Within a watershed, data are collected on various aspects of water (amount, withdrawals, returns, contaminant concentrations) by multiple groups, yet rarely shared at the basin scale. To reduce data “siloing” and make collected data available to multiple users interested in water management within a watershed context, data from multiple sources must be combined. Advancing Canadian […]

This research is designed to assess various factors related to the dispersal and recovery of the Peregrine Falcon in Manitoba. As the Peregrine Falcon continues to be designated “Endangered” in Manitoba and “Threatened” nationally, data regarding survivorship, mortality factors, habitat use, and movements are required to guide future management activities related to the provincial Peregrine […]

The NSERC Strategic Network for Smart Applications on Virtual Infrastructures is a five-year partnership between Canadian industry, universities, researchers, research and education (R&E) networks, and high performance computing centres to investigate the design of future application platforms that will deliver software applications of greater capability and intelligence. These application platforms will be supported by an […]

L’objectif de cette étude est d’analyser les paramètres physiques et d’opération qui contrôlent la clarté à la surverse dans un décanteur dans le but d’y abaisser la concentration solide. L’étude comprend deux volets : l’un théorique qui consiste au développement d’un modèle mathématique et l’autre expérimental pour la validation et la caractérisation. Le modèle mathématique […]

Geomechanica Inc. develops simulation software (Irazu) for rock engineering applications. This numerical software has been used in several peer-reviewed research publications in the rock mechanics field. A key challenge in the numerical modelling of rock masses is the selection of appropriate input parameters. The objective of this work is to develop a solution to streamline […]

La rémunération des dirigeants d’entreprise constitue un enjeu de gouvernance de premier plan. Ainsi, la plupart des conseils d’administration nord-américains sont dotés d’un comité de rémunération. L’ampleur des sommes en jeu ainsi que l’influence potentielle des incitatifs mis en place sur les décisions des dirigeants sous-tendent ces préoccupations. Toutefois, la rémunération des dirigeants est également […]

Traditionally, the forest management practice in the Dawson City area (YT) has been clear-cut management, in which all trees of a given area are harvested. As the local First Nation (the Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in Nation) seek to become more involved in the management of the local resources, the opportunity has arisen to transition to an alternative […]

The proposed project fits within a broad initiative in offshore oil and gas exploration geoscience mapping led by the Nova Scotia Department of Energy (NSDoE), the project’s End User. The province has partnered with Dr. Casey Hubert (University of Calgary) to develop, validate, and deploy three new genomics-based bioassay tools for offshore prospecting on the […]

The proposed project contributes to the development of a product for use in public spaces to provide LED lighting which is made interactive through sound responsiveness. This sound responsiveness is made possible through the use of modern micro-computers which can be programmed to use sounds in the environment to create different lighting effects. Unfortunately, this […]

The proposed internships will be aimed at developing advanced computer (software) and hardware platforms for simulation of modern power-electronic converter systems used in emerging electric power transmission systems. In particular, modular multi-level converter (MMC) simulations will be targeted. These converters are considered the primary candidates for dc systems used to integrate renewable energy sources into […]

Mobile games have been dominating the Canadian video game industry over the past few years. However, the growing number of game releases creates an increased necessity to focus on quality in order to stick out of the mass. While storytelling has proven to greatly increase user engagement in PC and console games, it is rarely […]

Le projet vise à créer un outil de recherche, de base de données et d’aide à la décision en matière de conformité dans les firmes d’ingénierie et chez les entrepreneurs de la construction. Il faut d’abord rechercher les articles et documents qui traitent le spectre de la conformité dans les firmes d’ingénierie et chez les […]
