Au Québec, de nombreux cours d’eau subissent des modifications inhabituelles de leurs niveaux d’eau à cause des changements climatiques, ce qui engendre de nombreux problèmes pour leur utilisation par les riverains (érosion des berges, dégâts aux embarcations de plaisance…) mais également aux responsables de la gestion des barrages....

Knowledge graphs store facts using relations between pairs of entities. In this work, we address the question of link prediction in knowledge graphs. Our general approach broadly follows neighborhood aggregation schemes such as that of Graph Convolutional Networks (GCN), which in turn was motivated by spectral graph convolutions. Our proposed...

Quality of drinking water is important to our health and well-being. Water quality monitoring outside the laboratory aims to obtain qualitative information on the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of a water body. The traditional method of taking samples periodically is not only a cost intensive process, but one that...

Transmission pipelines are the most popular and widely used medium to transport hydrocarbons (e.g., oil and gas) over long distances. Pipelines might pass through various geological and topographic conditions and therefore, pipeline routing is a critical component for successful design and regulatory approval. Due to the environmental and safety concerns...

Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD), two main phytocannabinoids from cannabis, have demonstrated biological effects and potential therapeutic uses. However, their functionality when consumed orally could be limited due to poor water solubility and low utilization rate in human body. To make the cannabinoids more soluble, liquid formulations are being developed...

Les procédés électromembranaires sont des technologies vertes de séparation par membranes utilisées dans les industries bioalimentaires pour purifier des molécules d’intérêt. Parmi ces procédés, l’utilisation de l’électrodialyse avec membrane de filtration (ÉDMF) a permis de démontrer, tout récemment, que la séparation d’hydrolysats de harengs permettait la modulation d’activités biologiques....

In the last decade optimization is expanded in many applications from food production to sophisticated applications such as engine fuel efficiency. In the proposed package, it is tried to apply optimization techniques along with physics based analytical and semi-analytical methodologies to create a compelling framework which can help thermal-process based...
