The current feedstock of en-life high impact polystyrene (HIPS) is currently impossible to be valorized and recyled due the presence of brominated fire retardants (FRs). The presence of those FRs is consequence of the need from the electronic industry to compile with the security regulations. However, now those brominated compounds are to be banned due […]

Dans le contexte actuel des changements globaux, l’aménagement de nos forêts représente un défi majeur. Face a? cette réalité, nos pratiques visant a? contrôler et prédire l’évolution de nos forêts ne sont plus assez efficaces et nous devons revoir notre façon de les gérer. L’augmentation de la diversité de caractères indicateurs (traits fonctionnels) pour l’aménagement […]

Du fait des changements environnementaux en cours, il est nécessaire de faire évoluer les pratiques agricoles pour qu’elles soient plus respectueuses de l’environnement. Pour avoir une agriculture plus durable et tout autant productive, il est essentiel d’accompagner les agriculteurs dans cette transition, notamment en développant de nouveaux outils. Le but de ce projet est de […]

This project will integrate normal temperature battery (NTB) that is cheap but only can discharge above-20?, and low temperature battery (LTB) that is expensive but can work at -40? into an insulated housing with a smart hybrid battery management system. And a heat pipe with design trigger temperature will be integrated to the housing to […]

With the development of tunnel construction techniques, precast segmental tunnel linings (PCTLs) have begun to play a crucial role in preserving ground surfaces and solving traffic problems in metropolitan areas. In parallel with growing interest in PCTLs, engineers are in the search of solutions that improve precast production efficiency and obtain higher structural performance. The […]

Il existe actuellement très peu de données sur le dauphin de Peale qui permettent aux autorités gouvernementales de prendre des décisions éclairées en termes de conservation. Le projet de recherche tente de développer un répertoire photographique du dauphin de Peale que l’on retrouve au sud du Chili, en Patagonie. Le but est d’identifier les individus […]

In general, when a more viscous fluid is displaced by a less viscous one, instabilities grow at the interface between them which are referred to as viscous fingering. Viscous fingering is of paramount importance in many applications including, but not limited to, contamination transport in underground waters, enhanced oil recovery, filtration, and chromatographic separation of […]

Bioprocesses are indispensable for the sustainable production of high value chemical compounds from renewable feedstock. In many processes, genetically engineered strains with a modified metabolism are used. Boosting the performance of such a production host can be essential to make a bioprocess profitable. Computational strain design provides methods to identify interventions in the microbial metabolism […]

Canada and the EU are traditional allies in promoting the UN’s sustainable development goals (SDGs). As many scholars note, the WTO is an indispensable forum for realizing these laudable goals, for instance, the goal 13 fighting against climate change, for the WTO is nearly the only international organisation that has ability to enforce the implementation […]

Asian multinational corporations (MNCs) have been a primary driver of the world region’s economic rise. Their emergence brings fresh air and new challenges to the global economic order. Key to their success is a distinct form of business culture and organizational strategy, which the existing scholarship has yet to address. This project aims to develop […]

The overall objective for this project is to support the research of one master’s student who will help advance the research related to the social discourse of sustainable transportation and climate policy in Canada. In this field, START, in the School of Resource and Environmental Management at SFU, is one of the leading research teams […]
