The coastal marine regions of Canada are an excellent source of renewable energy. Tides and currents are predictable in space and time so ideal for tidal energy. Coastal areas with strong currents are also popular with marine mammals often providing good feeding opportunities. However little is known about how marine mammals will be affected by […]

Dans l’optique de lutter contre la problématique de prolifération des cyanobactéries dans les plans d’eau, le phosphore contenu dans les rejets d’eaux usées est ciblé par un resserrement des exigences de rejet. Dans la continuité d’une collaboration entre le CRIQ et l’Université Laval dans le développement de technologies d’épuration passives, les plus récents travaux ont […]

The role of infectious disease in declining productivity of wild salmon in BC is poorly understood. We will combine novel genomic technologies with traditional fish health methodologies and more broadly identify the microbe exposure of BC salmon. By doing so, we can examine their evolutionary relationships and their epidemiological distribution patterns over time and space […]

This proposal uses ANSYS multi-physics software to perform a stress and thermal analysis and real time workshop simulation study of the new proposed IPM-ESP motor drive technology. A multi-domain system design environment can be done in the ANSYS multi-physics to provide a thorough picture of the system analysis.

Organ transplants save patients with severe end stage organ failure but the need for subsequent lifelong immunosuppression can lead to a number of undesired consequences including the reactivation of viruses of donor or recipient origin. Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection is the most common opportunistic infection in transplant patients and can lead to significant morbidity and […]

Today 25% of patients listed for liver transplantation die waiting for a liver to become available. The donor organ pool could be expanded by rescuing the 50% of livers donated after cardiac death (DCD) that are discarded due to the injury caused by prolonged periods of warm ischemia during organ retrieval. Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSC) […]

Lately, predictive analytics as emerged as a vital area of study for both researchers and practitioners. This trend researches into large volumn of data for hidden patterns and relationships to gain data-driven insights and predict future outcomes. Predictive analytics can help the inside sales industry obtain optimum value from a large amount of data they […]

Face à la forte progression des protocoles de communications et du nombre d’usagers, de nouvelles techniques numériques de traitement des signaux ont été introduits dans les systèmes actuels de communication mobile et sans fils pour garantir : un fonctionnement en multi-bande, une transmission d’un grand volume de données à très haut débit ainsi qu’une gestion […]

Le projet a pour but d’améliorer la prévision du risque d’avalanche de neige sur les deux principales routes du nord de la Gaspésie. Depuis 2004, plus de 450 avalanches ont été rapportées sur les routes 132 et 198 par le ministère des Transports du Québec (M.T.Q.). Le stage a pour objectif l’analyse et l’évaluation de […]

Projected climate change is expected to alter fire regimes across the boreal forest, which in turn will affect forest community structure, composition and diversity. The intern will examine the effects of changes in climate, and by extension, fire cycle, on the presence of three most common tree species in the boreal forest of Canada. Specifically, […]

Loads on the electricity grid are increasingly being viewed as potential controllable assets, rather than just a traditional load that generators must supply. This evolving view of loads in this manner has spurred the development of demand response methods for controlling the loads in real time in response to market price and regulation signals. In […]

This proposed research and development project is intended to create an Integrated Approach to Recovery of Mature Oil and Gas Asset Production and to achieve Strategic Lifecycle Liability Discharges in the oil & gas industries. Tansley Associates Environmental Sciences (TAES) and Athabasca University (AU) each have excellent talent pools and facilities with specific strengths in […]
