Adoption of cover crops and reduced/no tillage is limited due to farmer observations of yield decline impacting farm income and profitability. One main obstacle is the issue of planting in soils laden with surface crop residue, which forms a kind of mat that impedes planting operations, thereby delaying emergence, reducing plant stand, and ultimately lowering […]

INLAN is pushing the boundaries of today’s asset-tracking solutions by innovating a highly scalable real-time asset-tracking technology. Implementation cost, tag cost, and system accuracy are the three primary parameters that need to be considered when evaluating an asset-tracking system. Obtaining high level of accuracy however, comes with several technological difficulties, among which the multipath effect […]

Le projet partenarial vise la création de biocatalyseurs dits de 2e génération pour la revalorisation de biomasse oléagineuse usagée (huiles de fritures, graisses d’abattoirs). Les procédés actuels de transformation chimique de cette biomasse ne sont pas assez performants et Odyssée Biotech veut offrir une solution alternative et durable aux entreprises qui souhaitent produire des biolubrifiants. […]

CdZnTe (CZT) semiconductor crystals are used as X-ray detectors in state-of-the-art medical CT scanners. These devices are sensitive to individual X-ray photons and enable tissue selective X-ray imaging with reduced radiation dose to the patient. The CZT detectors function by converting absorbed X-rays into electrical signals that are subsequently analyzed by a computer to make […]

Dans le contexte international où les risques sont de plus en plus interconnectés, divers types d’entreprises se trouvent particulièrement exposées aux crises. Pour éviter des impacts, par exemple, sur le plan économique ou de la sécurité du personnel, de nombreuses entreprises développent des outils d’analyse et de gestion des risques. C’est dans ce contexte que […]

Every day, people put their teeth at risk by eating foods that contain a lot of sugar. A lack of brushing teeth causes the build-up of bacteria. The bacteria use the sugars present in these foods to cause the weakening of teeth and if left untreated, can lead to holes and cavities in teeth. The […]

Oats and faba beans, often wasted in current processing methods, can be transformed into valuable food products. This can increase their economic potential and lessen environmental impact. Our proposal breaks down crop residues into sugars and lignin. Sugars are fermented into single-cell protein, while lignin is converted into vanillin. This vanillin, combined with sugars, produces […]

A consequence of modern development of low-permeability (‘unconventional’) reservoirs using multi-fractured horizontal wells (MFHWs) is inter-well communication. Because inter-well communication can affect well performance for many wells, oil and gas operating companies are interested in the development of easy-to-implement, but effective, reservoir engineering methods for quantifying inter-well connectivity between MFHWs. Current methods for quantifying inter-well […]

robotic TMS coil holder will be developed with the primary objectives of being low-cost and providing a haptic interface for intuitive user manipulation. The key approach to achieving these goals is through reducing the system to the minimal components and working envelope. Frameless neuronavigation methods are capable of easily placing the coil within millimeters of […]

Sedimentary rocks undergo chemical and physical alteration as they are buried beneath Earth’s surface. Understanding these alteration processes is important in understanding the rocks potential as groundwater aquifers, in understanding the geohazards they may pose, and more. The Dawson Bay Formation is a 385-million-year-old limestone present across Saskatchewan that had a peculiar set of conditions […]
