Youth are tomorrow’s leaders, parents, professionals, and workers, as well as today’s assets. However, the disengagement and out-migration of rural youth are critical challenges for rural communities and regions. In the Lower Columbia and surrounding West Kootenay-Boundary region these challenges are compounded by struggles to meet existing labour force needs. This project will review, summarize, […]

Dans le but de traiter des eaux usées issues de l’activité minière, différentes techniques doivent être soumises à des essais-pilotes étant donné la nature de la contamination – à savoir, des hauts débits et très chargée en divers polluants. Le projet permettra d’évaluer la faisabilité technique et économique de l’enlèvement de l’azote ammoniacal à l’aide […]

The shared platform model is emerging as an innovative organizational structure. The proposed research aims to gain a deeper understanding of shared platforms strengths, barriers to success, and their potential impact on the social enterprise sector in a rural area. The shared platform organizational model provides two distinctive features for both business supports and mentorship […]

Landfilling of waste is an operation that has huge impact on both water and air quality. Modern landfills can be designed to minimize impact on groundwater resources and reduce Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) in old landfills, which typically undergo a slow, anaerobic biodegradation process that produces methane gas. It is estimated that global methane emissions […]

Global population growth, urbanization and changing climate patterns have increased the demand for potable water, wastewater reuse and value recovery from wastewater, and treatment of industrial process water. Population growth also results in increased demand for the shipping of goods by ocean freight, with the associated risk of the transport of unwanted marine life from […]

Including an abundant supply of natural gas, British Columbia will become a leading contender for liquefied natural gas (LNG) growth and export, which can support economic activity in the province for over 150 years. Simulation of LNG plants is critical since the investigation and review of critical plant design elements will significantly improve plant performance […]

L’objectif général de ce projet est de démontrer l’efficacité de procédé d’EOA en développement à l’INRS-ETE afin d’éliminer divers types de polluants notamment de type organique présents dans les eaux résiduaires issues des CTDD et ce, grâce à la combinaison des effets direct et indirect du courant électrique. Ces travaux devraient permettre de répondre aux […]

À l’aide de mathématiques financières et de statistiques salariales, ce projet aura comme objectif de trouver une valeur monétaire à la connaissance de manière à évaluer le coût maximal d’une formation sur le marché québécois. La firme de consultant Capital MRH se servira de cette recherche afin de démontrer la valeur ajoutée de ses interventions. […]

To support research and practices that aim to analyze and improve traffic systems, accurate traffic state estimation is required, which is usually based on ground truth data obtained from monitoring infrastructures. The most common way to monitor traffic nowadays is by using inductive loop detectors, the costs of which are too high to be used […]

This Mitacs Accelerate proposal is the second of three-phase project of Adriana’s Goncalves master’s thesis. For this Mitacs-Accelerate renewal proposal, it will be investigated further flotation process targeting recovery of 80-90% considering a previous technical feasibility study conducted on material from a representative sample of ASM tailings from Costa Rica. The tailings belong to a […]

Le projet GausLight Splatting vise à mettre au point une nouvelle façon de transformer les données recueillies par des capteurs laser 3D (appelés LiDAR) en modèles numériques réalistes et faciles à explorer. Ces capteurs produisent des nuages de points, un peu comme des milliards de petites coordonnées dans l’espace, qui sont très précis mais difficiles […]

Today we are failing to properly and completely treat organic wastewater which results in large amounts of sludge buildup and many untreated emerging contaminates that are shaping and changing our environment. If we ignore this problem: we will see an increased need for resources to development new and very expensive mechanical processes to manage sludge, […]
