Currently halogen-based flame retardant is widely used as cable covering material in various industries including oil and gas, transit and industrial utilities. Studies have concluded that these materials will produce toxic gases and acidic fumes, and also persistent against degradation in landfill. These negative consequences resulted in a progressive regulatory restriction on use of halogen-based […]

Jumine propose, à l’aide d’un jumeau numérique, de développer l’intelligence nécessaire à la détection d’anomalies dans le procédé de flottation, une partie importante du procédé de traitement du minerai. Jumine doit créer un jeu de données pour concevoir un modèle de détection, qui permettra de signaler en temps réel les anomalies présentes dans le procédé […]

Canada is in the midst of an opioid epidemic. Although oral opioid agonist therapies (OAT) are effective for the treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD), a number of barriers pose a significant challenge to treatment initiation and retention. In 2018, Health Canada approved a new medication for OUD, a once-monthly injection, which may be able […]

Since the end of whaling, the population of humpback whales feeding in the Canadian Pacific waters has been steadily increasing. As generalist feeders, these large cetaceans aggregate near the coast of British Columbia to feed on krill, Pacific herring, and other schooling fish. Yet, the consumption of prey by humpback whales in Canadian Pacific waters […]

Bien que l’outil soit dans un état avancé tant au niveau de la conversation écrite qu’orale, et ce aussi bien en […]

Nowadays, aircrafts use computer-regulated flight control systems that replace mechanical controls with electronic interfaces. These sensor interfaces convert physical movements or quantities (temperature or pressure for instance) to electronic signals between flight control computers (FCCs) and actuators and sensors. A large number of sensor interfaces are used in an aircraft to allow FCCs communicating with […]

Plants are always associated with a well-coordinated and beneficial community of microbes – the phytomicrobiome; this plus the associated plant forms the holobiont, the entity that provides crop yield. There is considerable communication between the phytomicrobiome and the plant, often through signal compounds. Bacillin 20 is a small protein (a peptide) produced by a Bacillus […]

Additive Manufacturing is a rapidly growing technology in the gas turbine industry. Its numerous advantages allow for the design of complex shapes which have not been possible in the past, using conventional manufacturing method. The parts could be manufactured on demand, with reduce cost and lead time. Selective Laser Melting is the common method to […]

Natural health products have become integral to many personal routines and the Canadian economy as a $9 billion industry. But recent problems within China and India, which currently have a stranglehold on raw materials, are endangering the health of this growing sector. Replacing foreign sources with traditional batch production means is foolish since domestic labor […]

General Fusion is pursuing a fast, efficient, and collaborative path to practical fusion power. Its vision is a world with clean, limitless energy, and General Fusion’s mission is to deliver it using its proprietary Magnetized Target Fusion technology. General Fusion is building a Fusion Demonstration Plant to prove this technology and will require numerous state-of-the-art […]

In the Canadian boreal forest region habitat fragmentation due to linear disturbances (roads, seismic explora-tion, pipelines, and energy transmission corridors) is a leading cause for the decline of wood-land caribou (Rangifer tarandus) – boreal population; and as a result, a deep understanding of linear disturbances (amount, spatial distribution, dynamics) has become a research and forest […]

Geospatial data (e.g. location of the business branches, fleet of online delivery vehicles) is a crucial part of online marketplaces, as their developers need easy-to-integrate tools that efficiently perform searches across said data. This project will explore novel approaches to improve state-of-the-art searches for objects with geospatial attributes. In this project, interns will develop computer […]
