This project seeks to address new stormwater management and flood control measures by proposing a smart blue roof at Credit Valley Conservation’s (CVC) main office building. The blue roof system will temporarily capture rainwater using the roof as a storage reservoir and then allow the water to evaporate and/or to be used for non-potable requirements […]

Dans le cadre de ce stage nous désirons réaliser la vieille concurrentielle technologique et ainsi de se positionner et comprendre ce qui doit être bonifié, corrigé ou développer pour le présent et le futur du nouveau procédé manufacturier innovant en développement en ce moment. Pour se faire une analyse des différents processus actuellement utilisés et […]

Fighting against financial crime is a battle that humanity is losing as a whole. Money Laundering is the critical component of any criminal activity that needs to be profitable. Therefore, fighting money laundering is fighting against all crimes including terrorism, human trafficking, drugs and wildlife trafficking. The United Nations (UN) estimates 2 trillion USD is […]

In a complex environment like mineral extraction, it is difficult to back the cause-effect relationship between a specific process variable and the overall performance (output, cost, GHG emission) with scientific principles. Consequently, process data is used to deduce an empirical correlation between the process variables and their estimated effects. In the present project, process data […]

Safety is one of the greatest concerns during projects lifecycles, due to the potential risks and hazards inherent in their activities. To reach an acceptable level of safety in projects and guarantee a hazard-free work environment, some structured approaches should be applied. In this respect, Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) analysis is a systematic process for […]

This research project aims to understand the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health and addiction care utilization in Nova Scotia. Mental health challenges have increased during the pandemic, affecting individuals’ well-being due to factors such as social isolation, economic strain, and heightened stress. Our study will analyze data on outpatient physician visits, community-based […]

Mind wandering refers to when attention shifts away from the task at hand towards unrelated thoughts, which can interfere with learning. Researchers have identified various signs of mind wandering, such as changes in eye movements, heart rate, and brain activity. These signs can then be utilized to train computer models that predict when mind wandering […]

The importance of ecosystem services to human well-being, and of management of water and other watershed resources in maintaining such services, is not commonly understood by the general public, and not well-enough articulated by environmental management and governance organizations. Beneficiaries of such services are often unaware of the nature of their dependence upon supporting ecosystems. […]

In order to maintain the quality and safety of dried cannabis, it is essential to control microbial contaminants through post-harvest irradiation. This research study focuses on the identification of optimal dosages for effectively reducing fungal pathogens in dried cannabis using customized Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) technology, which employs a basic form of electronic beam (e-beam) […]

Radiographic Testing is a versatile non-destructive testing method that uses either x-rays or gamma rays to examine the internal structure of components identifying any defects in various industries. Digital radiography has replaced screen-film radiography and is used extensively in inspections of insulated pipes in petrochemical industries. The principal task of this project is to assess […]

The objective of this project is to evaluate the effect of feeding high levels of vitamins to gestating sows on their immune response to vaccination against E. coli, on the transfer of maternal immunoglobulins to piglets and piglets immune response against E. coli, on the metabolism of vitamins during gestation and on sows reproductive performance […]

Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a natural polymer produced by certain bacteria in the form of nanaofiber. Being a natural nanobiomaterial, it has been investigated for a broad range of applications ranging from headphone diaphragm to wound dressing and medical implant. The biochemical process for BC production using the well established bacterium, A. xylinum, is limited […]
