The mining sector plays a huge role in the Saskatchewan economy, in addition to being the largest private sector employer of Aboriginal peoples in the province. It is important economically and socially for the mining workforce to be healthy and productive. Yet we know little about the impacts of physical and mental health on productivity, […]

The performance we require from our buildings is ever increasing. Heightened security needs, the push for increasingly efficient use of resources, improved comfort, flexibility of facility space, and changing threats from climate change or other environmental factors are some of the challenges facing designers and operators. There are a complex array of interrelated components that […]

This project aims to produce a proof-of-concept of a Diamond DA20 aircraft simulator to determine the feasibility of producing the simulator at a low cost while meeting Transport Canada requirements for a minimum of Level 5 Flight Training Device certification. Reducing cost without sacrificing fidelity of the flight simulator comes with many technical challenges which […]

Le Centre de recherche industrielle du Québec (CRIQ) offre des services de recherche d’information et de veille en impartition. Actuellement plusieurs outils de recherches sont utilisés pour accomplir ces mandats de recherche d’informations, mais la formulation des requêtes, la sélection des documents pertinents et l’extraction des informations utiles sont effectuées manuellement. Le stage proposé dans […]

Ce projet Mitacs Élévation porte sur le développement des matériaux composites à fibres naturelles (CFN) avec résine bio-sourcée. Notre partenaire, le Centre de Recherche Industriel du Québec (CRIQ), désire développer de nouveaux axes de recherche sur les nouveaux matériaux et/ou procédés. Ils ont déjà un axe orienté sur les matériaux architecturés issus de la fabrication […]

Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL) is a common form of leukemia that affects approximately 3 people per 100,000 individuals, and is the most common form of cancer in children and adolescents. Current therapies are effective in children, however, treatment success in infants, adolescents, and adults needs improvement. Indeed, there is a need for new chemotherapeutic drugs […]

Le projet consiste à étudier l’effet du type de pince de suspension sur la résistance en fatigue des conducteurs aériens de transport d’électricité. Cette étude sera composée d’une partie expérimentale, qui consiste à réaliser des essais de fatigue sur des assemblages pince/conducteur, et d’une partie numérique portante sur la modélisation par la méthode des éléments […]

Currently, the camera in your smartphone can take 2D color pictures. We have developed a new type of camera that can also provide you with depth at each point, not just color. Having depth and where objects are relative to each other in the scene open the door to many different new possibilities, for example […]

Ocean wave energy converters (WECs) are devices that utilize ocean energy to produce electricity or fresh water. A key stage in developing these devices is scale model testing in wave tanks, as it allows the power generation capabilities of a design to be evaluated at a much lower cost and with no environmental risk compared […]

Pulmonary arterial Hypertension (PAH) is a severe disease that affects both the pulmonary vasculature and the heart with no curative options. The apelinergic system which can be defined by the cell surface receptor APJ, mostly expressed in the heart and vessels, and its endogenous ligands Apelin and ELABELA appear as a promising therapeutic pathway in […]

The NSERC Strategic Network for Smart Applications on Virtual Infrastructures is a five-year partnership between Canadian industry, universities, researchers, research and education (R&E) networks, and high performance computing centres to investigate the design of future application platforms that will deliver software applications of greater capability and intelligence. These application platforms will be supported by an […]

This project will take existing waste material(s), blended with a stabilization agent and create a useful material that can be used as a cover material for a landfill. The waste materials will consist of residual material from municipal water or waste water treatment plants, pulp and paper plants combined with waste materials that are residual […]
