Fiber lasers have become the fastest-growing laser with a projected worldwide revenue up to $1.41 billion in 2017. In particular, fiber lasers at 1.65 ?m have drawn increasing attention with potential applications in chemical sensing, LIDAR and spectroscopy. All-fiber Raman lasing technology is a promising and efficient technology to achieve high power lasing at 1.65 […]

The present aim of this study is to use an infrared thermography technique to non-destructively measure the three-dimensional surface stress field in a synthetic femur fracture model repaired with a new composite plate vs a clinically-used metal plate. To this end, there are three main phases of this study. First, the infrared thermography system will […]

Traditional energy sources, such as fossil fuels, are rapidly being depleted. Furthermore, CO2, one of the byproducts of burning these fuels, increases environmental risk such as climate change. Therefore, novel renewable energy paths are being developed to reduce the dependency on fossil fuels. Hydrogen, a clean energy carrier, is considered to be the best alternative […]

The pollutants from pulp and paper mill effluents are toxic to plant/marine life. Harsh plans on tackling this issue by treating wastewater that comes out of these mills before it has a chance to affect the aquatic life in fresh water resources. Pulp and paper mill effluent, much like any other industrial wastewater, contains trace […]

Ce projet de recherche a pour objectif de développer des logiciels d’analyse qualité de données provenant de systèmes hydrographique basés sur un sonar multifaisceau. Le projet va donc contribuer à automatiser un certain nombre de traitements de données et d’analyser la qualité des données acquises en quasi-temps réel. Le caractère innovant du projet réside intrinsèquement […]

Dans nos sociétés industrielles où les couts de la main d’oeuvre sont élevés, pour demeurer compétitif dans le marché global, les entreprises manufacturières doivent miser non seulement sur la technologie mais aussi sur sa mise en oeuvre la plus performante possible À l’ère du tout numérique, supporter les activités de l’entreprise par des moyens informatiques […]

Safe drinking water supply is a daily need but it can be seriously threatened by microbial hazards originating from fecal contamination of source water, especially following periods of intense rainfall. In order to assess drinking water intakes (DWIs) vulnerability to fecal pollution and to take cost-effective decisions in case of hazardous events, it is urgent […]

Surface modification to promote the patterning of mammalian cells is an important tool in cellular biology. It aids in the development of different tissue engineering scaffolds, biosensors, and validation of high throughput screening assays. Surface modification protocols must be tailored to each individual material which limits the utility of a successful antifouling strategy to individual […]

In the design of robotic mechanisms, dynamic balancing i.e. force and moment balancing is an important issue. The robotic mechanism’s accuracy and efficiency are affected because of the unbalance. Moreover, the forces and moments cause fatigue, noise and disturbance in its structural base. Previous research done by Prof. Chris Zhang include a force balancing method […]

Le présent projet porte sur une étude de praticabilité de nouvelles solutions technologiques dans la construction des assemblages de chevrons et poutrelles en bois. L’attention est portée sur le bouleau comme un candidat potentiel pour ces types d’utilisations résidentielles et commerciales. En effet, malgré ses caractéristiques favorables prouvées par plusieurs études, le bouleau ne figure […]
