For this project we will better understand the health of the St Lawrence River through the lens of bacterial diversity. The ability of natural waterways to process anthropogenic inputs is dependant on the bacterial health of the ecosystem. This study will help to characterise the bacterial community and allow us to better understand the processes […]

To support blue hydrogen economy processes that generate CO2 as a by-product, and greenhouse gas (GHG) sequestration studies in general, the injection and storage of CO2 into deep (~1500m), un-minable coal seams hosted in the Mannville Formation of Alberta will be studied. A vertical (pilot) well will be drilled, cored, and completed in the target […]

The Superplastic Forming process involves gas injection from a variable pressure supply, to form a heated metallic sheet into a complex automotive body panel shape. The current process involves excessive forming times which allow residual stresses to relax thus avoiding cracks and tearing. Research shows that pressure pulsations of the gas supply increase the allowable […]

Les risques extrêmes des chaines d’approvisionnement sont des événements caractérisés par une fréquence faible et un impact très élevé : catastrophes naturelles (tremblement de terre, tsunami ou inondations), catastrophes industrielles (Incendies, explosions…), ou grèves. Les épidémies représentent un cas particulier des risques extrêmes des chaînes d’approvisionnement, avec un impact très fort et immédiat sur la […]

Le technicien ambulancier paramédical (TAP) a comme fonction principale de prodiguer les soins préhospitaliers d’urgence tout en assurant, le transport sécuritaire du bénéficiaire vers un centre hospitalier. Lorsque l’environnement physique ne permet pas l’utilisation de la civière (ex., escaliers à franchir), le TAP utilisera la civière-chaise pour déplacer les patients nécessitant une assistance totale. La […]

New meters, sensors and other field data collection devices are providing a plethora of real time system operational data for building, industrial plants and production systems. At the same time, building owners, industrial plant owners and campus based operations are being challenged with managing their energy use both through conservation and demand management processes. In […]

Most rural municipalities on the Canadian Shield rely on underground aquifers as their primary source of drinking water. Groundwater is prone to many anthropogenic and natural sources of contamination. The objective of the research project is to develop an innovative technique to predict and map the depth of the bedrock surface across large scales using […]

As a solution to reduce congestion on vehicular roads and mitigate longer travelling times, this technology provides the most optimal routes for drivers by guaranteeing the shortest travel time in an eco-friendly environment. The technology relies on communication to road-side intelligent intersection agents with embedded sensors that to estimate routes based on the real-time road […]

The Honna River is the drinking water source for the Village of Queen Charlotte (pop. 950), and is also important salmon habitat. Sediment from unpaved forest roads near the river may be entering the channel in significant quantities. In a previous internship, intern David Reid implemented a channel reach-scale study of all sediment sources in […]

This project critically assesses the work of K-12 educators has been affected by the policies of the Ontario government under Premier Ford, both prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, including class size increases and mandatory e-learning, as well as during the pandemic, including its public health policies, the pivot to virtual learning and alternative school timetables. […]

This project is designed to evaluate/test the viability of commercial live coccidial poultry vaccine. The efforts will be made to enumerate individual species within a mixture of several to many vaccine species. The current research revolves around viability-qPCR that may be able to simultaneously amplify and quantify parasites in a variety of samples and concentrations. […]
