This project is intended to help the industrial partner, Stelco, to develop electrical steels with improved magnetic properties through controlled thermomechanical processing. Electrical steels are widely used in the manufacturing of stators and rotors of electric motors used in general rotating machines and electric vehicles. Improving the magnetic properties of electrical steels would result in […]

Municipal solid waste (MSW) is one of the challenges the urban communities are facing throughout the world. Identification of optimal MSW management option(s) is difficult because of the complex and variable nature of MSW and the various environmental and economic criteria for a particular community. This research will mainly focus on studying Metro Vancouver MSW […]

RNA interference mediated gene silencing provides one of the most effective treatments for many genetic diseases such as cancer and viral infection. However, due to the many difficulties siRNAs would face during systemic pathway, a delivery system is needed to protect it from degradation and endosomal entrapment, and also to facilitate the unloading of the […]

L’elaboration d’un plan de marketing et la mise en ceuvre programmee des ressources marketing font partie d’un processus qu’il faut mettre en place pour atteindre les objectifs de I’entreprise Charlebois. La planification marketing est susceptible d’avoir un impact majeur sur les resultats commerciaux de Charlebois. II s’agit donc d’evaluer la situation concurrentielle de I’entreprise et […]

Une très grande majorité des skieurs alpins ont une très grande conscience environnementale et ceci est en partie dû au fait que la nature est avant tout leur terrain de jeu. À travers le vaste éventail de modèles de skis disponibles sur le marché, aucune option d’achat écoresponsable n’est disponible pour les clients ayant une […]

Le contexte du projet est que les réfractaires sont des produits manufacturés qui bénéficient de plus en plus des résultats de recherche sur les nouveaux matériaux qui sont développés pour l’industrie aérospatiale. En effet, il y a de plus en plus de composites utilisés comme matériaux réfractaires et les protections de ces matériaux réclament des […]

Wireless sensors have attributes such as distributed sensing and wireless connections that make them attractive for civil infrastructure monitoring. A wired physical connection dramatically increases the cost of monitoring systems. For example, the St. Anthony Falls bridge in Minneapolis was reported to cost $3000 per sensor. Wireless sensors are an attractive solution to this problem. […]

Cryptosporidiosis is the infection by the parasite Cryptosporidium that can cause life-threatening diarrhea in children

La forêt canadienne est réputée pour sa diversité biologique, pour la qualité des bois qu’on en extrait, et de plus en plus pour la multitude de services écologiques qu’elle fournit aux humains, comme par exemple la villégiature, la chasse ou la cueillette de petits fruits, Malgré qu’elle soit très vaste, cette forêt n’est pas résistante […]

The proposed research focuses on bogie dynamic load monitoring using intelligent sensor networks. The existing monitoring systems have several problems including inability to monitor precisely, difficulty in integration with the existing units, and high cost. The proposed research will examine these issues in detail focusing on five main areas: wireless sensors, product definition, prototype development, […]

Wood plastic composites (WPC) are a family of composite materials in which wood particles are mixed with a thermoplastic resin (polyethylene) to offer weight reduction, good thermal properties, acoustic insulation, cost reduction, as well as high stiffness and strength. Virgin thermoplastics are generally used in the WPC industry, but plastics are seen today as one […]
