Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RISs) are man-made surfaces of electromagnetic (EM) material that are electronically controlled with integrated electronics and have unique wireless communication capabilities. However, a major limitation of current research on RISs is the lack of accurate and tractable models that describe the reconfigurable meta-surfaces as a function of their EM properties. In addition, […]

Le cancer de l’ovaire est le cancer gynécologique le plus mortel en Amérique du Nord. Le traitement de 1ere ligne repose sur une chirurgie de résection combinée à une chimiothérapie à base de carboplatine et de paclitaxel. Malheureusement, chez une femme sur quatre, ce traitement s’avérera inefficace, occasionnant des effets secondaires lourds sans gain clinique […]

high cost of deep-sea petroleum exploration requires the pursuit of new technologies to ensure that Canada’s energy demands continue to be met. The Scotian Margin has proven economic grade reserves and it is certain that undiscovered deposits further lie within the extensive region. However, these sites may be in deep water settings thereby requiring the […]

Suicide is one of the most important causes of deaths in the prison environment, both in Canada and internationally. Rates of attempts of suicide and self-harm have been on the rise in recent years.

Sea ice thickness measurement is very important since it can be considered as an indicator of the state of ocean circulation and associated air-sea heat exchange within the Polar Regions. As a result, it can have a significant impact on global heat balance and ocean thermohaline circulation. However, obtaining sea ice thickness in a large […]

Methanobiofiltration (MBF) is a new technology for the treatment of waste methane gas using a biological process, thus contributing to the reduction of the environmental impacts of current energy technologies. The lack of a complete technology package needed for various industry sectors has hindered its large-scale application in Alberta. With the fundamental knowledge and extensive […]

Promoting the use of renewable energy such as biogas produced from organic waste is one of the main alternatives to achieve more sustainable development strategies. Anaerobic Digestion (AD) is an efficient and proven technology, which can be employed to convert Organic Waste to Biogas, and to reduce global methane emissions. The main objective of this […]

One of the ways to reduce the use of antibiotics in the poultry industry is to produce healthier and stronger chicks right from the hatch. In traditional practice, newly hatched chicks are not fed until they are transported to the production units. The hatching widows and transportation lead to delays in feeding and starvation of […]

In the context of a global increase in waste production and waning natural resources, this research intends to promote the shift to a circular economy in the Ontario construction industry. The work includes a literature review, an industry survey, structured interviews, and a period of testing assessment tool(s) with real projects for local use. The […]
