The COVID-19 has changed dramatically the educational environments in all countries over the world. Due to the pandemic, online education has played an important role over the past two years while in-person classroom teaching had to be prevented. Under the present pandemic circumstance, although a quite number of courses at many universities had being held […]

Glass Fibre-Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) materials have emerged as a promising material in civil engineering applications due to their superior characteristics such as light weight, high strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion. Thanks to these features, GFRP bars have been used in many civil infrastructure applications. However, there are still opportunities to benefit from this innovative […]

NTN Canada wants to build a Loyalty Program Mobile App that will be used by their clients to collect and redeem award points based on the NTN products that they sell/purchase. This functionality will be achieved through a client facing mobile application and web-based admin panel for NTN Canada office.

Circle Neurovascular Imaging (Circle NVI), a wholly owned subsidiary of Circle Cardiovascular Imaging (Circle CVI) and a joint venture with the Calgary Stroke Program, is building a software as a service business aimed at providing physicians with an acute stroke decision aid tool, StrokeSENS™ that will leverage artificial intelligence (AI), advanced image-processing, and network connectivity […]

Biomass residues from forestry operations (sawdust, bark, pulp and paper sludge etc.) have a myriad of potential applications if repurposed, however are often simply disposed of in landfills or stockpiled at sawmills. In this work we will investigate hydrothermal processing of two of the highest volume of residues produced; sludge from pulp and paper processing […]

Due to the growing number of scrap tires, its related environmental impact of improper scrap tires’ management, and the circular economy concept, devulcanization plants are growing all over the world to reproduce high-quality rubber that can be reused in high-quality tire manufacturing. Therefore, growing concerns are the effective & efficient facility layout, environmental policy for […]

Les conditions climatiques et géographiques et les particularités socio-économiques de la population ont fait du Canada un pays propice au développement d’une flore fongique sécrétrice de toxines naturelles, les mycotoxines. Ces mycotoxines s’avèrent de puissants contaminants de l’environnement et particulièrement de la chaîne alimentaire. A l’heure actuelle, la situation est davantage aggravée par la multi-contamination […]

Physical inactivity is associated with impaired removal of sugar from the blood after a meal, or insulin-resistance and a reduced muscle mass and fitness. While exercise is well-established to prevent these impairments, it may not be feasible in some clinical conditions. Therefore, passive interventions that mimick the stressors and elicit the benefits of exercise may […]

Le projet de recherche consiste à réaliser une preuve de concept entourant la compréhension, la conception et le développement d’un démonstrateur en vue du développement d’un futur prototype R&D de produit d’entrainement intelligent grand public dotée d’une technologie électronique avec capteurs. La technologie développée permet de mesurer et récolter des données sur la trajectoire du […]

Currently, our commercial borate-based “Cobra rod” glass is being used to preserve utility poles, doubling or trebling the lifetime and is a key to enhancing lifetimes of wood distribution and transmission power poles. Our main objective is to successfully process our glass into fibres, beads, and glass fibre mats like those used in the insulation […]

The population is rapidly ageing worldwide. In 2030, 23% of Canadians will be 65 years or older, a demographic shift accompanied by an increase in age-related health problems bringing about social challenges requiring innovative solutions. AI driven technologies are presented as promising avenues both for individualized health monitoring and self-management and to facilitate social participation […]

This work will examine a novel “smart” insole that allows for the quantification of specialized running metrics and will compare the outputs with the gold-standard measure of metabolic work. The insoles work by collecting pressure data from many sensors embedded in the insole, and sending this to an phone app. We are comparing the insoles […]
