This research work will establish a systematic workflow for analyzing transient equilibrium foamy oil phase behavior by coupling the m-CCEC tests, depletion rate and presence of water-in-oil emulsion from microscopic viewpoint which are seldom performed for heavy oil. It will provide a strong connection and comparison with previously studies which was conducted in the absence […]

Rising material costs, lack of quality control, labour shortages, challenging climates and significant on-site waste continue to be the challenges encountered by the Canadian construction industry. The collaboration between the research team and NEXII will develop the technical know-how for the new generation building panel products to address these challenges. The new NEXII panel is […]

Well-known Canadian montane national parks have undergone a length period of fire suppression activities, which started in the early 20th century. This has resulted in old growth forest stands that are relatively homogeneous in nature, often containing forests that have the same species, age, and structure. In recent years, mountain pine beetle outbreaks have occurred, […]

The project will investigate the relationship between Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and temperature. The intern will use researched knowledge and thermal metrics to design a simulated trial to gather data (acquiring and processing several images), analyze (reviewing data and performing analytics), model (create specific DVT data models) and validate the simulated data with real data […]

Le present projet vise a democratiser l’utilisation du laser terrestre et de la modelisation 3D en archeologie. Souvent consideree com me couteux ces outils sont tres peu souvent envisage dans un contexte de recherche archeologique. Or, depuis une decennie la revolution numerique que nous connaissons a enormement simplifier I ‘utilisation du laser terrestre en plus […]

L’entreprise Fastercom se spécialise dans le développement d’algorithmes et de logiciels permettant de résoudre différentes formes de problèmes liés aux transports. L’objectif de ce projet est de développer des techniques d’apprentissage automatique adaptées au problème de repositionnement dynamique de véhicules. Il s’agit par exemple du repositionnement d’ambulances pour couvrir adéquatement une zone pour les urgences, […]

In order to maintain safe and efficient operations, railway systems periodically use large, special purpose, trackbound grinding machines to re-establish the desired profiles of rails, and to remove surface damage that has occurred under operating conditions. The accuracy of the grinding process is typically measured using quality indices to compare the resulting rail profile to […]

This research project supports the development of cycling planning tools within an online transportation planning platform called the Transportation GeoXchange (TGX). Research focusses on the development and integration of Level of Traffic Stress (LTS) network analysis in case studies using the TGX. LTS networks are routable graphs with impedance functions that characterize the subjective level […]

Our abdomen can contract in order to help us breath. Restricting our abdomen has previously shown to reduce the function of our lungs at rest, and change the way we breath during exercise. Women’s athletic apparel has trended towards high-waisted, lower body garments. A high-waisted band, although not as severe as abdominal strapping, can apply […]

Women use sports bras to reduce the breast movement and discomfort during exercise. In order to provide support, sports bras have a tight fit, adding pressure to rib cage. Pressure applied to the rib cage via a sports bra, can provide resistance during inspiration, and increasing the effort and work required to breath. The purpose […]

Women are vastly underrepresented in venture capital (VC) firms. There is also a lack of women entering the field of venture capital due to systemic barriers and a lack of momentum to shift existing barriers for women to enter the venture capital world. This research aims to understand the current status of women in VC […]

International legislation and growing environmental issues have imposed a lot of pressure on companies and manufacturers to maximize the recycling systems. Such demands have had significant consequences for the plastic industries to use recycled plastics from the disposed plastic wastes. Therefore, this study is an initiative taken by the Nanomaterials and Polymer Nanocomposites Laboratory (NPNL) […]
