Le domaine des accords de libre-échange subit des chocs majeurs depuis quelques mois. Alors qu’on arrivait à peine à comprendre les implications juridiques du nouveau phénomène de prolifération des accords de libre-échanges et de redéfinition de ceux-ci, la donne change à nouveau. Par exemple, en juin 2016, les Britanniques se sont exprimés en faveur d’une […]

As one of the most cost-competitive forms of renewable energy, the wind has remarkable potential for fulfilling the increasing demand for global energy in an environmentally responsible way. Wind turbines in cold climate are becoming one of the most popular trends for wind energy developments. Because of highly variable operational conditions, wind turbines demand a […]

It is known that steel structures exhibit enhanced strength when they experience dynamic loads (e.g. collisions) versus static loads (e.g. bearing loads). A model for this enhanced strength was created by Cowper and Symonds in 1957, however it is currently only applicable to room temperatures. It is the aim of this project to extend the […]

La qualité de l’eau potable n’est pas uniforme dans un réseau de distribution, ce qui est du à la diversité de l’infrastructure (matériaux, diamètres des conduites) et des éléments ponctuels de gestion (postes de traitement, réservoirs, etc.). Cette variabilité est également impactée par des événements (bris de conduite, nettoyage, feu, etc.), qui, d’un côté, peuvent […]

Exonetik est une compagnie en démarrage qui développe une nouvelle technologie d’orthèse active qui permettra, entre autres choses, la réduction du coût métabolique lors de la marche. Cette nouvelle technologie sera bientôt testée sur des sujets humains, mais requiert encore du développement. En collaboration avec les ingénieur d’Exonetik, le stagiaire participera au développement de la […]

Barriers to connectivity are often associated with roads, culverts, and even beaver dams. An M.Sc. student with the CRI at UNB working in collaboration with the Restigouche River Watershed Management Council will develop a watershed-scale connectivity analysis using a GIS model to best inform the management of connectivity to reproductive habitats for Atlantic salmon in […]

Corporations are under a lot of scrutiny, especially when they annually release their financial reports to the government. If a corporation makes a mistake, or if an employee submits fraudulent information, or if it appears that either is the case, then they risk being asked to amend the filing by the government, which will cause […]

The Canadian bison industry is currently facing the issue of increasing production to meet increasing demand for bison products in a sustainable manner that improves the competitiveness and profitability of the industry. Bison retailers are currently being shorted product orders in excess of 25% on a regular basis, and demand for bison meat will only […]

The project is to understand the potential impact of enabling the offline functionalities on progressive web application utilized as e-commerce platforms. For instance, will enabling offline functionalities help increase revenue by providing a more engaging environment when the connection is poor? Traditional evaluation method is to run online controlled experiments by randomly assigning users into […]

The proposed research project targets anomaly detection of event data. The project has a duration of four months and aims to achieve two objectives: (1) to evaluate the effectiveness of a novel approach on GAN for real-world data, and (2) compare it to alternative methods. The intern will use existing research resources, and will apply […]

The proposed research project targets computational performance improvements of an data analysis pipeline. The project has a duration of four months and aims to achieve two objectives: (1) to properly characterize the performance of individual stages of the existing data analysis pipeline in terms of execution time, memory, and I/O, and (2) to improve the […]

Exploration and production of oil and gas in deepwater increases the demand for offshore research not only in Canada but also in other parts of the world. In deepwater, large floating platfonns are attached to the seafloor by steel catenary type risers. The risers are generally highly stressed near the touchdown point at the seabed. […]
