Les expositions aux émanations de moteur diesel (EMD) sont omniprésentes et les chauffeurs de véhicules diesels constituent des groupes à risques au regard des fréquences et des intensités d‘expositions. Plusieurs méthodes ont été proposées pour évaluer l’exposition professionnelle aux EMD mais peu d’études comparatives sont disponibles et aucun consensus ne semble émerger. Le projet proposé […]

Adding hydrogen to the intake stream in a commercial truck diesel engine can reduce the vehicle’s CO2 emissions. Combining hydrogen available from industrial waste processes with a low cost and robust fuelling system offers a near-term, economically attractive approach to reducing the greenhouse gas emissions from commercial trucking. To support the development of this technology, […]

N/A Please add the Project Overview as I was unable to locate it. Thank you!

In many applications, we need to find the right person with the required expertise (skills) for some task. To enable this, it is necessary to extract and organize the skills of different persons in a taxonomy. This project aims at developing a taxonomy of skills for the National Bank of Canada. Currently, a small taxonomy […]

The only treatment for celiac disease (CeD) is a strict gluten-free diet, which is very difficult to follow. Despite following gluten-free diet, many celiacs experience ongoing inflammation and symptoms, highlighting the need for additional therapies. We have shown that celiacs have an altered composition of bacteria in their gut, and this leads to defective bacterial […]

The proposed project is dedicated to fast resistance and inductance extraction for multiconductor transmission lines. Since the complexity of power cable designs has grown significantly over the past decade, fast and accurate tools for electromagnetic characterization are required. The cable models presently used by Manitoba Hydro however are overly simplified compared to the ones available […]

Monitoring the quality of perishable food is critical for reducing the societal costs. A wireless intelligent gas sensor based on biomass/heavy oil-derived activated carbon will be prepared to monitoring the spoilage of food. Agricultural/forest biomass residual materials such as straw, sawmill waste, and logging residue, and cheap and abundant bitumen are feedstocks yielding high porous […]

This project investigates the feasibility of growing cannabis (Hemp) in space on the International Space Station. Hemp represents an ideal crop due to it being a highly productive species creating significant amounts of oxygen, essential nutrients, and various products (including textiles, oils, and plastics if processed). As human space exploration increases in frequency and reaches […]

EPCOR Distribution and Transmission Inc., an electric utility based in Edmonton is looking to figure out the inspection intervals on its distribution assets. In the case of pole-mounted transformers and wood poles, fixed interval inspection performed by EDTI might not detect potential risks immediately. Also, it often resulted in the decision of no action required. […]

Using simplified language understandable to a layperson; provide a general, one-paragraph description of the proposed research project to be undertaken by the intern(s) as well as the expected benefit to the partner organization. (100 – 150 words) This project aims to increase image datasets by not doing experiments or collecting physical checks. Instead, the image […]

Le projet de recherche se déroulera sur une période de trois ans. Lors de la première année, l’objectif est de développer les liens d’influences entre facteurs de vulnérabilité dans le but d’y cartographier l’écosystème existant afin de mieux comprendre comment ces différents éléments affectent le processus décisionnel de dopage chez les athlètes. Cela se fera […]

Groupe Domax est une entreprise spécialisée dans l’intégration et l’opération de lave-autos mécanisés en Amérique du Nord. Groupe Domax prévoit se positionner comme le nouveau leader mondial en ce qui a trait au lavage automatisé et écologique, et ainsi se démarquer favorablement dans un marché de 19,6 milliards de dollars seulement en Amérique du Nord.
