The proposed project is dedicated to fast resistance and inductance extraction for multiconductor transmission lines. Since the complexity of power cable designs has grown significantly over the past decade, fast and accurate tools for electromagnetic characterization are required. The cable models presently used by Manitoba Hydro however are overly simplified compared to the ones available […]

Monitoring the quality of perishable food is critical for reducing the societal costs. A wireless intelligent gas sensor based on biomass/heavy oil-derived activated carbon will be prepared to monitoring the spoilage of food. Agricultural/forest biomass residual materials such as straw, sawmill waste, and logging residue, and cheap and abundant bitumen are feedstocks yielding high porous […]

Conversion des veilles et diagnostics manuels en une solution intelligente / traitement des données externes à l’organisation

Améliorations des processus interne et automatisation des taches dans l’acquisition de clients et la gestion de projet afin d’amener des gains d’efficacité dans les modelés opérationnels des processus et lors de prestation de service et de suivi de projet

Coastal temperate rainforests hold a high biodiversity of living organisms, including many fungal species. The diversity of fungi remain poorly described in forests of BC. In the proposed study, we will document these species and improve our understanding of ecosystem complexity by gathering essential baseline information on fungal communities. This will be useful for applied […]

Cette recherche vise à développer un outil prototype qui nous permettra de reconstruire les mémoires collectives des peuples indigènes et de comprendre leur approche vis-à-vis de la gestion des enjeux d’adaptation aux changements climatiques auxquels ils sont confrontés. La plupart des peuples indigènes cultivent la fidélité aux plus profondes mémoires qui à la fois relient […]

Digital Transformation of business, combined with globalization through outsourcing, has create an increasingly fast-paced, competitive environment for most businesses. Additionally, new disruptive technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain are just beginning to open new opportunities for the next wave of Digital Transformation. Agile concepts have accepted in information systems (IS) development for more than […]

The recent legalization of marijuana across the globe has sparked new interest in studying the health benefits of non-psychotropic cannabinoids. The majority of the studies have revolved around cannabidiol as it can readily be isolated in high quantities from hemp. Preliminary medicinal studies into CBD have revealed its promise as a treatment for anxiety, and […]

Connections for existing precast buildings built in the 1960s to 1970s in Alberta were not detailed for earthquake loads. These connections exclusively rely on the friction between the floor (double tees) and the corbel in resisting lateral movement. The original design considered possible lateral movement due to thermal effects and shrinkage but did not consider […]

Data anonymization focuses on removing any personal or other information that would identify an individual or a set of persons from a given collection of records. In addition, anonymization should also mask information that could potentially be combined with other publicly available data to re-identify the individuals. This project aims to study data anonymization for […]

The research project undertaken by the intern is to investigate the relationship between inflammation and temperature, use that knowledge to define thermal metrics and develop a standard operating procedure for 3D thermal body imaging. During the project the intern will build a phantom to evaluate and optimize the performance of a commercially available 3D thermal […]

La gestion des horaires du personnel est cruciale pour l’industrie de la vente au détail. Ce secteur, hautement concurrentiel et dont les marges bénéficiaires sont faibles, est extrêmement sensible à la maitrise des coûts. Une gestion efficace des forces de travail à disposition, pouvant générer des bénéfices tangibles, fait appel à une planification efficace des […]
