As the “second skin” (Horn, 1981) for many of us, clothing has become an indispensable part of our everyday life. The growing awareness and interest in sustainable clothing allow us to examine the correlation between sustainable consumer culture and the recent “eco-conscious” cultural movements. The proposed three-component mixed-method will give us the opportunity to understand […]

Zinc is extracted from sulfide ore by roasting – calcine leaching and direct pressure leaching of zinc sulfide, followed by zinc recovery from sulfate solution via electrowinning. Impurity elements in zinc sulfate solution must be lowered to levels suitable for electrowinning. The removal of many impurity elements is achieved using zinc dust cementation. However, when […]

Modern power systems are expected to provide an uninterrupted supply of power to its consumers. Faults occurring in transmission lines can lead to extended outages if they are not quickly repaired. When a transmission line is hundreds of kilometers long and passes through difficult to access terrain, locating the faulted point is very important to […]

Ischemic stroke is caused by a blood clot within the blood vessels of the brain. A common technique to remove the blood clot is by using medical devices that can reach the clot through the arterial system. To properly deploy such devices, visualization of the blood vessels, clot, and therapy devices is required. This is […]

The proposal aims to develop a new technology that modifies forest residue such as logs and lumber into value-added wood products. British Columbia (BC) has an abundance of residual fiber from clear-cut logging, which includes small diameter logs, branches, and underutilized wood species such as aspen logs. The goal is to support BC’s wood industry’s […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

Le projet consiste à réaliser la collecte, la préparation et l’analyse des données de l’entreprise Teknion R&B en vue de développer un modèle prédictif de la demande, en exploitant les données internes brutes. Le projet consiste aussi à explorer l’utilisation de différentes techniques d’analyse de données et d’apprentissage automatique pour automatiser le processus de traitement […]

L’amélioration de la vie des patients atteints de cancer passe par une meilleure thérapie et un suivi clinique personnalisé. Pour atteindre cet objectif, notre groupe a co-développé un nouveau modèle de cancer en 3D à partir d’explants de tissus miniatures d’animaux ou d’humains appelés “tissus micro-miniature qui préserve la viabilité des tissus grâce à un […]

The research project examines fast aerodynamic numerical models for use in the aircraft analysis and design phase. Such models must be rapid by their very formulation whilst also removing needs for complex preprocessing steps such as mesh generation. The chosen approach is known in the literature, using a coupling algorithm between 2D high-fidelity and 3D […]

Our founders Leonard and Mark started buying and selling from auctions until they thought of a new and better way to buy and sell. From there, the development went forward and utilized the power of e-commerce and digitalization. They used a new strategy and built it to help give alternatives to the traditional auctions. The […]

Thin-films of carbon are finding use in a wide variety of military, industrial, and commercial applications. Arnell Workshop Inc., a West Kelowna, British Columbia-based cosmetic jewellery manufacturer, is using thin-films of carbon in order to coat titanium rings. As of the present moment, they are using an American firm in order to perform these depositions. […]

In a complex environment like mineral extraction, it is difficult to back the cause-effect relationship between a specific process variable and the overall performance (output, cost, GHG emission) with scientific principles. Consequently, process data is used to deduce an empirical correlation between the process variables and their estimated effects. In the present project, process data […]
