In this research, we propose the design of an efficient automated system which can effectively learn from the patterns of malicious activities, in the form of distributed denial of service attack (DDoS) against web servers on the Internet, and subsequently offer potential victims protection against such attacks by banning such requests in advance. A DDoS […]

La filière de l’hydrogène est en pleine effervescence au Québec. Pour accélérer son déploiement, de nouvelles utilisations de l’hydrogène doivent être ciblés. L’industrie lourde, ses activités industriels et les parcs industriels et portuaires qui les abritent sont de potentiels utilisateurs d’hydrogène. Ce projet vise à identifier de nouvelles utilisations de l’hydrogène dans un parc industriel […]

Induced seismicity is the occurrence of earthquakes which are triggered by various activities related to natural resource extraction or energy production, such as underground mining. The hazard from induced seismicity needs to be carefully assessed and quantified for safe planning and execution of those economic resource or energy-related activities. Mining and exploration industries in Canada […]

A new computational model will be developed that allows the industrial partner to design more efficient sand separation devices for the oil and gas industry. The computer model will be developed within an open source software, which means that, in addition to benefiting the industrial partner directly, it will also contribute to the increased accuracy […]

Switched Reluctance Motors have gained considerable attention in various applications such as vehicle electrification due to its advantages such as simplicity, robustness, compactness, and low-cost. The proper, and efficient operation of the SRM triggers the requirement for an optimal motor drive design. Traditional converter design in power electronics has some limitations such as slow time […]

Dairy calves are generally fed whole milk or milk replacer during the first weeks of life. Compared with whole milk, milk replacer containing vegetable oils has a higher polyunsaturated fat content. More specifically, it is high in omega-6 and low in omega-3 fatty acids, making the omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acid ratio ten times higher […]

Food insecurity is a significant concern in Northern Canada, and the Whitehorse Food Bank was established in 2009 as a non-profit organization dedicated providing food to the hungry. Prior to COVID-19, all clients were required to come into the Food Bank to receive emergency food, whereas now the Food Bank is distributing food to communities. […]

Brazing and braze welding is like welding in that it joins metals using heat and filler metal but differs from welding in that the temperatures used are not hot enough to melt the base metal. The type of filler metal used during brazing and braze welding is significant because it directly impacts the strength and […]

Flood damage to residential homes, particularly from basement flooding, causes significant damage to homes, hardship for homeowners, and is a major component of insurance claims in Canada. A number of programs have attempted to reduce basement flood risks yet the combinations of low risk perceptions by households, limited perceived private returns to investments, and a […]

Podcasting is a rapidly growing medium for reaching new audiences. Our research explores the impacts and outcomes of a new podcast series that seeks to bridge divides, dispel stereotypes, and expand public understanding of the diversity of the Muslim experience today and the issues and ideas that define Muslim art, culture and society globally. The […]

This project will develop a general method to identify optimized parameters for laser cladding. The use of powder feed permits laser processes to be used for complex material systems, each with their own unique characteristics and behaviour. To identify suitable operating conditions, industrial practitioners rely heavily on historical experience with limited scientific basis and an […]

Lighten Up Electric (Lightenup), an electrical contracting company based out of Moncton, New Brunswick, have targeted market potential for small-scale residential renewable energy systems in the Maritime region of Canada. The Maritime Provinces have large and undeveloped potential around solar and wind energy capture, but also large potential for development of sustainable design in construction. […]
