Currently, two common technologies that use thermal energy directly to produce cooling are being used in the industry – absorption chillers and steam ejectors. Both are traditional technologies that suffer from serious limitations. MRT is developing a novel Binary Fluid Ejector that can overcome the limitations of prior art to produce a heat pump that […]

Balance BioGas is a small start-up business with limited resources and experience in the field of economic feasibility analysis. The partner will benefit greatly by having Kaitlin (the intern) develop an economic feasibility model for biogas business development in Yukon. This model will provide strategic direction for Balance BioGas moving forward as a business venture. […]

Crop models such as the Agricultural Production Systems sIMulator integrate multiple disciplines such as plant science, soil science and meteorology to understand crop growth, development, and yields under various production systems. Currently, there are no canola crop models employed in western Canada that can assist growers in simulating the impact extreme weather events may have […]

Le projet contribuera à l’actualisation du positionnement de l’analyse féministe intersectionnelle de Relais-femmes en travaillant à articuler les liens entre féminisme intersectionnel, écologie, économie et santé. Pour ce faire des objectifs spécifiques ont été ciblés : 1) mettre à jour la documentation scientifique sur les thématiques ciblées; 2) analyser les productions antérieures de Relais-femmes portant […]

The area around Atlin, northern BC, contains high concentrations of gold in river gravels. This gold came from gold-bearing quartz veins, which were eroded by the rivers. Different researchers have proposed that the gold in these quartz veins is sourced from mantle rocks, or two different granites nearby. The recent discovery of gold-bearing quartz veins […]

The proposed project is to develop a Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) model capable of using Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data to automatically analyze whether there is a risk of forest fire due to vegetation management around electric equipment. The model automatically classifies points in a LiDAR scan to determine whether there is direct contact […]

Alors que les communautés autochtones souhaitent s’impliquer davantage dans le domaine de l’archéologie, peu d’information a été consolidée sur les actions entreprises par différentes communautés du Québec. Cette étude veut rassembler les différentes actions ayant été posées par les communautés autochtones du Québec à l’égard de leur patrimoine archéologique, autant du point de vue de […]

The efficiency and productivity of the construction industry has been stagnant due to lack of innovations in technologies, as compared to other industries (e.g., manufacturing, etc.). The digitization of the workflows can help the construction companies to become agile and collecting process related data, which can be further used for decision making and continuous improvement […]

Malgré la présence de ressources de soutien dans les organismes sportifs, les recherches effectuées auprès d’athlètes de haut niveau suggèrent la présence de barrières au recours aux services. L’objectif de cette recherche est d’étudier la prévalence et la prise en charge de la santé mentale des athlètes en développement selon l’environnement sportif afin de pouvoir […]

Im/migrant populations, particularly youth, experience higher rates of unmet sexual and reproductive health (SRH) needs. In the absence of culturally appropriate and accessible SRH care, they may face an increased risk of harm when engaging in normal, healthy sexual behaviours for their age. We hope to describe and analyze the individual, sociocultural, economic and immigration […]

When designing a Collaborative Service Robot (CSR) for Long Term Care Facilities (LTCFs) its appearance and how its look and feel is perceived by its human counterparts play an essential role in its acceptability. This fact highlights the importance of gaining user feedback during the design process. In this project, we will adopt a user-centered […]

Ce projet va analyser la gouvernance démocratique (GD) des organisations d’économie sociale (OES) au Québec en vue d’illustrer une diversité de situations où cette pratique incarne la spécificité des OES mais aussi de leur complexité. Au Québec, l’économie sociale regroupe plus de 11200 coopératives, mutuelles et associations à but non lucratif, actives dans tous les […]
