La sécheresse qui perdure depuis plusieurs années en Californie entraîne les producteurs agricoles à modifier leurs pratiques culturales pour faire face à cette nouvelle réalité. Ce projet de recherche appliquée vise à définir la régie d’irrigation optimale pour la production d’amandes qui maximisera l’utilisation des ressources naturelles telles que l’eau et l’énergie nécessaire pour pomper […]

This project seeks to develop new methods for imaging oxidative and vascular function in the brain. The methods under development are based on widely available MRI hardware, which will make them feasible for use in future clinical drug trials, an application that is of interest to the partner organization CQDM. Before the approach is ready […]

Approximately 2.6 million people in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland depend on the Seymour, Capilano and Coquitlam watersheds for clean, fresh drinking water. A key component of maintaining watershed health and resilience is understanding the relationships between climate, fire and vegetation within the Water Supply Area. As the climate warms these relationships will likely change, […]

Humans possess the ability to see objects as having the same color even when viewed under different illuminations. Cameras inherently lack this capability. A process called auto white balance (AWB) has to be applied by the camera to mimic this behavior of the human visual system. AWB is one of the first steps in a […]

The Peace River Regional District (PRRD) and the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC), are collaborating on the development of a solid waste management plan (SWMP) whose foundation is based on the five “R”s as outlined in A Guide to Solid Waste Management Planning (2016) produced by the British Columbia Ministry of Environment1. The hierarchy […]

This project/research is based on creating AI models that assist in determining blood glucose levels in individuals that have been diagnosed with Diabetes and classify changes in their risk-levels over a period of time. This research will be carried out by Ian Ho, student at Queen’s University pursuing his Bachelor’s in Applied Science – BASc, […]

La bioénergie est l’énergie produite à partir de biomasse. Dans sa Politique énergétique 2030, le gouvernement du Québec vise une augmentation de 50% de la production de la bioénergie par rapport à 2013; il s’engage à soutenir particulièrement la production de bioénergie provenant de la biomasse forestière. Mais cette filière tarde à se déployer au […]

In the last decade, DevOps has emerged as the prominent approach to increase agility, productivity, and quality in the software industry. DevOps is a software engineering approach that aims at continuous improvement through the use of a systematic approach. It advocates for automation and monitoring at all stages of software development and operations. Based on […]

Ce projet de recherche est effectué avec le Groupe Jenaco, œuvrant depuis plusieurs années pour une amélioration des pratiques et une approche participative des acteurs de l’industrie pour adresser les enjeux associés au changement rapide de culture qui s’impose pour l’industrie de la construction. Le projet s’insère dans cette dynamique et vise à développer une […]

The purpose of this partnership between the University of Alberta and the Canadian Lymphedema Framework (CLF) is to support the CLF’s mission to promote best practices in risk reduction, early diagnosis and treatment of lymphedema. Lymphedema is a swelling that occurs in a limb or body region as a result of damage to the lymphatic […]

Dam failures may lead to catastrophic consequences, extending far beyond the immediate neighbourhood of the dam site due to sudden reservoir release or overtopping. The main objectives of this research project are: (i) to apply state-of-the-art simulation tools to investigate the seismic response of a real dam in Quebec to formulate guidelines on the significance […]

Adult Chinook and Coho Salmon migrate to a variety of marine regions around the North Pacific. Along these migration routes, the contaminants they encounter and consume will vary. These returning salmon are consumed by humans and Southern Resident Killer Whales, and the health risk they pose will be dependent on their migration routes and diets. […]
