The primary goal of this project is to identify, develop and promote a digital low carbon plan for NB residential consumers. This will encompass various economic opportunities for the province to take concrete actions to achieve its GHG emission targets by accelerating the reduction of GHG emissions of the existing housing stock as explored in […]

Il existe peu de données publiées sur les propriétés des matériaux composites, notamment à cause de la complexité des essais à réaliser pour les caractériser, ce qui rend difficile la modélisation de leur comportement mécanique. Dans ce contexte, une méthode d’essai non destructive pourrait s’avérer particulièrement intéressante afin de caractériser les matériaux composites et d’en […]

Biodegradable polymers can be good replacement of their petroleum-based counterparts, which is a very important aspect for achieving our net-zero target. However, we have limited knowledge about their long-term mechanical properties such as mechanical fatigue performance, to ensure their durability and safety for different applications. Although our recent published work proved their excellent fatigue performance […]

According to recent studies, cyber-attacks and privacy and security breaches have increased in number and impact, costing Canadian companies $6.75 million on average per incident. Developing secure software products requires professionals to collaborate in multi-disciplinary environments characterized by a lack of common terminology and access to shared information and knowledge. These settings can lead to […]

With the demand for high quality farmed fish on the rise, we are also expected to deliver on greater supplies of fish feed. Currently, fish feed is manufactured by capturing small foraging fish in the ocean, which are converted into pellets. This practice hinders marine life by disrupting the natural food chain of larger fish. […]

The reclamation and management of tailings generated during bitumen extraction is important to oil sands industries. Using end pit lakes (EPL) is one of the methods for permanent reclamation of tailings. Lake Miwasin is an EPL that was recently established, and it uses a new treatment technology for tailings’ storage. A pilot-scale demonstration pit lake […]

A phase change material (PCM) can store and release a large amount of heat through a solid/liquid transition when it is available for the later heating and cooling applications. However, PCMs have a very low thermal conductivity that leads to a higher charge and discharge time. To increase their thermal conductivity, I added nanoparticles to […]

With the rapid development of the economy, the demand for electrical energy storage is also increasing. However, the lack of high-efficiency, economical and reliable energy storage technologies makes it difficult for current electrochemical systems to utilize renewable energy and enable the circular economy fully. As an efficient and green energy storage device, the supercapacitor has […]

Many animations and videos have high frame rates — meaning many still frames are shown to the viewer per second — in order to give the viewer motion information needed to parse the video. For example, expressive dancing sequences are usually shown in high frame rates because they contain large motions, and often a human […]

Resuming operations following COVID, Aquila needs a to hire a candidate familiar with digital marketing to implement and continue the work of a Digital Strategy developed in March 2022. This project will help us with the development and implementation of a sales plan for our tours in the fall offered to cruise passengers. In this […]

This research project investigates the role of political staffers in Canada’s representative democracy. Working with the leading expert on political representation, Dr. Sarah Childs (University of Edinburgh), this project explores how political staffers contribute to the process of political representation. Political staff are the first, if not only, point of contact for constituents. This project […]

Whilst, perceptions of effort have received increasing attention, the perception of pain has received much less attention despite its inherent role during voluntary activities such as exercise. Pain is defined as “an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with, or resembling that associated with, actual or potential tissue damage”. As such, pain is a regular […]
