Ce projet permettra de gérer la forte demande énergétique sur le réseau électrique grâce à l’utilisation de technologies de stockage énergétique dont les accumulateurs thermiques et le stockage à air comprimé. De façon plus spécifique, le projet a pour objectif de développer un outil de design pour l’implantation efficiente des accumulateurs thermiques et de tracer […]

In our project, we plan to improve the interfacial properties between metallic Li anodes and garnet-based Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZ) electrolyte. The approach is to use coating techniques such as chemical and physical vapor deposition (CVD/PVD), and atomic layer deposition (ALD) to deposit a thin protection layer on a dense LLZ separator which is co-sintered with a […]

The Apricot Seed Wasp Eurytoma samsonowi Vasiljev (1915) (Hymenoptera: Eurytomidae) is a phytophagous parasitic wasp species associated with stone fruits, detected first in the oases of Gafsa southwest of Tunisia. It causes high infestation on apricot to reach up to 76% as yield loss rate. Among control methods, mass trapping with sex pheromones is considered […]

Une transition vers une consommation de l’énergie électrique plus sobre, efficace, flexible ou raisonnée doit notamment être pensée dans la réalité de jeunes parents manquant de temps, stressés, endettés par un premier achat immobilier. Leurs trajectoires et leurs aspirations d’établissement, ainsi que leurs manières de se déplacer, d’habiter et de s’approprier des lieux dispersés, expliquent […]

Winnipeg’s inner city is home to low-income Indigenous, Black and people of colour communities that have long struggled with homelessness, poverty and the ongoing impacts of colonialism (CCPA-MB and CCEDNet, 2015; Silver, 2016). These challenges are now compounded by high COVID-19 rates and COVID-19-related barriers to accessing basic needs (CCPA-MB, 2020). Community-based organizations in the […]

Through the outlined objectives and methodologies, this project aims at evaluating the performance of the solvent assisted bitumen recovery techniques under various operation scenarios and in presence of reservoir heterogeneities. The objectives are fulfilled through advance numerical reservoir simulation studies, detailed review of the present technologies, and analyzing the laboratory/field production results. Ms. Fazlyeva will […]

Elevated levels of stress hormones (i.e. cortisol) provide a potential mechanism by which substrate condition affects larval development and survival in the endangered white sturgeon. The possibility that stress hormones mediate larval response to substrate conditions will be investigated by artificially elevating cortisol levels and identifying effects on larval physiology. Cortisol levels of wild caught […]

Cropland soils are important sources of nitrous oxide (N2O), which is one of greenhouse gases. In soils, N2O is produced through nitrification and denitrification processes. Therefore, it may be possible to reduce N2O production by using biochar and nitrification inhibitors (NI). Biochar is known to decrease N2O production through biological and physico-chemical interaction with soil […]

The Crustaceans industry is a major part of Canadian seafood production, however, it results in the generation of significant amount of crustacean wastes. The disposal of the wastes is often costly and challenging. The exoskeleton of the crustacean waste contains chitin, which can be converted into value-added products. Our lab had developed an innovative, green […]

The Arctic climate is changing three times faster than any other eco-region in the world. As the climate warms, flowering times of many species are shifting which can affect plant productivity and reproductive success. Flowering time responses to climate change among species is diverse. The diversity of responses has implications for tundra plant community structure […]

This research project will investigate how an automated plastic recycling system will function in three academic institutions. The goal is to re-imagine and rework the traditional recycling supply chain by decentralizing and vertically integrating plastic recycling. This will be accomplished through an extensive literature review and experiments that will allow the three academic institutions to […]

I will be working as an intern with Vynx Design Inc. generating temperature forecasts that will aid decision making for salmon fisheries managers. My research will focus on improving the accuracy and effectiveness of short-term temperature forecasts as well as enhancing the understanding of the relationship between river conditions and mortality. I will use both […]
