Les membres de la communauté scientifique québécoise auront bientôt accès à deux ordinateurs quantiques : MonarQ, construit par Anyon Systems, via Calcul Québec et IBM System One de 127 qubits, construit par IBM Quantum, via PinQ2. Ces deux ordinateurs disposent d’interfaces différentes pour qu’un utilisateur envoie des calculs : Qiskit pour IBM codé en Python, […]

Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is a description increasingly used to refer to aviation turbine fuel (jet fuel) that is produced from renewable and sustainable resources. The use of SAF for commercial air transport holds the promise of reducing the fossil fuel footprint of this industry. However, in North America it is at present not legal […]

The global installed capacity of nitrogen-based fertilizers is about 190 million tons and is projected to grow by about 6 per cent by 2027. Approximately half of the world’s population relies on these fertilizers to produce food. At present, the production of urea relies on natural gas that corresponds to approximately 1-2% of the annual […]

Le projet de stage chez Empenn a pour objectif de modéliser les conséquences des traumatismes crâniens chez les enfants en se basant sur des données d’imagerie par résonance magnétique (IRM). Ce stage sera mené par la stagiaire Andjela Dimitrijevic, se concentrant principalement sur l’acquisition de données liées au traumatisme crânien léger (TCC) chez les enfants, […]

Canada’s bioeconomy, utilizing renewable biological resources for producing materials and energy, holds promise for diversifying the nation’s economy. Pulp mills are integral to this shift, transforming wood fibers and residues into various high-value products, fostering innovation and sustainability. Key to this transition is understanding mill sustainability through life cycle assessment (LCA). However, there’s a notable […]

Ultra large software systems play an increasing important role in our lives. They are systems such as the world wide banking system, mobile communications systems, social networks, online retailers and online gaming systems. Ultra large software systems are critical and failures in the systems can critically impact the economic health of companies, markets and even […]

This research project focuses on studying how a coastal community in Japan responds to a tsunami evacuation drill. The main goal is to understand and improve the community’s preparedness for such emergencies. The study will collect data through questionnaires, GPS tracking devices, and drone footage during a tsunami evacuation drill. The researchers will analyze people’s […]

Le principal objectif de ce projet est d’aider Solutions Will à faire face à la croissance exponentielle imminente de ses activités. Pour ce faire, le projet préconise la mise en œuvre de la transformation numérique et de l’automatisation, en utilisant des outils technologiques pour améliorer l’efficacité opérationnelle et augmenter la capacité de l’entreprise à accueillir […]

Drilling and blasting are critical within the mining industry and affect subsequent operations including milling, and can therefore limit the competitivity of a mine. Ideally, upon blasting, the valuable rock (a.k.a. the ore) should land in piles that are distinct from the piles of waste rock. However, some waste rock is inevitably mixed with the […]

The heavy-duty fuel cell truck project will address specific challenges in decarbonizing the BC heavy duty transportation sector. Class 8 heavy duty fuel cell trucks available for US markets are not suitable for the challenging demands of BC terrain as well as higher allowable transportation loads of 64 tons versus 40 tons. Simulations will be […]

Current communication means such as; Spreadsheet, the internet and Emails are not good enough when a change happens in a Billion $ oil and gas project where hundreds of technicians, engineers, managers, contractors from various disciplines in different locations are involved. The solution is an automated workflow process. Simply put, workflow is the step-by-step procedure […]

The proposed research project seeks to define the environmental advantages and cost challenges associated with the design of two types of alternative fuel vehicles; battery electric and bi-fuel CNG + gasoline, with respect to a changing American market. These alternative fuel vehicles will be compared to traditional internal combustion vehicles and assessed based on the […]
