Geomechanica Inc. develops simulation software (Irazu) for rock engineering applications. This numerical software has been used in several peer-reviewed research publications in the rock mechanics field. A key challenge in the numerical modelling of rock masses is the selection of appropriate input parameters. The objective of this work is to develop a solution to streamline […]

La rémunération des dirigeants d’entreprise constitue un enjeu de gouvernance de premier plan. Ainsi, la plupart des conseils d’administration nord-américains sont dotés d’un comité de rémunération. L’ampleur des sommes en jeu ainsi que l’influence potentielle des incitatifs mis en place sur les décisions des dirigeants sous-tendent ces préoccupations. Toutefois, la rémunération des dirigeants est également […]

Traditionally, the forest management practice in the Dawson City area (YT) has been clear-cut management, in which all trees of a given area are harvested. As the local First Nation (the Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in Nation) seek to become more involved in the management of the local resources, the opportunity has arisen to transition to an alternative […]

The proposed project fits within a broad initiative in offshore oil and gas exploration geoscience mapping led by the Nova Scotia Department of Energy (NSDoE), the project’s End User. The province has partnered with Dr. Casey Hubert (University of Calgary) to develop, validate, and deploy three new genomics-based bioassay tools for offshore prospecting on the […]

The proposed project contributes to the development of a product for use in public spaces to provide LED lighting which is made interactive through sound responsiveness. This sound responsiveness is made possible through the use of modern micro-computers which can be programmed to use sounds in the environment to create different lighting effects. Unfortunately, this […]

The proposed internships will be aimed at developing advanced computer (software) and hardware platforms for simulation of modern power-electronic converter systems used in emerging electric power transmission systems. In particular, modular multi-level converter (MMC) simulations will be targeted. These converters are considered the primary candidates for dc systems used to integrate renewable energy sources into […]

Mobile games have been dominating the Canadian video game industry over the past few years. However, the growing number of game releases creates an increased necessity to focus on quality in order to stick out of the mass. While storytelling has proven to greatly increase user engagement in PC and console games, it is rarely […]

Le projet vise à créer un outil de recherche, de base de données et d’aide à la décision en matière de conformité dans les firmes d’ingénierie et chez les entrepreneurs de la construction. Il faut d’abord rechercher les articles et documents qui traitent le spectre de la conformité dans les firmes d’ingénierie et chez les […]

Manganese (Mn) affects the flavour and colour of water, and causes scaling in pipes, even at low concentrations. Groundwater is a crucial water resource in Saskatchewan and is often naturally rich in Mn. Strong demands for securing clean water have arisen in a variety of public and industrial sectors. The study’s objective is to accelerate […]

This project attempts to adapt current models for resilience into a reusable framework using accessible Canadian data sources that can guide repeated analysis to monitor and benchmark progress in an economic region. Quantitative analysis of regional resilience is needed to better inform strategy design, monitor performance trends and benchmarking resulting from investment and policy interventions […]

The slope angle for mine pit walls has a significant impact on both the economics and the amount of waste material generated during mining operations. Rational engineering design methods and their input parameters (i.e., rock mass strength) are critical to determination of efficient, but safe slope angles. Although there are well-establish rock engineering approaches to […]

Pressure ulcers are among the top five leading causes of re-hospitalization in patients with spinal cord injuries (SCI). Unfortunately, current conventional prevention and treatment methods have neither decreased the prevalence of these ulcers nor significantly improved their outcomes. To address this difficulty, here, we will test the efficacy of our new liquid skin substitute to […]
