Création de bases de données et de réseaux de neurones convolutifs pour l’analyse granulométrique par photographies

Au cours de la dernière décennie, les réseaux de neurones convolutifs (CNN) ont révolutionné l’analyse d’images dans plusieurs domaines du génie. Toutefois, on retrouve encore peu d’utilisation de CNN en géotechnique. Une des applications les plus évidentes pour les CNN dans ce domaine est la classification des sols et la réalisation d’analyses granulométriques à partir […]

Operational Optimization of PV-B (Photovoltaic-Battery) renewable energy communities with the objectives of minimizing OPEX and peak load

This project focuses on creating a smart, efficient energy management system for local communities powered by solar panels and batteries. By using advanced reinforcement learning (RL) techniques, the system will automatically control energy use, storing excess solar power in batteries to reduce costs and keep the grid stable. This approach helps communities rely more on […]

Simplified technique for measuring ammonia emissions during manure management: A validation study

Manure storage and spreading release various air emissions, including ammonia (NH3), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and particulate matter. Among these, ammonia is the most common gas emitted, which can harm air quality, human health, and the environment. High ammonia levels contribute to air pollution by forming fine particulate matter, which harms human health and […]

Développement et validation des semelles en lattices imprimées en 3D pour décharger et traiter les ulcères du pied chez des patients diabétiques

Chez les personnes diabétiques, la marche régulière permettrait de réduire la mortalité, aide à contrôler la glycémie et diminue l’insulinorésistance. Cependant, elles risquent davantage de développer des ulcères aux pieds, pouvant conduire à l’amputation. La prévention et le traitement précoce de ces problèmes incluent des chaussures ou semelles optimisant la répartition de la pression plantaire. […]

Model Development to Correlate Pulp Properties with Chip Quality and Online Sensor Data

The proposed research project will investigate how specific pulp fibre properties, such as length, impact the mechanical and optical qualities of paper. Using data from Quesnel River Pulp’s operations, the student will create a detailed profile linking these fibre characteristics to paper strength, surface texture, and brightness, providing insight into how various wood chip blends […]

Comprehensive analysis of the production of green hydrogen from selected biomass (cocoa pod husk, rice husk, coconut husk, sawdust, etc.) resources for assessment of the economic viability of the process.

This study seeks to conduct a comprehensive analysis to investigate the optimum process parameters for generating green hydrogen from waste materials (cocoa pod husk, rice husk, coconut husk, sawdust, etc.) and to assess the economic viability of the process. The use of the selected biomass as feedstock would provide a clearer scientific understanding of green […]

Evaluation of the Corrosion Tendency of a Novel of 2-amino 2-methyl propanol (AMP) and 1-(2-hydroxyethyl) pyrrolidine (1-(2-HE) PRLD) Blend used for CO2 Capture from Industrial Exhaust Gases in a Commercial CO2 Capture Plant

This projects aims to evaluate the corrosion rate of carbon steel in a 2:2 molar ratio (4M total molar concentration) of AMP: 1-(2-HE) PRLD environment as a function of absorber/desorber temperature, O2 concentration in the flue gas, and CO2 loading. This evaluation is to ensure that this novel amine blend can be used reliably with […]
