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decreased full-time, permanent headcount; eliminated non-essential expenses, and; prioritized planned new hires, rescinded offers, and delayed start dates.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 […]

While buying a property, a professional home inspection is one of the single-most important “checks” the buyer should conduct to make sure that the home is safe and secure to live in. In order to enhance public safety and confidence, the home inspector should possess sufficient knowledge, skill and ability to perform the inspection competently. […]

Wastewater treatment lagoons are practical and cost-effective systems for smaller towns across Canada to prevent wastewater seepage into the environment. Essentially all structures over permafrost that disrupt the natural winter temperatures contacting the ground surface initiates permafrost thawing over the long-term and this includes lagoons.KGS Group has been developing the concept of using conventional closed-loop […]

The project will conduct applied research on how to modernize medical practice software to a “cloud-based” service paradigm. Cloud-based software delivery uses a secure part of the Internet to deliver services. It has many advantages over the traditional model of installing and maintaining software products on local computer workstations. For example, the cost of ownership, […]
