Le stage a pour objectif d’appuyer la transformation du modèle d’affaires de ContinuumRD en une version numérique de cette dernière. Ce stage couvre la portion “Gestion de l’innovation” réalisée par la stagaire Nanette Sene et sera supervisé par M. Riad Hadou en appui l’administrateur de ContinuumRD (Stéphane Carpentier) et jumelé au professeur Fabiano Armellini de […]

The aim of this study is to develop novel biolubricants based on complex esters for non-internal combustion engine applications, and the main task of this project include synthesis and characterization of complex esters derived biolubricants. vegetable oils cannot be used directly as lubricants due to some performance limitations such as thermal and oxidative stability. In […]

Identity is one of the most fundamental aspects of our daily lives. From depositing money into a bank account, to attending a friend’s party, almost all of our activities go through some kind of identity relation. Current systems for managing this vast volume of identity “transactions” are mostly central, causing them to be targets for […]

Arcelor-Mittal opère un mine d’oxyde de fer dans la région de Fermont dans le nord du Québec. L’oxyde de fer est utilisé pour produire l’acier. Le minerai extrait de la mine est traité pour enrichir l’oxyde de fer (Fe2O3) en le débarrassant du quartz qui est le principal contaminant. Ce traitement permet de passer d’un […]

The proposed project will investigate the challenges and opportunities to implement Smart Waste Management in small and medium-sized communities. The scope of the project is planned for Nova Scotia. After reviewing and analyzing potential challenges, appropriate strategies to implement the project will be proposed. The next step of the project is to evaluate the technical […]

Plasma gasification is relatively new but has versatile applications with some wastes to energy pilots’ deployment. Thermal plasma treatment has been regarded as a viable alternative for the treatment of highly toxic wastes, such as incinerator residues, radioactive wastes, Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) and medical wastes. The Plasma gasification process converts organic matter into synthetic […]

Large amounts of crude oil and natural gas are located deep beneath Canada’s ocean floors. Currently, the offshore oil and gas industry makes a significant contribution to Canadian economy. Proper geotechnical modeling of seabed sediment is very important for safe, economic and reliable development and operation of offshore systems. The proposed research will advance the […]

Cooking activities are the main source of indoor pollutant emissions. Domestic range hoods are the most efficient technology to ensure a good indoor air quality. Running low efficient hoods at high air flowrates during and after cooking may ensure low concentrations of indoor pollutants in the kitchen, while being high energy demanding and noisy and […]

The dissolving pulp produced by Neucel Specialty Cellulose is a grade of pulp with high purity of alpha cellulose and used as the raw material to manufacture synthetic fibers, plastic materials, etc. The viscosity of pulp, one of the crucial factors, is undesirably decreased in the bleaching process, particularly in the hot alkali extraction stage, […]

Scrawlr is a platform for unconstrained, global interaction with all internet content and users. Scrawlr allows for user evaluation and unconstrained classification of any Scrawlr-hosted or non-Scrawlr content. For non-Scrawlr content, this evaluation and classification allowance will be first at the URL level but will subsequently be provided at the individual content component level. The […]

The ability to find fault in engine systems and proactively monitor their progression to remedy the root-cause before it fails is of paramount importance in today’s industry safety. An effecting change in current engine monitoring methods will require insight and understanding of the level of robustness and engineering rigour required to maintain safety and airworthiness […]

The notion of ownership is fundamental and essential in a number of settings, including the setting that is the focus of this proposal: information over the Internet. Ownership of some content, in turn, endows the owner with certain rights over the content. The intent of this proposed research project is to (a) precisely enunciate what […]
