Avec une infrastructure construite et en opération, les activités principales d’EDF EN Canada passent de la phase développement vers l’opération. Cette nouvelle phase nécessite un suivi des performances de toutes les éoliennes de toutes les centrales éoliennes d’EDF EN Canada. Les outils qui seront développés et validés durant ce projet seront des éléments essentiels pour […]

In order to understand how public policy promotes and/or hinders the development of an ethical culture in LTC, facilities must explore the interaction between public policy, organizational policies and procedures, and frontline staff ethical decisions and actions. LTC organizations want to provide high quality of care, and quality of life, to the older adult population […]

Visual analytics (VA) potentially has a great range of applications within healthcare. CAREX and Engage Data will investigate, with the intern, the uses of VA for data analysis and visualization to support real-world carcinogen-related explorations related to the use of the eRISK Online web-based tool developed by CAREX. Engage Data is specifically interested in understanding […]

Video contents and applications become integrated in everyday life and demands for high-quality videos, such as 4K, are increasing. Even modern optical equipment introduces inevitable noises that may heavily mask video content. Environment conditions such as low light, results in more video quality degradation. Therefore, a video-enhancement technique is required to reconstruct the original non-noisy […]

The fuel-grade ethanol obtained from corn-based feedstocks, utilizes about 33% of the total carbon present in corn based feedstocks. The remaining fraction is converted into dry distillers’ grains (DDG) and carbon dioxide, which is then converted to syngas (CO+H2). In this research the syngas from ethanol plant will be converted to transportation fuel and derived […]

Le remblai sans retrait (RSR) est un matériau auto-compactant à très faible résistance pour remplir les excavations nécessaires aux réseaux souterrains des services publics. L’avantage principal est de rétablir la circulation rapidement après la construction. Certains doutes existent sur les pratiques sur le chantier. L’objectif est de mettre au point une méthodologie du contrôle de […]

Soft tissue sarcoma is a disease that affects patients of all ages and have profound societal impact. On average 17 life years per patients are lost due to sarcoma, which is 2-3 times more than bowel, lung, prostate or breast cancer. Patients with soft-tissue sarcoma represents one the top 5 most important cancer cause of […]

The project performs comparative study of simplified and rigorous approaches to analysis of lightning strike discharge through complex 3D structures of the power line towers and their grounding systems. Simplified models of the commercial tools such as PSCAD and TFlash will be compared to the new rigorous electromagnetic model (EM) based on full-wave algorithms analysis. […]

Carbon Engineering (CE) is currently building a demonstration plant to capture carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere to combat climate change using a technique called direct air capture (DAC). This project will focus on determining the effectiveness of this plant at pulling carbon out of the atmosphere under various operating conditions, while also looking at […]

SYM-TECH Inc. is looking to develop new corrosion-free precast concrete members (sleepers and piles) reinforced with fiber-reinforced-polymer (FRP) rods and using fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) for railway foundation applications. Such precast concrete members are usually reinforced with conventional or pre stressed steel reinforcements. Steel bars and strands used for reinforcement have a limited service life […]

Sensing technologies require the deployment and maintenance of complex and large infrastructures. This research proposal is focused on people’s activity recognition technologies though existing WiFi infrastructures. The information gathered by this technology can be applied to different industries like home automation, security, etc. In the future, this technology will powered applications in the home automation […]

During my PhD studies at Dr. Tabrizian’s lab I developed a rapidly-gelling injectable chitosan sponge. This biomaterial has been investigated to target spinal cord and bone repair after an injury. It is injectable, which makes it easy to administer inside the body; it is rapidly-gelling, which ensures its localization after injection; and it has physicochemical […]
