Crushing and grinding rock is the largest consumer of energy at a mining operation. Breaking rock by expansion within is a lower energy process than crushing or impact from outside, since rock tensile strength is significantly lower than rock compressive strength. This research intends to explore and develop a novel method for rock comminution using […]

The telecommunication industry is rapidly evolving towards providing faster services to accommodate the global surge in network demand. The next-generation (5G) network aims to increase the current network speed by more than twentyfold. This transition brings enormous benefits for the economy and society. A main challenge faced by network providers, however, is that the existing […]

Able Innovations is creating novel technology that eliminates the need for human involvement in transfers of individuals with restricted mobility replacing existing sling transfers systems that require significant physical labour by clinical staff that frequently results in staff injury and missed work. Sling systems are also undignified for the patient and can injure the patient […]

Le projet présenté ici vise le développement d’une technique de caractérisation lithologique automatisée adaptée pour les carottes de forage en exploration minière. La technique sera basée sur divers capteurs (optiques, chimiques et autres) ainsi que la microscopie optique. Les données obtenues (big-data) serviront à l’optimisation des procédés de traitement des minerais ainsi que la bonne […]

Quantum computers are new technologies that harness the power of quantum mechanics to store and manipulate information. Recent years have seen accelerated progress on their development, and while their potential benefits are significant, we must now prepare the cryptographic infrastructure underlying cybersecurity to ensure the continued safety of our data in the face on an […]

Rain gardens are shallow planted depressions in the ground that infiltrate, and evaporate urban rainwater. They are a kind of green infrastructure that provide an alternative to putting polluted urban runoff into the storm sewer system. The researchers will build and test new designs and installation methods for rain gardens. The new designs will incorporate […]

The main goal of the proposed work is to develop an ultra-thin and selective GO membrane capable of separating water vapor or steam from air. For this purpose, a suitable membrane supports required to hold the GO sheets. Therefore, the GO sheets will be deposited on various membrane supports and their performance in terms of […]

Prescribers rely on guidelines for appropriate use and prescribing of opioids. Currently, there are no risk prediction calculators available to quantify the risk of prescribing an opioid that uses a patient’s history and drug utilization pattern. Machine learning algorithms offer an opportunity to perhaps develop such a risk calculator as a result of the large […]

Indoor environmental quality in schools is one of the major issues that should be considered. Indoor air quality (freshness and cleanness of air inside the building) and thermal comfort (the comfortable condition when no one is feeling either too hot or too cold) in schools can have significant impact on children’s health, learning and productivity. […]

Down hole tools in the oil and gas (O&G) industry has long been used to increase the oil recovery and limit unwanted products like water, sand and steam. RGL is a world leader on both Sand control and Flow control products, with a focus on technology driven solutions. Various sand screens, slotted liner designs, flow […]

Artificial intelligence (AI) provides powerful tools to many acoustic related applications. This proposal aims at acoustic signal processing and analysis and its applications using AI technologies. In order for AI to make progress in understanding the acoustic world around us, it needs to be interpreted along with multimodal messages. Three subprojects, i.e., multi-modal acoustic scene […]

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a progressive condition characterized by the chronic elevation of pulmonary artery (PA) pressure leading to failure of the heart. In spite of recent advances in approved therapies, PAH remains a serious disease with significant mortality. In contrast to the earlier belief that contraction of pulmonary vessels played a key role […]
