The use of organic residual wastes as substrate to produce ingredients for cleaning formulations, such as enzymes, allows to decrease the carbon emission linked to the production of ingredients from fresh raw materials and to their transport. Furthermore, the Quebec policy for the management of residual wastes stipulates that in the year 2022 the landfilling […]

Montréal veut être reconnu mondialement comme une ville dominante dans le domaine de l’intelligence artificielle (IA). De nombreuses entreprises en IA sont justement en train de s’implanter ou de se créer à Montréal. Dans ce contexte, Thalès et le CENTECH ont décidé de s’associer pour créer l’IA@CENTECH : un incubateur pour les Startups en IA […]

The main goal of this research project is to reduce the rate of occurrence of these distresses by designing and developing improved asphalt binder and asphalt mixtures appropriate for St. John’s environmental and loading conditions. The project will develop recommendations on specifications for asphalt binders, modifiers and asphalt mixtures to enhance the rutting and moisture […]

A robot, like any cybernetic system, must perceive it’s world and act upon it to accomplish goals. Most goals are complex and must be broken down into simpler tasks. In the physical world, these tasks almost always require motion to accomplish. But motion itself is far from simple; joint movements must be coordinated, obstacles avoided, […]

Accurate and sensitive analysis of lipids is a challenge for the medical and nutritional fields. In this proposal, we describe a new method for their analysis using a technique seldom applied to these problems. We propose to make a number of modifications to existing instrumentation to facilitate this; in partnership with Dalhousie and the Atlantic […]

In this project, we will consider construction supply chain management SCM within the context of BIM. The objective is to provide an automated BIM-based platform for construction supply chain planning. Using automatic data extraction from a BIM file, we will develop sophisticated supply chain optimization models that fit the reality of construction projects. Here, the […]

Bien qu’imperceptible à l’oeil nu, la surface d’un parebrise automobile n’est pas parfaitement lisse. On y retrouve de minimes fluctuations, qui dévient légèrement la lumière passant à travers la surface de verre. Ces déviations diminuent la précision des applications de conduite assistée (par exemple, l’assistance au freinage), qui dépendent d’une caméra positionnée derrière le parebrise. […]

The project aims at developing cost-effective steel seismic force resisting systems for multi-storey building structures that can achieved superior performance in terms of seismic stability and amplitude of damage. The system can be used for the construction of new structures or the seismic rehabilitation of existing structures. The system could also be implemented when adding […]

Durham Region is committed to responding to the climate emergency by embedding climate change considerations across all elements of Regional business. This research will involve an examination of the Region’s entire waste management system and develop a full life cycle analysis model for GHG emissions which can be used to identify opportunities and support strategies […]

The aim is to improve a software tool for reliability-based quantitative analysis of dents (QuAD) in pipelines developed by Enbridge. QuAD is a tool used to predict the failure for dented pipelines, so that the deteriorated pipeline segments can be reliably identified for excavation to avoid failure. The critical concern with the current QuAD tool […]

Transportation to treatment centers is a major concern for cancer patients. In this proposal, we offer four projects as an integrated approach to study different aspects of the implementation of a volunteer ride and lodging service for breast cancer patients in Quebec province, Canada. The first project considers the simulation of this system to evaluate […]

The primary role of the lubrication system of aero-engines is to remove the excess heat generated by the movement of the bearings, gears and shafts. As a part of the lubrication system, an aero-engine has bearing chambers whose principal function is containing oil and preventing oil leakages. Inside the bearing chamber is found a mixture […]
