Ce projet a pour objectif principal d’acquérir des données sur la consommation électrique des chargeurs pour véhicules électriques. L’acquisition de ces données se fera à l’aide de contrôleurs de charge déployés dans des immeubles à logements et en copropriété. Ces données serviront à améliorer le processus de gestion de la charge des véhicules électriques et […]

Patients are facing excessive wait times at hospitals, especially within Emergency Departments. Long wait times expose patients to unnecessary risks, and are very costly to hospitals. In addition, a number of governmental and medical guidelines impose limits on patient wait times. This has prompted hospitals to explore technologies that can enhance patients flow and reduce […]

Plant based or vegan meat applications in the marketplace is experience a large market push, as demand for vegan products increases. To produce vegan sausages, casings are typically produced out of seaweed polysaccharides (e.g., carrageenan). However, this has limitations as clients are demanding increased criteria, such as locally grown or made from local Saskatchewan ingredients. […]

Project Objectives: 1. To identify the best practices in knowledge recombination by comparing science-based multinational corporations and start-up firms. 2. To suggest refinements in alliance strategies for science-based multinational corporations and start-up firms. 3. To uncover processes and organizational structures to productively exploit the confluence of biotechnology and nanotechnology by MNCs. Post Doctoral Fellow Name: […]

Le vieillissement des systèmes de production hydroélectrique nécessite la réfection des groupes turboalternateurs dans les centrales. Considérant que l’arrêt de turbines pour des périodes de maintenance impacte directement la production hydroélectrique, il est nécessaire de considérer ces maintenances dans les plans de production. Actuellement, les modèles d’optimisation de la production hydroélectrique et les modèles de […]

Around half of the world’s population are living in some form of earthen building. Compressed earth blocks are widely known as a low-cost material that has high thermal capacity, low environmental impact, and ease of construction. The project will address three items: material characterization, development length of steel reinforcing bars and performance under freeze-thaw cycles. […]

The key objective of this research is to measure the quality of in-feed materials of wood pellet plants around the provinces of British Columbia and Alberta. This research will include the collection of in-feed materials from at least eight plants and a series of experimental measurements in in-feed properties such as moisture content, ash content, […]

Thales développe le Hospital Optimizer, un outil pour gérer l’utilisation des salles d’opérations en les affectant à différentes équipes médicales. Cette allocation tient compte de la demande, des disponibilités médecins, de la disponibilité des salles et des types de chirurgies pouvant être effectuées dans chaque salle. Si la version courante du Hospital Optimizer prend bien […]

Continuous miner (CM) optimal performance depends upon various factors which controls the rock-bit (cutter) interaction, including the type and geometry of the bits (cutters), operational parameters (drum speed, advance rate and etc.) and geological setting of the target rock. According to the conducted investigation on CMs performance at Goderich mine, although, these machines have improved […]

L’exposition au bruit ambiant en milieu urbain a des effets néfastes sur la santé et le bien-être des populations selon l’Organisation Mondiale de la Santé. Parmi les sources de bruits, ceux engendrés par les aéronefs figurent souvent en tête de liste dans les grandes métropoles. Dans cette optique, Bell Textron Canada Limitée (fabricant d’hélicoptères) en […]

This project aims to develop a tool that would assist EXKA, a company that produces and sells seedlings of cannabis, to plan the propagation of a variety of cannabis types in order to meet the customers’ orders on time. EXKA employs different ways to grow a cannabis plant, therefore the project will coordinate the growth […]

The objective is to develop models that can identify types and frequency of process inefficiencies that may eventually result in the decline of production at the mills below a certain threshold level. The outcome of this project is an early detection of process inefficiencies that will enable the operation team to predict production outcomes ahead […]
