Development of an eco-friendly adsorbent for selective removal of selenium in uranium mining wastewater

While the benefits of uranium production bring economic and strategic advantages for Saskatchewan and Canada, the legacy of its tailings, waste rocks, flooded mines, and industrial wastewaters are the drawbacks. To safeguard both human and environmental health, the mining waste streams need to be treated prior to their release to the environment. The current research […]

Intelligent Intrusion Detection Systems for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles

Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs) can be vulnerable to various attacks at different levels. The malicious attacks not only result in loss of confidentiality and user privacy, but also lead to more serious consequences such as bodily injury and loss of life. Intrusion detection system (IDS) is an effective way to detect different threats, and […]

Establishing a world-class biophysics platform that will enable and accelerate the discovery of leads for launching drug-discovery programs and biotech start-ups

Challenge: The most critical step in discovering future medications is the identification of the initial hit compounds (“leads”) that interact with target proteins and which have the desired properties. The search for and validation of potential lead compounds is a major challenge for launching drug discovery programs as this process requires highly specialized expertise, expensive […]

Regional Quaternary Geology and Glacial History in the Iskut Area

Canada’s modern landscape has been strongly influenced by the formation and subsequent melting of glaciers during the last glaciation. Glaciers have a wide range of effects on near surface sediments including moving and reworking them to form new deposits. Understanding the actions of the glaciers and the shape, characteristics and variability of the resulting sediments […]

Assessing the impacts of climate change on insurance sectors, public safety, and economic sustainability in North America: A Market Intelligence Review and Meta-analysis

Climate change has been projected to increase the frequency and severity of extreme weather (wildfire) and increase the prevalence of vector-borne infectious diseases (such as West Nile Virus and Lyme disease), which will potentially affect the insurance sectors through increased claims, financial losses, and the development of uninsurable risks. This review will follow a rapid […]

Fundamental Studies of Aerobic Membrane Bioreactor under Short Sludge Retention Time Conditions for Municipal wastewater treatment

Conventional wastewater treatment processes consume a large amount of energy and produce around 32% of municipal greenhouse (GHG) emissions. Thus, advanced wastewater treatment technologies with low energy consumption and GHG emissions are highly desirable for environmental protection. Aerobic membrane bioreactor (AeMBR) has been widely used for municipal and industrial wastewater purification. However, the AeMBR technology […]

Multivariate random effects model for Integrated measurement of green veneer thickness and roughness

Thickness and surface roughness are the two main veneer quality criteria affecting material recovery, plywood glue bond quality, and glue consumption. At present, on-line green veneer thickness and surface roughness are generally not measured, which causes difficulty in assessing overall veneer quality for a better control of log conditioning and veneer peeling process. In this […]

Smart Parking Garage

This study will determine the applied wind loading on the steel structure of the novel Electric Vehicle Automated Parking (EVAP). It will develop proper design guidelines for steel helical piles to support EVAP considering gravitational (self-weight of EVAP and cars) and environmental loads (i.e. wind, snow and earthquake). EVAP is the world’s first integrated parking […]
