Ce projet vise à évaluer l’efficacité fonctionnelle des prothèses unicompartimentales personnalisées (PUCP) pour le genou, en comparant leurs performances à celles des prothèses standard (PUC). À partir de l’analyse biomécanique de diverses tâches fonctionnelles (marche, montée d’escalier, squat et lever de chaise) de 22 patients opérés (avec PUCP et standards) et 22 participants sains, des […]

Ce projet, en partenariat avec IBM Canada et son usine de Bromont, vise à développer des technologies avancées pour l’assemblage et les tests électroniques. IBM Bromont, la plus grande usine de son genre en Amérique du Nord, se spécialise dans des innovations comme l’assemblage flip-chip, les systèmes à haute densité et les tests avancés. Cependant, […]

All water utilities, engineering consulting firms, and provincial and federal departments in Canada responsible for design, operation, maintenance, rehabilitation, and development of a water distribution system would directly benefit from the outcomes of the proposed research. Efficient and effective asset management of water distribution infrastructure is a demand driven issue for any water utilities due […]

Rapid diagnostic tests play a crucial role in preventative medicine and epidemiology. Despite their widespread adoption in the industry, obtaining precise, quantitative results for low concentrations of analyte remains a significant challenge. For example, point-of-care (POC) tests for COVID-19 can exhibit a 70% rate of false negatives in some cases. The aim of this project […]

The advent of smartphones and the associated change in usage patterns indicates that carrier voice revenues are constantly going down and are expected to almost vanish in the near future. Data revenues are picking up but not at a rate which will make up for the shortfall in voice revenues. Also, the increase in data […]

Equitas est un organisme à but non lucratif qui œuvre à promouvoir l’égalité, la justice sociale et le respect de la dignité humaine à travers des programmes d’éducation aux droits humains transformateurs, tant au Canada qu’à l’international. Equitas se concentre sur la formation et le renforcement des capacités des individus et des communautés vulnérables pour […]

There is an increasing demand for high resolution multimodality imaging of research animals, such as mice and rats, to allow non-invasive monitoring of disease models and therapeutic interventions. This project focuses on the development of a new positron emission tomography (PET) imaging system that can be operated inside a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system. Once […]

Blending methane with hydrogen for power generation is well-known to significantly lower carbon-based emissions. However, studies have shown that implementing hydrogen is not trivial. In gas turbine combustion systems, major modifications may be required to facilitate the safe combustion of hydrogen and these modifications depend on numerical modeling. Turbulent combustion modeling can strongly accelerate the […]

The City of Ottawa operates two water treatment plants, Britannia and Lemieux Island Water Purification Plants. Their treatment consists of coagulation with alum, filtration and post-filter disinfection. The City operates its filters within a “biofiltration” framework intended to allow for the beneficial growth of friendly bacteria on the filter media surface. Biofiltration enhances removal of […]

This project promotes the use of recycled material by diverting it from current waste streams, thus reducing the pressures on local landfills and positively contributing to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. However, processing lumber waste generated in construction and demolition projects remains challenging due to the variability in dimensions and wood species as well […]

Le fleuve Saint-Laurent est essentiel pour le développement économique du Québec, car il sert de route principale pour le transport de marchandises et d’entrée en Amérique du Nord. Compte tenu de son intense activité, le Saint-Laurent a été choisi comme site pilote pour tester une nouvelle norme internationale, la norme S-100 de l’Organisation Hydrographique Internationale […]

This project would seek to develop an integrated system incorporating a reverse water gas shift (RWGS) reactor to convert carbon dioxide and hydrogen into carbon monoxide and water, aiming for maximum production of carbon monoxide. RWGS is an endothermic, catalytic, equilibrium-limited reaction, so the project team will seek to develop efficient, novel catalysts and supports, […]
