Both global warming and increasing supply of nickel and cobalt are urgently world-wide issues to be addressed. Mineral carbonation is a promising method to permanently store greenhouse gas CO2 into stable mineral carbonates but energy-intensive requirements and low-value products limit the successful application. Meanwhile, with the increasing demand on global nickel and cobalt supply for […]

MDA Montreal possesses a niche expertise on a wide variety of high-performance satellite telecommunication antennas. These antennas are exposed to extremely harsh environments. Some panels require a rigid mechanical assembly (i.e., nut and bolt fastening) but must preserve their thermal isolation for the proper operation of the antennas and to limit heat exchange towards the […]

The Nexii building system consists of a structural lightweight pre-cast sandwich panel system that attaches to an existing or new base building structure. In an effort to make the panels lighter and improve the building envelope performance, the new generation of Nexii panels use FRP instead of steel framing among several other modification to the […]

The objectives of this research project are (a) to record neuromuscular, cardiorespiratory, and cognitive related data using wearable sensors during running and hopping as two basic activities of many sports; and (b) convert the data to medically meaningful indicators of athletic performance and risk of injury using signal processing and machine learning algorithms. The project […]

Many chemicals can be used for the mix design of concrete 3D printing. With a traditional experimental approach, the number of experiments to conduct is exponential. The objective of this study is to develop a cement-based material suitable for 3D concrete printing applications by utilizing optimization and predictive algorithms. The question to answer is if […]

Major efforts have been undertaken to reduce ozone depletion substances (ODS) used in refrigeration systems such as hydrofluorocarbons (HFC). Carbon dioxide (CO2) is recognized as safe, economic and environmentally sustainable. Commercial transcritical CO2 (R744) refrigeration systems have emerged as leading technologies in food retails, especially in cold climate countries. Major research and development challenge is […]

Le partenariat avec l’entreprise a comme objectif principal de répondre à la problématique du traitement des eaux de ruissellement dans un contexte minier. Le projet comporte une extrême variabilité des débits d’effluent à traiter. L’évaluation des solutions d’optimisation se fera en fonction de données réelles. Ce partenariat permettra notamment d’améliorer la captation des métaux par […]

Prefabricated and modular construction has gained popularity compared to traditional stick-built construction, due to its benefits of shortened schedule, increased safety, benefits to the environment, and minimization of an unpleasant outdoor construction activities. In typical prefabricated construction, the building construction project is designed and converted into shop drawings for manufacturing purposes, which are conducted manually […]

In 5G and beyond networks, softwarization of network functions, as well as disaggregation of software and hardware, are the recent moves pushing Radio Access Networks (RAN) to be ultra-agile, reconfigurable and flexible. This flexibility comes along with complexity that goes beyond traditional algorithms’ capabilities to optimize the RAN. In addition, in future RANs, multiple-players interacting […]
