Hydra Energy Corporation Commercial Demonstration Project based in Prince George, British Columbia 12.4 MT/day of waste hydrogen will be captured, purified and transported to an onsite hydrogen refueling station from which Class 8 tractor-trailer truck fleets will refuel daily. Hydra’s demonstration project can provide a significant reduction in fleet greenhouse gas(GHG) emissions, Particulate Matter and […]

Le nombre d’espèces qui nous entourent est si important qu’il peut être ardu, même pour les spécialistes, de toutes les identifier. Cela est particulièrement vrai pour les insectes. De plus, avec l’avènement des technologies mobiles de l’information, la quantité et la qualité des images disponibles n’a jamais été aussi importante. Grâce aux appareils photos numérique […]

En milieu rural, plusieurs PME ne peuvent se développer à leur plein potentiel car elles peinent à embaucher une main-d’œuvre qualifiée et engagée. Compte du contexte actuel de pandémie qui invite l’ensemble des travailleurs à revoir et à se recentrer sur leurs besoins personnels et professionnels, les PME doivent plus que jamais être à l’écoute […]

Crosslight Inc. is a leading provider of technology CAD tools for the design and simulation of semiconductor devices. They are also developing innovative gallium nitride (GaN) HEMT which is considered as one of the next generation materials for power electronics. Because of the material properties of GaN are different from the traditional silicon semiconductor devices, […]

Electric vehicles (EVs) industry is a promising solution to address the oil crisis and environmental pollution. There are some challenges that limited the widespread adoption of EVs such as limited driving range, long charging time, and safety consideration. To tackle these challenges, the battery management system (BMS) in electric vehicles requires substantial improvement. For instance, […]

This project aims at studying the powder characteristics in the laser powder-bed fusion of Ti-6Al-4V. As an additive manufacturing technique, the laser powder-bed fusion process produces metal objects layer-by-layer using a laser source. Ti-6Al-4V is being used in the aerospace industry because it offers high strength-to-weight ratio and outstanding corrosion resistance. This collaborative work between […]

Highly infectious COVID-19 has had widespread effects on Canadian and global health, security, and economy. While vaccines play a key role in preventing viral diseases, various measures should be taken to slow their spread. Among preventative measures, disinfection systems are of paramount importance to battle COVID-19. The objective of this project is to design and […]

Patients most vulnerable to COVID-19 have pre-existing illnesses, including diabetes and heart disease. Two potential treatments in clinical trials for COVID-19 are the anti-malarial drug, hydroxychloroquine, and the antibiotic, azithromycin. These drugs can cause side-effects, including cardiac arrhythmias which can lead to heart failure, that make them inappropriate for the most vulnerable COVID-19 patients. Cardiac […]

Les blessures ou lésions au travail constituent la 2e cause la plus importante d’invalidité au monde. Afin d’aider les travailleurs dans leurs tâches et réduire l’exposition aux blessures, l’utilisation d’exosquelettes est une avenue prometteuse. Il existe déjà plusieurs exosquelettes d’assistance pour la production automobile et les industries manufacturières, mais ceux-ci ne sont pas adaptés aux […]

L’objectif principal de ce projet consiste à développer une formulation de béton électriquement conducteur basé sur l’utilisation des résidus de bauxite calcinés. Les retombées de ce projet de recherche pour le Canada sont doubles puisqu’elles permettront, dans un premier temps, une valorisation de produits recyclés issus de la production d’aluminium canadienne, réduisant ainsi l’impact environnemental […]

Strategies to promote immune defences against COVID-19 infection are urgently needed. The gastrointestinal tract is a potentially important route for COVID-19 infection and for generating protective anti-viral immunity against this pathogen. Certain features of COVID-19 contribute to its ability to evade and subvert our immune defences. Type I interferon is a key immune protein that […]

This project deals with the development of new mathematical models and solution methods to optimize naval surface ship refit operations. The Naval Surface Ship Work Period Problem (NSWPP) is a highly complex resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) with many work orders that are equivalent to small projects. Planning, scheduling, and executing NSWPPs are very challenging, […]
