During the proposed internships, smart-grid integrated adaptive corrosion protection system (ACPS) will be developed as a stand-alone unit to provide optimum corrosion protection along with the nanostructured local data storage and off-grid powering. This will allow the continuous monitoring of the corrosion status of the metal infrastructures (e.g. transmission towers) along with the power-grid monitoring […]

Dans un système audio, les haut-parleurs sont les principales sources de distorsions non linéaires dans le son. Le système électromécanique de ces derniers produits des distorsions harmoniques et d’intermodulation, ce qui cause une dégradation de la qualité du son. Ces effets sont particulièrement considérables dans les basses fréquences, là où le déplacement mécanique de la […]

B- Le deuxième volet en aval vise à déterminer les pratiques de […]

The industry partner is a producer of a successful seaweed based plant product used globally to improve plant growth. However, a large amount of waste byproduct, termed seaweed insoluble residue, is created as a byproduct of the production process. This residue has been found to contain a large amount of the original seaweed biomass. By […]

L’exploration de données est le processus d’acquérir des modèles, des connaissances et des informations à partir d’un ensemble de données et les transformer en une structure compréhensible et explicable pour une utilisation à l’avance. Dans notre application, un algorithme intelligent nous aide á gagner du temps et bien s’assurer de la concordance de l’article au […]

Fescue prairie has reduced in Western Canada, because of human activities including housing development and land clearing. Urban development can impact natural ecosystems by eliminating the majority of native species, thus changing the richness and composition of the species. Strategic restoration efforts may reduce the effects of urban expansion on native ecosystem by protecting natural […]

Presently medical personnel do not have adequate tools to assess disorders of conscious awareness after severe brain injury if the patients have difficulty speaking & moving. These people are frequently deemed unresponsive when they may be “in there” but unable to respond. Our research team has developed a rapidly administerable, portable system that measures brain […]
