Teck Resources Limited is exploring ways to improve water treatment efficiency as part of its commitment to responsible environmental practices. While various technologies are currently in the piloting stage there is no need to continue exploring potential treatment options for future implementation. The objective of this project is to generate technical and engineering information that […]

Climate change puts new stresses on plants like severe weather conditions or the easier spreading of diseases. Thus, protecting our native and agricultural plants becomes a key challenge for the agriculture and forestry industry. However, present approaches e.g., using strong herbicides are lacking in the sustainable point of view. A more sustainable approach to plant […]

When a patient seeks treatment, it is crucial to involve them in the decision-making process. One way to do this is to have a scale/measure that allows for the patient’s input on the goals that are most relevant to them. Goal attainment scaling is one measure that involves patients by including a collaborative goal setting […]

A DT in the manufacturing field will be used to link the physical and digital worlds, resulting in a virtual replica of a product or process that exposes real-time data and allows for the execution of advanced control schemes. The integration of both physical system and data-based approaches for the construction of the DT can […]

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 […]

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 […]

The rapid shutting down of daycares and schools due to COVID-19 have left many new Canadian families isolated due to limited proficiency in English and small social networks. In regular school programs, teachers have expressed that reaching families who do not speak the language of schooling has been particularly challenging due to the language barrier. […]

The project aims to collect accessibility data in rural municipalities in six town across Canada. These six municipalities include Salmon Arm and Golden, BC., Sylvan and Banff AB., and Rosetown and Maple Creek, SK. The accessibility data will look at a variety of different features that will deem a public business (hotels, restaurants, public services, […]
