The intern will develop and evaluate new algorithms to improve the accuracy of short-term wind power forecast. The algorithm will be fed with near real-time data (wind speed, wind direction, air temperature, power production, turbine availability) from wind farms in order to improve the forecast over the next 24h. Once the best algorithm has been […]

Flow, the psychological state of being totally absorbed into an activity, has been suggested to be an important topic for future research as it represents ‘optimal experience.’ This research seeks to understand 1-how to facilitate flow while engaging with virtual reality products and 2-the outcomes of experiencing flow in regards to attitudes towards virtual reality […]

Understanding the genes involved in variation of complex traits is termed genomics. Genomics can provide new tools that can be used to easily and accurately select animals for economically important traits. This exercise will generate large numbers of DNA markers that can be used to find the genes that explain variation in such traits. These […]

The Bicknell’s thrush (Cathurs bicknelli) is a rare songbird with the most restrictive breeding range in North America. The Bicknell’s thrush spends its summer months breeding in high elevation, stunted growth forests – a habitat that the species specializes in. In New Brunswick, there has been a documented population decline of 11.5% per year since […]

E-waste is one of the fastest growing waste streams in the world in terms of volume and its environmental impact on the planet. Printed circuit boards represent a major portion of the e-waste that contains higher values. The metal fraction from the circuit boards is extracted for its value while the non-metal fraction is often […]

In this project, an advanced silicon-based lithium ion battery will be manufactured. The expected energy density is 750-1000Wh/L and cycle life is about 2000 time (capacity remaining rate>80%), which means the working time of your cell phone, laptop can be extended to 3-5 times on a charge and they can maintain a good working condition […]

Emerging contaminants in drinking water are coming under increasing scrutiny as hazards to human and aquatic health. These compounds include pharmaceuticals, industrial chemicals, Endocrine Disrupting Compounds and others. At present, the technologies for treating these compounds are costly and inefficient. Photocatalysis has been identified as a promising technique for treating these emerging contaminants in a […]

This proposed research project is an extension of a previous NSERC CRD project that is developing improved control of the hydrogen fuel supply to Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFCs) used in FC buses. The models developed in this research are expected to give improved hydrogen leak detection and fuel supply control during FC module […]

Microplastic pollution is an emerging threat to marine environments. Microplastics (small plastic polymers

La simulation en temps réel de système d’électronique de puissance et de réseau électrique exige de faibles pas de calcul afin d’obtenir une précision sur les phénomènes transitoires. Pour répondre au besoin de sa clientèle, OPAL-RT technologies offre des produits de pointe qui sont contraints par un problème non trivial, les délais de communication. Plus […]

More than any other life stage, the hatching of eggs is the most important factor in the maintenance of dabbling duck populations. Rates of nest success are suppressed by predators like foxes, coyotes, skunks, and crows. Populations of these predators can be artificially high due to habitat alterations resulting from human development. The Delta Waterfowl […]

Étant donné que les technologies de l’information sont de plus en plus utilisées, les fournisseurs doivent assurer la maximisation de la bande passante de leurs installations en tout temps. Pour les réflecteurs embarqués sur les satellites, cela signifie qu’un minimum de distorsion thermique est souhaitable pour obtenir un maximum de performance. Ces distorsions thermiques apparaissent […]
