The greenhouse industry constantly strives for innovative solutions to reduce production costs and environmental footprint. Greenhouses commonly generate process water including nutrient feedwater and other non-production wastewater. They also use fertigation, a soil-less drip irrigation method that requires large quantities of water and nutrients. Due to sharp reduction of available phosphorus (P), P recovery from […]

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technology has advanced significantly in recent years. With the aerial data, analysis provides solutions to government agencies and industries, including the energy and forestry sectors, as well as urban/rural planning. Among the many aerial data modalities, RGB images play an important role in the analytics process. Our research problem involves segmenting […]

Le projet vise à évaluer pour la forêt boréale mixte les changements qui se sont produits dans la strate de sous-bois sur une période de 20 ans et cela en fonction d’une chronoséquence après feu couvrant une période de près de 250 ans. L’étude sera menée dans la zone de conservation (c’est-à-dire une zone sans […]

This project would address basic unanswered questions about how the application of environmentally benign process (i.e., biohydrometallurgy) on mine ores and tailings can leach and extract base and, precious that are essential for today’s “smarter” technologies. Bioprocessing methods for bio-extraction and bio-recovery of elements offer a new potential sustainable alternative compared to chemical conventional approaches. […]

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most common liver disorders worldwide. NAFLD could lead to end-stage liver disease and considered as one of the most common causes of liver transplantation. Moreover, a large number of liver transplant recipients develop NAFLD after transplantation due to side effects of the medications that they have […]

Ce projet de recherche crée une synergie novatrice et inédite entre les secteurs des arts et du génie. À partir de cette synergie, ce projet a pour objectif général de repenser et de redéfinir le paradigme de fabrication d’objet en impression 3D ainsi que des préconceptions liées à la production et à la gestion des […]

L’épinette noire est une espèce commerciale et des éclaircies sont couramment pratiquées pour en augmenter la productivité. Pourtant, les résultats ne sont pas toujours ceux escomptés. Il est important de comprendre pourquoi l’effet sur la croissance peut parfois être absent. Chez le pin gris, il a été démontré que la réponse à l’éclaircie commerciale était […]

This project will ‘bring to market’ a new and innovative fishery by-product business in Grand Rapids/Misipawistik Cree Nation. This business is significant for Grand Rapids/Misipawistik Cree Nation as it will enhance the viability of fisheries in this community, enhance food security for those enjoying healthy and affordable fish products and stimulate economic development in northern […]

The objective is to develop a Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) algorithm to be implemented on the tractor-trailer type vehicle used in the AIS called a Cart Puller. This vehicle is to work fully autonomously in a nursery farm, while carrying planted pots (loaded onto the plant carts) toward their loading stations. By using SLAM, […]

The Fisheries and Marine Institute of Memorial University is partnering with Grieg Seafood Newfoundland to provide 9 internships to students from the Advanced Diploma in Sustainable Aquaculture graduating class of 2021. The proposed project seeks to provide HQPs to assist Grieg in optimizing the novel equipment and systems that will be installed in their land-based […]

AIS Inc. is at the forefront of developing practical mobile robots for various markets. Mobile robots are considered as very complex systems comprising of hundreds of interacting components in complex system architectures. Developing such complex robotic systems, particularly in large scale, requires a coherent collaboration and engagement on various specialized areas such as scientific research, […]
