The Mandatory Entry-Level Training (MELT) virtual reality (VR) truck simulator under development by Serious Labs Inc. offers a training solution for boom and scissor lifts. MELT in Alberta is a Class 1 training program in compliance with the National Safety Code Standard 16 Commercial Truck Driver Entry Level Training. The purpose of this research project […]

Ce projet porte sur le développement d’une plateforme de forage de haute performance en aluminium, hybride électrique-diesel destiné aux secteurs pétrolier, minier et géothermique. Le projet prévoit principalement l’analyse d’un prototype en tenant compte des aspects de sécurité, la stabilité et la facilité d’entretien. Dans cette perspective, le groupe de recherche de l’Université du Québec […]

The care and safety of Persons Living with Dementia (PLWD) within assisted living and other communal living models is extremely important. One key symptom of dementia is disorientation for time and/or place and this can lead to wandering behaviours for residents. Overnight in care homes, the limited is focused on required resident care cannot watch […]

To support blue hydrogen economy processes that generate CO2 as a by-product, and greenhouse gas (GHG) sequestration studies in general, the injection and storage of CO2 into deep (~1500m), un-minable coal seams hosted in the Mannville Formation of Alberta will be studied. A vertical (pilot) well will be drilled, cored, and completed in the target […]

Despite growing concerns about the number of overweight and obese cats and dogs there has been little success in reducing the prevalence of pet obesity. The veterinary industry and prominent pet care companies, including Royal Canin, have indicated that reducing the prevalence of pet obesity remains a priority to protect the health and wellbeing of […]

Les risques extrêmes des chaines d’approvisionnement sont des événements caractérisés par une fréquence faible et un impact très élevé : catastrophes naturelles (tremblement de terre, tsunami ou inondations), catastrophes industrielles (Incendies, explosions…), ou grèves. Les épidémies représentent un cas particulier des risques extrêmes des chaînes d’approvisionnement, avec un impact très fort et immédiat sur la […]

Graphene is a recently discovered two-dimensional material with remarkable properties that scientists and industry are intensely striving to understand and exploit. It can be used in energy applications (e.g., batteries and supercapacitors for electrical vehicles), as conductive thin films for solar panels, as membranes for water desalination, and in antibacterial and antiviral coatings. ZEN Graphene […]

Un marché public est dit « durable » lorsqu’il arrive à concilier les trois piliers du développement durable (économique, environnemental et social). Au Canada, rien n’oblige les acheteurs publics à imposer des spécifications techniques ou des critères de développement durable (critères environnementaux ou sociaux) dans les appels d’offres. Pourtant, de nombreuses entités dans le monde […]

International legislation and growing environmental issues have put a lot of pressure on companies and manufacturers to minimize and recycle scrap. Such demands have had significant consequences for the rubber tire industry to use recycled rubbers from the scrap tire. As such, this research project is an initiative taken by the Nanomaterials and Polymer Nanocomposites […]

The telecommunication industry is rapidly evolving towards providing faster services to accommodate the global surge in network demand. The next-generation (5G) network aims to increase the current network speed by more than twentyfold. This transition brings enormous benefits for the economy and society. A main challenge faced by network providers, however, is that the existing […]
