Les empilements de rejets miniers solides et de sol excavé doivent être végétalisés à la fin de la vie de la mine. La technique d’hydrosemis, qui consiste à pulvériser un mélange de graines et de fertilisant dans de l’eau, est souvent utilisée pour végétaliser les zones en pente. L’entreprise de végétalisation Irrigation NORCO veut optimiser […]

Services provided by CES move the traditional paradigm away from static paper maps and data management. Instead, they offer MapAki to create and deliver unique interactive web maps. This research project will attempt to associate multi-layered artificial intelligence empowered services to redesign and rebrand MapAki. Firstly, this project will use up-to-date visuals collected from the […]

The objective of this project is to create a prototype of a portable External Universal Digital control device using existing technology from EmersonGrow EGX7, the first fully digital LED Grow light. This smart device enables users to control any compatible grow light digitally, including colour, intensity, create stages and light recipe, users can also upload, […]

À l’échelle mondiale, la génération de plus en plus importante des matières résiduelles organiques, d’origine aussi bien industrielle que domestique, accentue le problème d’élimination. Dans ce contexte, un grand intérêt est dédié à la création des pistes de valorisation pour ces résidus. Dans le but de réduire la quantité de déchets récupérés, l’économie circulaire constitue […]

LifeLike BioTissue has developed a suite of products to assist in the training of medical professionals with highly realistic models that mimic the mechanical properties, feel and anatomy of human body organs and structures. These human tissue phantoms replicate a variety of complex human tissues, supporting surgeons and medical device companies for surgical training and […]

In this collaborative project between L. Goncharova’s group (Western) and Sciencetech (London, ON), silicon, germanium, and tin heterostructure will be grown by thin-film deposition techniques. By precisely controlling the amount of each element in the films, these heterostructures can overcome the poor light adsorption and emission properties of silicon, and will be explored for light […]

Sensor Based Sorting is a relatively new technology for the mining industry. The ability to use sensor to classify particles or bulk materials ahead of expensive downstream grinding and separation has many benefits including reduced energy and water usage, reduced operating costs and improved metal recoveries. Testing to assess sorting for a mineral deposit is […]

Les infrastructures vertes sont de plus en plus utilisées en milieu urbain pour gérer les eaux pluviales à la source, c’est-à-dire avant qu’elles ne rejoignent le réseau souterrain de conduites. Or, de nombreuses questions subsistent en ce qui concerne les bénéfices procurés par les infrastructures vertes de gestion des eaux pluviales par rapport à leurs […]

While most people gamble for fun, some people suffer harms from their gambling. To prevent people from experiencing gambling-related harm, the gambling industry has put in place responsible gambling programs and tools to help people gamble within their means. However, even with the different responsible gambling tools and information available to players, the use of […]

La propagation des espèces exotiques envahissantes représente l’une des plus grandes menaces pour la biodiversité et le maintien des écosystèmes. Au Canada, près de 500 espèces végétales introduites sont considérées comme envahissantes, elles engendrent chaque année des dépenses importantes ainsi que de nombreux effets indirects, mais néfastes causés par la perte de services écosystémiques. Les […]

The project would be a scalable app designed to treat insomnia effectively. This will include educational videos and materials to enable patients to do self-treatment. This should be much more time and cost efficient than traditional treatment, much more easily accessible, and scalable. TranqSleep hopes that the digital platform will be easy and intuitive to […]

When grapevines are exposed to forest fire smoke they often trap the compounds responsible for the odour of smoke within the ripening berries. Through poorly understood processes, grapes may transform these compounds into forms that are not readily detected by smell or current testing procedures. The yeasts used for fermentation may break down these storage […]
