Humalite is a naturally occurring organic substance containing high concentrations of humic acid. Humic-based substances are well known for improving the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the soil. Therefore, humalite may be a cost-effective and environmentally friendly soil amendment with a wide variety of end uses. Large deposits of humalite were found in Southern […]

Pulse surveys are effective tools to improve how organizations function by measuring the real time response of employees on a periodic basis. The current project aims to develop a series of pulse surveys that measure the following concepts: team alignment, job satisfaction, employee engagement, and wellness. These concepts were picked because of their connection to […]

SeeO2 Energy has developed world-leading catalysts for reversible solid oxide fuel cell (RSOFC) systems with promising performance to produce syngas from H2O:CO2 feeds. The company has scaled-up the technology and has moved closer towards commercialization by building larger cells. However, assembling the RSOFC stack presents challenges due to issues associated with contact materials especially at […]

La transition vers l’industrie 4.0 a amené avec elle un ensemble de bouleversements non seulement au niveau de l’activité économique, mais aussi au sein de la société.

Traditionally, drug discovery is a long and costly process, which consists of many stages and on average takes a total of more than 10 years, because it screens huge amount of drug candidates by conducting chemical and biological experiments which are expensive and time consuming. This project aims to apply graph representation learning technologies to […]

The intent of this research is to increase accessibility for educational opportunities and identify best practices to weave Indigenous Ways of Knowing in Earth science educational resources in British Columbia and Saskatchewan. I hope to achieve this by 1) researching existing resources and their accessibility in B.C. and SK; 2) determining how readily applicable these […]

It is critical for farmers to have cultivars so that they can make decisions on the best practices to undertake when growing a new crop and maintain productivity and competitiveness in the marketplace. Pulse production is growing in demand and is an established market in Canada. In addition, plant based protein products are growing in […]

Ce projet cherche à mieux comprendre les freins à l’intégration du zéro déchet (ZD) dans la chaîne d’approvisionnement et les solutions les plus appropriées pour l’ensemble des parties prenantes. Ce projet va permettre de: 1. identifier les leviers de transition pour l’implantation de solutions ZD dans la chaîne d’approvisionnement des aliments; 2. dresser une liste […]

Recently, principles gleaned from research on learning have been applied to change people’s brains. Specifically, there is evidence that how the brain communicates can be changed through the application of positive and negative reinforcement, a concept known as neurofeedback. Importantly, researchers claim that by changing how the brain communicates, neurofeedback can change behaviour and reduce […]

La crise de la COVID-19 a frappé durement le secteur de la restauration au Québec. Les fermetures de salles et le télétravail ont conduit les consommateurs à adopter de nouvelles pratiques d’achat. En réponse, les restaurateurs ont adapté leurs offres et se tourner, notamment, vers la restauration livrée. La valeur que les consommateurs accordent à […]

Single occupancy vehicle travel leading to congestion in urban areas is a significant problem. Congestion has numerous economic, social, and environmental impacts that negatively impact the prosperity and vitality of an urban area. One method for counteracting these negative impacts is known as travel demand management (TDM). TDM is a broad set of strategies that […]

Le bruit des ventilateurs est une problématique de santé et sécurité au travail importante. Ainsi, des mesures effectuées sur des ventilateurs installés dans des mines du Québec ont montré des niveaux de bruit supérieurs à 100 dB(A), ce qui peut entrainer des lésions auditives majeures. D’autre part, dans les mines, le bruit des ventilateurs peut […]
