The 4th industrial revolution, Industry 4.0, promises to create completely flexible production lines with automated-guided mobile robots. To enable this transformation, 1/0 devices (e.g., sensors and actuators) require not only a 5G Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communication (URLLC) but also a deterministic and bounded low latency with a guaranteed data delivery and extremely low data loss. In […]

New innovative technology is proposed for converting residual feedstocks, like petcoke and asphaltenes, into valuable products such as humic acids. This novel approach process employs an ultrasound technique in an aqueous alkaline media to create OH radicals at low reaction conditions and thus enhancing the formation of humic acids. The process has high efficiency, conversion […]

During the intended internship, the industry partner aims to develop machinery for the niche tool grinding sector that can potentially boost current industry technology. This machinery targets immediate launch to market a unique CNC grinding system to be characterized by an unsurpassed flexibility owed to its 14 motion controlled axes, with multiple serial manipulator robots […]

In this research, we will be identifying the factors that affect retention of nurses in the rural areas, and particularly we will be exploring how such factors including the organizational culture, and the academic preparation of the nurses affect the retention of nurses in the rural areas. It is the objective of this research to […]

The proposed device, that has been requested to Sciencetech Inc. (SCI) during the past few years, is an innovative way to analyze the light generated by modern high intensity light sources in many areas of research, and in particular in those using Solar Simulation (space research, agriculture, biology, medical, semiconductors solar cells and renewable energy […]

Blockchains have evolved from an obscure technology powering bitcoin to a multi-billion- dollar research area. From the financial tech industry, healthcare, digital identities, and government services, blockchains are touted as a revolutionary new mechanism for communication and transactions. As popularity in blockchain technology increases, many are left in the dark as to how this technology […]

Chaque panneau d’aile d’avion de l’entreprise Sonaca est fabriqué d’une façon unique qui repose majoritairement sur le savoir-faire de ses opérateurs. Actuellement pour valider la conformité de ses panneaux, l’entreprise utilise une technique matérielle et manuelle où les panneaux sont souvent amenés à subir des ajustements avant d’être certifiés conformes vu le caractère unique de […]

Additive Manufacturing is a rapidly growing technology in the gas turbine industry. Its numerous advantages allow for the design of complex shapes which have not been possible in the past, using conventional manufacturing method. The parts could be manufactured on demand, with reduce cost and lead time. Selective Laser Melting is the common method to […]

International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for loss allowances are changing, and financial institutions are proactively adapting existing methodologies and developing new ones to remain compliant. The main ingredient in the myriad of evaluations that banks are required to perform for compliance is risk assessment. The first goal of this research project is to review best […]

BCNET’s mandate is to provide shared technology services such as cloud computing, VoIP, disaster recovery solutions, and telepresence to its members using an advanced network connected to the backbone of the Internet. Today, the core members of BCNET are UBC, UVic, SFU, BCIT, TRU, and UNBC. Any attack may interfere in the operation and the […]

The rationale for stylizing ‘harm reduction’ in lower case as per Monica Tula, (ED, Harm Reduction Coalition): “When we talk about harm reduction, we often reduce it to a public health framework, one of reducing risks. That is harm reduction with a small h-r. Harm reduction is meeting people where they’re at but not leaving […]
