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. […]

The objective of the project is to analyse spatio-temporal trends in solar raditation at the ground surface in the last decades in the Arctic. It requires to compare local spatio-temporal trends of radiation data to global dataset (e.g. Tang 2019, 1983-2018). This project requires large data manipulation and visualisation as well as a technologic understanding […]

Amidst various causes of car accidents, those which result due to unseen vehicles or objects play an important role. Automatic Blind spot detection system is, therefore, one of the solutions which can improve the safety feature of a vehicle. Moovee Innovations, Inc., our partner company, is developing a light-weight vehicle designed to travel at urban […]

Carbon dioxide is produced from the combustion of fossil fuels and as a by-product of many chemical processes. The increasing concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere has now been decisively linked to global climate change. The use CO2 as a carbon-building block has attracted much attention due to its low cost, ease availability, and its […]

Avec la mondialisation des marchés et la forte compétition de l’industrie, les entreprises doivent se démarquer par des produits plus personnalisés tout en maintenant des prix abordables. L’utilisation des concepts de la production de masse personnalisée amène plus de complexité pour l’entreprise étant donné le nombre de pièces de plus en plus élevé. La recherche […]

Concevoir, développer et implémenter un système de surveillance On-line (permanent) dédié à la surveillance du comportement dynamique des machines basses vitesses. Une première phase sera allouée à l’étude de faisabilité, l’état de l’art, le choix de l’architecture (matériel et logiciel), et l’implémentation des protocoles de communication, c’est la mise en place de la chaine d’acquisition. […]

The project is designed to reduce the carbon intensity of ethylene production in Alberta. Ethylene is an important building block for the chemical industry to produce plastics, consumer goods, solvents, and paints. Ethylene is predominantly produced by steam cracking, releasing up to 2.7 kg CO2 eq./ kg of polyethylene produced. In Alberta, the production of […]

This project will help the drilling industry accept new technologies. This work will focus on create and testing more robust controllers for choke control, applying advanced controller techniques and designing these controllers to accommodate diverse operating conditions in different rigs.

The purpose of the research project is to identify the main soil types found within the FortisBC Electric service territory and identify the best alternatives for power pole installations within each soil type. This information will be made readily available to power line designers for use when selecting the foundation alternative during the design process […]
