The development of autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is a growing area of interest. An important step in the creation of a fully autonomous flying vehicle is the ability to precisely and smoothly land on a target. The goal of this research is to develop a UAV landing system that is able to track and […]

Repeat photography is a valuable tool for evaluating long-term ecological change. Historical photographs used for repeat photography often predate conventional remote sensing data by decades, and the oblique perspective of the photographs capture details of the landscape absent in nadir imagery. To date, most approaches to quantifying landscape change using repeat photography have involved manual […]

ScalableHR needs assistance with the commencement of its new and confidential subsidiary that is scheduled for launch by September 2020. It requires recommendations on its marketing, pricing, resourcing and strategic business plan as it will be an industry-changing business that will cause disruption to how competitors operate.

COVID-19 has significantly impacted our business and we have taken the following steps to mitigate this impact: applied to and received funding from the government’s CEWC (Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy) program; decreased full-time, permanent headcount; eliminated non-essential expenses, and; prioritized planned new hires, rescinded offers, and delayed start dates. Interns are important to the future […]

Dans les pays en voie de développement, le budget national repose sur des projets financés par des bailleurs de fonds internationaux. Une saine gestion de projets est donc une condition essentielle au succès des stratégies de développement national. Actuellement, la gestion de projets se fait en silo, malgré l’existence de la déclaration de Paris : […]

In order to assess the current state of competition in the Canadian mobile telecommunications industry, we propose different models to estimate and to predict the evolution of plans offered by wireless service providers in Quebec and in Ontario. The models are estimated using data collected by Planhub which frequently updates and compares the prices and […]

Rural Municipality of St. François Xavier developed a strategy to lower total phosphorus level below legal water discharge limits when over-limit phosphorus values are measured at the discharge pipe of the lagoon. This strategy consists of a trickled discharge of lagoon treated water and a swale system. Swales are widely applied to manage surface runoffs […]

The intern will enhance the functionality of a hand-held gamma spectrometer produced by Environmental Instrument Canada (EIC). In order to improve the performance of the spectrometer, the control board will be switched to a higher spec microcontroller, and the firmware source code will be re-written from interpreted Javascript to C code. New functionality, including energy […]

Algae-C is a company specialized in algal biomass production. It enables on-site production of algae for a wide variety of sectors (aquaculture, nutraceutical, cosmetic and biofuel). To date, many fuels, pharmaceuticals and cosmetic products are extracted from plants. These valuable plant natural products (PNPs) are often produced in low quantities in plants and extraction methods […]

Modeling and simulation of realistic motion is one of the important topics in mechanical engineering and related areas. Such simulations become much more challenging when rigid body dynamics with frictional contacts appears. The total number of contact points is very important and is a key element to determine the difficulty level of the simulation, meaning […]

This work will develop a high voltage power supply that is lower cost than currently available systems and has the unique feature of being electrically isolated from the input, meaning that multiple supplies can be stacked to increase the output voltage. This work will be used for fusion research but may find many uses in […]

Les technologies à semi-conducteurs de puissance évoluent rapidement. Ces technologies se retrouvent dans différentes applications telles l’aéronautique et le transport terrestre. Elles permettent d’obtenir des rendements élevés et permettent de minimiser le poids des divers composants des convertisseurs d’énergie. Toutefois, afin d’optimiser les bénéfices apportés par ces nouvelles technologies, il est important de bien comprendre […]
