Optimisation et déploiement d’un algorithme temps réel d’estimation du volume de bois sur abatteuse forestière

Ce projet vise à optimiser et déployer un algorithme innovant pour estimer en temps réel le volume de bois sur les abatteuses forestières. L’objectif est d’uniformiser et améliorer un algorithme existant afin qu’il fonctionne efficacement sur un ordinateur embarqué lors des opérations de coupe. Le travail se déroulera en trois grandes étapes : d’abord, l’uniformisation du code dans un langage adapté et sa jonction avec le système de l’abatteuse ; ensuite, l’amélioration des performances pour un fonctionnement en temps réel ; et enfin, des tests sur le terrain pour mesurer la précision obtenue en comparaison avec d’autres méthodes. Ce projet permettra d’obtenir des estimations précises et rapides du volume de bois récolté, ce qui représente un outil précieux pour optimiser les opérations forestières. L’utilisation de technologies avancées comme le LiDAR et le traitement d’images en temps réel ouvre la voie à une gestion plus efficace et durable des ressources forestières.

A proposed mobile application for automated, low cost kinematic analyses in sports for injury risk detection and movement optimization

This project is to hire an intern who will develop a volleyball coaching application that will use AI motion tracking and classification algorithms to optimize movement technique. The mobile application will be built to provide the expertise of volleyball and biomechanics to specifically address flaws with movement technique, offering analyses that will not only rate skill execution but they will also flag potentially injurious movements. With this application, athletes and coaches will have a personal technique coach at their fingertips whenever they need it.

Oil Dispersant System for Fixed Wing Aerial Platform

The proposed project is related to analysis and optimization of a system of potential interest to oil and gas industry in terms of oil-spill remediation. A fixed wing aircraft can be retrofitted with an oil dispersant system suitable for fast response in case of large oil-spills. This oil dispersant system is to satisfy certain requirements from the safety and efficiency perspectives. In other words, the forces developed on the dispersant system while deployed in flight are required to have minimal effect on the airframe of the aircraft. These developed forces are created by the airflow and inertia of the oil dispersant chemical inside the system. The study of the interaction between these forces and the elastic properties of the dispersant system is known as aeroelasticity. Utilizing the knowledge provided by aeroelasticity the airflow forces developed on the dispersant system can be decreased. Also the elastic properties of the system can be enhanced using composite materials. Therefore to eliminate possible damage of the aircraft, aeroelasticity and composite materials are to be used. This research provides the framework and methods of both aeroelastic analysis and composite materials considerations.

Failure Analysis of Structural Steels in Hydrogen-Rich Environments for Pipeline Applications

C-FER Technologies, specializing in advanced engineering solutions, primarily focuses on addressing industry challenges through rigorous testing and research in harsh operational environments. This project specifically engages C-FER’s expertise in high-pressure hydrogen testing and stress corrosion cracking (SCC) to tackle the pressing issue of hydrogen embrittlement in pipeline steels. By simulating extreme conditions, the partnership aims to develop more robust materials and methodologies that ensure safety and reliability in hydrogen transport infrastructures. The collaborative research is expected to yield substantial socio-economic benefits for C-FER. Enhancing their capabilities in hydrogen testing will not only solidify their status as a leader in the field but also expand their service offerings to include the latest innovations in hydrogen technology. Economically, this project will enable C-FER to attract new clients, particularly in emerging markets around hydrogen infrastructure, thereby generating new revenue streams. Socially, by contributing to safer and more efficient hydrogen transport solutions, C-FER will play a crucial role in supporting Canada’s transition to a low-carbon economy, aligning with national goals for sustainable energy development and reinforcing their commitment to environmental responsibility.

Customization extendability for elev8.dance

elev8.dance is a cloud based web application to run and organize dance competitions. Developed over 5 years in conjunction with a series of dance competitions in Saskatchewan the software is now used in dance competitions throughout North America. One of the main challenges elev8.dance faces as it scales is the wide variation and differences in how dance competitions are ran, particularly regarding registration & rules, pricing and adjudication criteria. elev8.dance aims to expand its framework to allow for custom developed modules to run within its framework to accommodate this wide variety of competition parameters.

Enhance nutrient management in spring wheat using enhanced efficiency fertilizers and biochar

This research project is investigating the management practices to improve nutrient management in spring wheat production using enhanced efficiency fertilizers and biochar in Nova Scotia. Extreme weather and high precipitation rates have caused leaching and nitrogen losses in soils that have severely impacted yields across the region. Nutrients from conventional fertilizers can be rapidly leached from soil systems; however, recent fertilizer technologies such as Enhanced Efficiency Nitrogen Fertilizers (EENF) and liquid dairy manure enriched biochar may prevent this leaching. These fertilizers will be used on various spring wheat varieties in comparison to conventional fertilizer in field, greenhouse, and germination experiments. Plant metrics such as crop growth, seed yield, and seed quality will be investigated in addition to soil health characteristics and residual soil fertility post-harvest. This research will shed light on how these fertilizers interact with the regions climactic and soil conditions, providing valuable data to producers who are looking to fertilize their crops in a more sustainable and accurate way.

How Teachers Understand Self-Regulation: Connecting the Canadian Self-Regulation Initiative with Pearson Canada Inc

The notion of ‘self-regulation’ in the development of children and young people and the health of adults has taken on considerable importance, especially in education, as the science investigating this feature has made significant advances over the last decade. One nationwide initiative, the Canadian Self-Regulation Initiative (CSRI), has been working since 2012 to support educators’ understanding about self-regulation and their ability to integrate these ideas into their practice. This research project will look more closely at the CSRI, to see how it has unfolded and to examine how participating teachers’ understanding about self-regulation is developing. As a result of this project, the corporate partner organization, Pearson Canada, will be in a better position to develop products and services in the area of self-regulation that are useful and relevant to teachers

The Mosquitoes of Calgary: From Morphological References to Molecular Barcodes

Mosquitoes are a widespread nuisance that can also be responsible for the transmission of deadly diseases to people and animals, but different species of mosquitoes are responsible for the transmission of different diseases, and many species vary greatly in how they behave and where they are found. Identifying which mosquito species are found in an area is important for understanding mosquito distribution changes and evaluating the risk they may pose to humans and other animals. However, the process of identifying mosquitoes is time consuming and difficult, and many municipalities in Canada have limited specialist expertise for mosquito identification. Moreover, knowing which species are typically present in an area is essentially to determining if distributions are changing, yet in Canada, many mosquito distributions are decades out of date. To help address these limitations for the city of Calgary, we will determine which species of mosquitoes are found in Calgary now, then construct a comprehensive catalogue of molecular barcode information. Finally, we will test new DNA sequencing technologies to evaluate if they might be feasible at the municipal level for identifying mosquito samples in bulk.
