Many regions, both in the eastern and western provinces of Canada, are prone to moderate to high seismic hazards. The seismic hazards, coupled with older, vulnerable infrastructures, pose the potential for damage and loss of life. The economic impact of seismic induced damage, on the Lower Mainland of British Columbia alone, has been estimated […]

Create an automated “on line” decision tree for crop conditioning that allows predict and control the behavior of key indicators during the grain storage by Identifying the main factors that are related to the drying and storage of grain as well as the relations between those factors.

  Soil washing (SESW) is a remediation process which utilizes surfactants in treating soils and sludges which are contained with one or more contaminants. This process, however, has not been employed on soils that are contaminated with Bunker C; a fuel derivative which is very common contaminant in many industrial areas and seaports due to […]

Presently, wind farms in Canada have a capacity of 4,588MW while Newfoundland and Labrador have a capacity of 54MW. Canada’s wind resource is immense and well distributed in rural areas throughout the country and more wind farms are under construction. Utilities need information about wind farm output power few hours in advance so that they […]

  Nichols Applied Engineering Inc. has been contracted to design and conduct a survey on Alberta BIM implantation, as well as to do the analysis. The proposed survey will result in establishing the outlined baseline data assessing industry attitudes, motivations for BIM adoption (What’s working), understanding key issues, barriers and level of participation as a […]

  A significant step towards sustainable mining would be non-traditional, but productive uses for the mine. In particular, uses that would allow them to provide value and jobs to the community both during mining and after operations cease. To help in achieving this goal there is potential positive use of both closed and operational mines to provide renew […]

  This project will provide Bristol Machine a flexible 3D parametric design of the LHD bucket at a high quality. It will help the company to design the products more efficiently and quickly in response to customers’ specific needs. The LHD bucket will increase productivity by proper selection of wear materials. Also, the FEA analysis will improve and optimize […]

The goal of the proposed research project is to use bias corrected climate model output to drive a hydrological model of the Churchill River Basin in Labrador. This represents a major milestone in an existing research collaboration between Memorial University and Nalcor Energy, the primary objective of which is to determine the effects of climate […]

With dramatic improvements in vessel performance and tactical systems of high speed crafts in recent years, naval, coast guard and law enforcement agencies increasingly task them to complete a growing range of operational objectives. The combination of faster vessels, more sophisticated systems and extended responsibilities has driven fleet operators to re-examine how their boat crews […]

  The emerging high dynamic range (HDR) displays provide a much larger range of luminances compared to conventional low dynamic range (LDR) displays, thereby improving the visual impression of the displayed images or videos. With the advent of HDR displays, a number of key questions have been raised regarding the design of modern HDR displays. […]

  This proposal is for the development and optimization of light emitting diodes (LEDs) for plant growth. The development of LEDs over the complete range (and beyond) of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR: 400 – 700nm) now allows focused research into the effect of wavelength on specific plant responses. The LEDs produce light in a narrow […]

The project is focusing on developing a silica breccia product having a superior reactivity that allows this product to be used widely as an alternative supplementary cementing material in cement mixtures. The new developed silica breccia product will be tested for effectiveness as a supplementary cementing material based on the Canadian Standard Association (CSA) test […]
