for all of the current and future programs at Accucaps and is a regulatory requirement for most oral pharmaceutical products. The need for access to capacity and development capabilities for dissolution must reach beyond Accucaps. For these reasons, a collaboration with Dr […]
