The goal is to develop a best practice guide for the commercial real estate sector, focusing on the legal duties of Canadian directors and officers in respect of managing climate change, best practices for corporate boards, reporting on the latest research globally on best climate governance practices in the commercial real estate sector.

The most energy intensive component of mineral processing is comminution (crushing and grinding), consuming, on average, about 50% of the total electric energy of a mine site. To optimize and thereby improve the energy performance, accurate measurement of the ore hardness is critical. The proposed study is aimed at developing a new test apparatus that […]

La définition du projet représente la première étape d’un projet architectural où les besoins des usagers sont définis et la solution architecturale est proposée. Elle représente une étape importante dans la création des espaces utiles et efficaces. Cependant, la définition du projet est une tâche difficile surtout lorsqu’il s’agit des projets complexes tels que les […]

Challenge: The most critical step in discovering future medications is the identification of the initial hit compounds (“leads”) that interact with target proteins and which have the desired properties. The search for and validation of potential lead compounds is a major challenge for launching drug discovery programs as this process requires highly specialized expertise, expensive […]

Canada’s modern landscape has been strongly influenced by the formation and subsequent melting of glaciers during the last glaciation. Glaciers have a wide range of effects on near surface sediments including moving and reworking them to form new deposits. Understanding the actions of the glaciers and the shape, characteristics and variability of the resulting sediments […]

L’objectif général de ce projet de recherche est d’étudier des approches statistiques et computationnelles pour permettre l’analyse automatique des données structurées et non-structurées dans le contexte de décision péda-gogique et dans le cadre d’un outil tel que Reussito. Afin d’étudier la pertinence de ces approches, le projet se concentrera sur le développement des algorithmes d’analyse […]

Implementation of low cost techniques for automation is critical for various industries. At Fourien, we are developing various types of analytical instruments and robotic solutions for a variety of clients. Instead of installing multiple sensors in our technologies, we can employ computer assisted image recognition to implement various levels of automation in our different platforms […]

Climate change has been projected to increase the frequency and severity of extreme weather (wildfire) and increase the prevalence of vector-borne infectious diseases (such as West Nile Virus and Lyme disease), which will potentially affect the insurance sectors through increased claims, financial losses, and the development of uninsurable risks. This review will follow a rapid […]

Conventional wastewater treatment processes consume a large amount of energy and produce around 32% of municipal greenhouse (GHG) emissions. Thus, advanced wastewater treatment technologies with low energy consumption and GHG emissions are highly desirable for environmental protection. Aerobic membrane bioreactor (AeMBR) has been widely used for municipal and industrial wastewater purification. However, the AeMBR technology […]

MANTECH’s has business strategy is to complete direct experimental validation of the PeCOD patented technology in strategic sites in the Western Provices, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia. In Manitoba, this includes working with the University of Manitoba at the International Institute of Sustainable Development’s Experimental Lakes Area (IISD-ELA), in Saskatchewan, the Saskatchewan Research Council […]

Thickness and surface roughness are the two main veneer quality criteria affecting material recovery, plywood glue bond quality, and glue consumption. At present, on-line green veneer thickness and surface roughness are generally not measured, which causes difficulty in assessing overall veneer quality for a better control of log conditioning and veneer peeling process. In this […]

This study will determine the applied wind loading on the steel structure of the novel Electric Vehicle Automated Parking (EVAP). It will develop proper design guidelines for steel helical piles to support EVAP considering gravitational (self-weight of EVAP and cars) and environmental loads (i.e. wind, snow and earthquake). EVAP is the world’s first integrated parking […]
