De par son rôle important dans l’économie québécoise, le transport de marchandise fait face, toutefois, à divers enjeux structurels pour répondre aux défis de la décarbonisation et doit explorer de nouvelles solutions de mobilité telles que les camions à hydrogène (H2) à piles à combustible. Certes, les véhicules électriques à batterie aient déjà montré leur […]

Stormwater outfalls are point sources containing various pollutants from urban environments that are often discharged directly into rivers. Previous research at University of Saskatchewan showed considerable concentrations of 2-anilo-5-[(4-methylpentan-2- yl)amino]cyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione (6PPD-quinone), a tire rubber-derived compound, in Saskatoon’s stormwater. 6PPD-quinone is an emerging pollutant of concern that is highly toxic to fish. Adsorption is a promising […]

This project aims to provide new stress-design equations based on the equivalent stress criterion for the design of pipelines. The first part of the project will evaluate the safety levels of the stress-design equations already existing in the design standards. The second part will focus on the proposal and calibration of the new stress-design equations […]

This project aims to develop an aptamer?based technology to enhance the in?vivo survival of oncolytic viruses and thus the efficiency of virotherapy. Oncolytic viruses (OVs) can selectively replicate in tumor cells, leading to lysis of the tumor. OVs are particularly effective against metastatic cancers, which are especially difficult to treat conventionally. However, OVs can be […]

It is the aim of this internship to develop and perform cost-analysis on a set of manufacturing protocols for batch production of high frequency annular ultrasound imaging arrays. To our knowledge this would represent the first time that such arrays have designed for high-volume (2000/wk) production, making the project highly novel. Once the process is […]

The impacts of climate change on source and receiving water quality are estimated to be profound. Climate change adaptation requires an anticipatory reaction across the water community to address design approaches to manage water quality and treatment costs into the future. The consideration of climate change in design is only recently gaining the attention of […]

Suite à une panne du réseau électrique, les principaux équipements des ménages voient leur consommation énergétique s’accroître pour combler le déficit accumulé pendant la panne. Par exemple, les équipements de chauffage et climatisation s’activeront à pleine capacité jusqu’au rétablissement des températures de consigne. Il en résulte, au niveau du réseau de distribution, en une demande […]

Considering the facts that road salts pose significant environmental impacts and infrastructural damages, this research will evaluate the organic products for snow and ice control for transportation facilities. An extensive field tests will be conducted focusing snow melting performances of the organic liquids over regular bine over an expected ranges of weather and other external […]

Concerning global warming and depletion of fossil fuel reserves, the integration of distributed energy generators into grids is rapidly increasing in the last decades. However, the distributed generators degrade power quality and may damage loads when islanding occurs in a part of the grid. To overcome these issues, all distributed generators must be equipped with […]

Le but du projet est de développer une méthode de gestion thermique des batteries d’un robot à propulsion électrique pour l’inspection de stations électriques. Ce véhicule devrait diminuer l’intervention humaine dans les sites éloignés, en faisant de l’inspection contrôlée à distance. Un défi majeur de ce type de véhicule est la capacité de stocker de […]

Le projet de recherche proposé sera effectué en collaboration avec Hydro-Québec et a pour objectif une meilleure compréhension des mécanismes à l’origine de l’instabilité des parois rocheuses par une analyse de quelques cas répertoriés dans le cadre du projet hydroélectrique de La Romaine. La méthodologie proposée comporte trois volets : i) Des analyses numériques par […]

The material properties of thermoplastic polymer composite parts manufactured by the fused filament fabrication additive manufacturing process are highly dependent on the thermal history. A good understanding of the heat transfer in fused filament fabrication is crucial for an accurate stress prediction and subsequently for repetitive, high-quality printing. A numerical simulation to model the thermal […]
