Modern electric power systems are rapidly adopting renewable energy resources. This positive movement, however, does bring with it major challenges to the way we operate power systems. In particular we may face drastic frequency changes and far-reaching transient phenomena. One way to remedy these is to deploy energy storage systems, such a s batteries, to […]

The purpose of this project if to develop a Canadian Cow-Calf Cost of Production (COP) Network including of 26 different focus group sessions across Canada, located in different eco-regions, to gather production and economic data following agribenchmark global agriculture network methodology. This data will also be used to assess greenhouse gas emissions associated with the […]

The purpose of analyzing the different stages of sleep by means of functional connectivity metrics is due to the overwhelming unlikelihood of seizures occurring during REM sleep. The functional connectivity metrics are computational algorithms run on a computer that determine if the signal from one node is similar to another in any way. These nodes […]

Poor indoor air quality in First Nation’s homes is a major issue. Toxic particles such as mould, particulate matter from smoke due to tobacco or woodstoves use, radon progeny, and airborne viruses such as COVID-19, pose serious health hazards. An evidence-based research program is proposed to develop and evaluate through laboratory testing and field application […]

Currently, the design method of haul road pavements cannot address the rolling resistance under the effects of stabilizers in pavement design. To address this, the overall objective of this research is to develop a new design approach using finite element modeling for mine haul road pavements with stabilized layers. In particular, the prediction of rolling […]

Canola growers recognize that the beneficial arthropods that live in natural habitats and non-crop areas may play an important role in augmenting and stabilizing crop yields. These bees, flies, beetles, spiders and other arthropods may spill over into the crop, and through pollination or pest control, help to improve yields, decrease inputs, and increase profitability. […]

The North American Waterfowl Management Plan (NAWMP) is an international partnership to conserve abundant and resilient waterfowl populations and sustainable landscapes. Through their work with the four Canadian NAWMP Joint Ventures, Ducks Unlimited Canada collaborate on waterfowl and habitat management issues, including social issues that are relevant to wetland and waterfowl conservation. This project will […]

In this project, an advanced coupled geomechanical Finite Element (FE) numerical code will be developed to address the limitations of existing modeling tools in investigating the performance of infrastructure affected by frost action. For this purpose, a novel geomechanical constitutive model will be developed in the framework of the critical-state model for rate-dependent deformations of […]

This project will ‘bring to market’ a new and innovative fishery by-product business in Grand Rapids/Misipawistik Cree Nation. This business is significant for Grand Rapids/Misipawistik Cree Nation as it will enhance the viability of fisheries in this community, enhance food security for those enjoying healthy and affordable fish products and stimulate economic development in northern […]

This project aims to create protocol for custom-made dental implant manufacturing. Dental implant will be 3D printed based on patient scans. The project will connect newest laser manufacturing technology with existing implantation procedure research. In addition, the dental implant structure creation protocol will be suitable for implementation in additive manufacturing facilities. Project results will be […]

The Arctic Research Foundation (ARF) is a private, non-profit organization creating a scientific infrastructure for the Canadian Arctic. Over the years, it has generated and collected a huge volume of big data. These valuable big data need to be managed. In response, we design an effective database to (a) integrate these big data (which may […]

Perennial grains, especially domesticated intermediate wheatgrass (IWG), are approaching commercialization as food crops. Due to the perennial nature of this crop i.e. multiple seed harvest (years) off of a single planting, grazing of post-harvest regrowth in the late fall would provide added value to beef producers, helping to sustain Canada’s beef industry. This project aims […]
