Today’s wind energy prediction procedures ignore the flow deceleration, also known as blockage, caused by the wind farm on the approaching wind, resulting in a power overprediction bias that pervades the entire farm. Numerical large eddy simulations (LES) of wind farms immersed in atmospheric boundary layers (ABL) will be used to study the phenomenon and […]

The special characteristics of plastics have led to them taking an essential role in society. Unfortunately, plastic consumption, production and disposal significantly impact the community. The failure of research labs to better understand the actual costs of lab plastic wastes has led to poor management of plastic materials and growing social, ecological and economic costs […]

The proposed consultancy services are going to conduct research related to the introduction of Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) tools in a low-income African country (based on the Rwandan case study). Quantifying the effect of installing enforcement cameras on the number of damages, injuries, fatality collisions, and traffic offenses like speeding, crossing red lights, and talking […]

De nos jours, les pièces en céramique de grande précision sont généralement obtenues par moulage par injection, un procédé rentable pour la production à grande échelle, mais non viable pour la production de petites séries de pièces telles que les pièces d’horlogerie. Il est donc nécessaire de trouver de nouvelles techniques pour ce type de […]

AJ Min Inc. is developing a novel technology to recover gold from tailings material. The technology requires little energy, little to no reagents, and little to no additional water. Past testwork has indicated that this technology can recover significant amounts of gold from some tailings material, and that the recovered gold can be upgraded. This […]

Oil sands tailings, a mixture of clay, sand, water and residual oil, is a by-product from the oil sands mining and extraction process in Alberta, Canada. This mixture is hydraulically transported and stored in engineered structures built with coarse sands separated from the oil sands tailings. The dimensions of these structures depend on the storage […]

Blockchain technology is, by nature, transparent and decentralized. However, transparency can sometimes be a direct threat to the system’s decentralization when most of the profitable transactions get stolen by several high-power entities. This de-incentivizes new users from using the system and renders the whole system useless. In this project, we aim to guard decentralization against […]

In industries, chemical processes involve different plants running in parallel with different production rates under the strict constraints on available resources. Therefore, events like shutdown of one or more plants, operating plants with different production grades with flexible run length time, equipment utilization rates of different plants etc. are vital to be studied, scheduled, and […]

L’approvisionnement en biomasse est un aspect crucial de la production de biocarburants de première et éventuellement de seconde génération. La disponibilité de la matière première, pour l’industrie des biocarburants de première génération, est régie par le marché et ainsi le maïs par exemple génère des ventes jusqu’à 2000 $ par hectare de terres pour les […]

Mosquito bites are responsible for spreading diseases such as malaria, yellow fever, and dengue that account for over one million deaths per year. To mitigate the spread, insecticides and repellents are heavily used. However, studies show mosquitoes are developing resistances, escalating the need for alternative solutions. It is proposed here to investigate a new approach […]

Dans la Zone d’entraide d’Alloprof, les élèves peuvent poser leurs questions. Présentement, Alloprof a un système automatisé de recommandations de contenus pédagogiques qui, à partir des questions posées dans la Zone d’entraide, propose des rubriques d’aide à lire. Toutefois, plusieurs élèves posent des questions qui sont transmises sous forme d’images, par exemple, une photographie d’une […]

Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) can 3D print final parts from continuous carbon fiber composites with high structural and thermal performance. In this project, a custom-built 3D printing head with feeding and cutting capabilities will be designed and manufactured. It will be installed on a robotic 3D printer to manufacture parts from high-temperature continuous fiber composites. […]
