Utilisation des outils de simulation énergétique des bâtiments par un bureau de génie conseil dans un processus de conception intégrée

Les pratiques courantes de simulation énergétique des bâtiments servant entre autres à obtenir les certifications vertes (LEED, BREEAM, etc.) ne facilitent pas la collaboration entre ingénieurs mécaniques et architectes ; ceci peut mener à des opportunités manquées de réduction de coût et d’efficacité énergétique. Le projet de recherche permettra de comparer de nouveaux outils ciblant les architectes et les ingénieurs aux outils utilisés par l’organisme partenaire afin de déterminer leur pertinence dans le cadre de projets de conception intégrée. Si ces nouveaux outils s’avèrent robustes et fiables, la compagnie hôte pourra les incorporer dans sa pratique et augmenter sa compétitivité en termes de qualité, de rapidité et de productivité et ainsi offrir un meilleur service-conseil à ses clients.

Magneto-Rheological Shimmy Damper

During taxiing, takeoff or landing, parts of the landing gear of a commercial plane can undesirably oscillate. This is often the cause of premature wear of certain components. To reduce the impact of this phenomenon, the landing gear designers integrate mechanical elements whose function is to dissipate the kinetic energy associated with these undesirable oscillations.
The objective of this project is to design an actuator using magneto-rheological fluid to replace these mechanical elements of the landing gear. The evaluation criteria for this design will be the complexity of the new architecture of the entire system, mass and performance of landing gear.

Fish bioacoustics: characterization of fish sounds and effect of noise on fish

Fish produce sounds underwater to communicate with each other. Underwater microphones (called hydrophones) can be deployed in the ocean to record these sounds and help scientists study where the fish are without disturbing them. Unfortunately, few studies have been done on fish sounds and a lot of sounds fish produce have not been identified yet. The proposed research project aims at describing what sounds various species of fish produce by deploying hydrophones and video cameras in the ocean. This study will also investigate if the noise in the ocean from vessels can change the vocal behavior of fish. This project will be carried out in partnership with the Canadian consulting company JASCO Applied Sciences. Outcomes for this research will be used by JASCO to monitor fish in their environmental studies and will allow them to strengthen their position as international leaders in this industry.

Limb sparing in dogs using patient-specific endoprostheses and cutting guides: design, manufacture and validation

Osteosarcoma at the wrist joint is the most common type of bone cancer in dogs. Each year over 10 000 dogs are affected. To date, several surgical techniques exist to treat patients suffering from this disease. Unfortunately, complication rates subsequent to surgery remain elevated.
We propose a workflow that allows the portion of the wrist affected by the tumor to be replaced with a 3D printed personalized limb. We anticipate that this treatment could (i) reduce the complications that are often observed with existing techniques and (ii) shorten the time span between the diagnosis and surgery.
To commercialize the proposed technology we anticipate the creation of a start-up company that would receive medical images of the limbs, design and 3D print the patient specific implant and ship it to the veterinary hospital. This project will be realized in close collaboration with our partner organization, Aligo innovation.

Optimization and validation of carbon nanofiber catalyst supports in fuel cell stack

Motivated by the urgent need for clean and sustainable source of energy we propose to develop structurally and chemically controllable fuel cell catalyst layers based on ultrafine nanocomposite carbon fibre catalyst support. Manufacturing parameters will be controlled and optimized to investigate the effect of microstructure on key performance factors. Ultimately, the knowledge gained from this study will pave the way to building more efficient fuel cells. Current phase of the project involves validating our design by in-situ testing. This will allow us to draw conclusions about the current design and evaluate the challenges for future scale-up production.

Comparative Analysis of Milking Systems in Nova Scotia to improve efficiency and sustainability of water resource

This project will provide a detailed evaluation of the energy, water and labour requirements of the four different types of milking systems used in Nova Scotia. Nova Scotia currently has 36 robotic milking systems installed with more expected in the near future. It is generally considered that robotic systems use more water than free stall systems, however tie stall systems use less than free stall. If the industry is moving to high water use systems then such evaluations are important to ensure a sustainable and responsible approach to water use if achieved.

An initial evaluation of the working memory impacts of a cognitive training program for children with learning disabilities

Learning disabilities (LD) are a significant area of identified disability for children in North America and worldwide. We currently understand cognitive processing weaknesses to contribute to the developmental difficulties that children with LD face in learning and beyond. One of these areas of cognitive weakness, working memory, is an important target for intervention because it not only impacts learning but other important aspects of life. This project examines the working memory effects of a cognitive training program for children with LD, the Eaton Arrowsmith school. We will use behavioral and neuroimaging techniques to examine working memory changes in treatment and control groups. This project will provide the Eaton Arrowsmith school with valuable knowledge about the effects of their program and will help researchers in this field better understand how we should continue to intervene with children with LD to encourage their academic and lifelong success.

Evaluation and design of a novel CO2 methanation reactor integrated into a Biogas upgrading facility

Wind energy is the fastest growing source of electricity in Canada. However, its supply is not aligned with the energy demand, thus energy storage becomes important. The Power to Gas process (P2G) is a promising technology in which electrical energy is converted into chemical energy (methane). Methane can be stored in already existing natural gas distribution infrastructure. Within the P2G process, excess electricity is converted to hydrogen via water electrolysis and subsequently converted with CO2 (biogas upgrading) to methane. This project will evaluate, design and build novel reactors (prototype and pilot-plant) for small scale that can be integrated into current biogas upgrading facilities, which are manufactured by Xebec Adsorption Inc. By developing a reliable CO2 methanation stage, the first-of-its-kind Canadian P2G pilot plant can be built, which would place Xebec Inc. at the forefront of the industry.

Characterizing phytochemical content of bioactive coffee leaf materials for use in coffee tea leaf beverages

Wize Monkey is currently the only maker of Coffee Leaf Tea in the world; they work in partnership with coffee producers in Nicaragua to develop alternative coffee based products. One of these is coffee leaf; a novel idea of harvesting leafs at optimal times to be used as a tea-based beverage. The leaf is harvested, dried, processed and blended to produce novelty based coffee leaf teas. Their business provides a humanitarian component providing stable work for up to 40 farm workers through-out the year to supply their product. Lives of coffee growers in this region of the world is greatly influenced by the volatility and seasonality of the commodity; hence a factor underlying the poverty and hunger that exists for many of the coffee growers. Wize Monkey has created a vertical integrated supply chain where coffee leaves are harvested and processed on-site at the Nicaragua farm, then shipped directly to Vancouver, Canada where they are inspected, blended and packaged for export to many different global customers.

The Recess Project

Our goal is to continue to provide the solution to the problems that elementary schools are facing across Ontario. To re-define the existing culture of recess by providing healthy role models, options and equipment and advocating for spaces more conducive to play. Our research team is currently the only one in Canada dedicated to research on recess. Our exploratory research continues and we have now piloted and refined an on-line aggregate survey for students, educators and administrators that measures indicators such as activity levels, feelings of engagement, inclusion, supervision challenges, needs and suggestions. We also continue to collect observational data. Our interns will assist with administration of surveys and data collection throughout the year at all partner schools within the District School Board of Niagara. The will also assist in program implementation and facilitation at a designated school.
