L’objectif général de ce projet est de développer un équipement électrolytique à l’échelle du laboratoire et d’optimiser son fonctionnement, en développant les procédés électrolytiques appropriés pour réduire voir éliminer les phénomènes d’entartrage-corrosion et de croissance microbienne et ce, sans ajout de produits chimiques. Ce travail se fera en se basant et en se comparant avec […]

This project aims to develop an itinerary demand forecasting model that can handle long-term and short-term forecasting and adjust its parameters under changing situations. General long-term prediction models are relatively precise because the context often remains stationary over time, but can not quickly adapt to unforeseen events, like the global pandemics. It is necessary to […]

Le but du projet est de mettre au point de nouvaux modèles de mise à l’échelle pour le mélange de poudres propulsives. Des lacunes ont pu être observées lors de la mise en marche de la production à l’échelle industrielle de nouvelles de formulations de poudres propulsives et les règles de mise à l’échelle courrament […]

My research question of interest is: Can abandoned coal tailings impoundments be suitably utilized as sites for installation of solar photovoltaic (PV) panels for electricity generation? My research will focus on the feasibility analysis of renewable energy power generation utilizing geomembrane-mounted solar PV systems at the Victoria Junction Tailings Dam in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. […]

Food production and agriculture in Canada’s far North is met with many challenges. Short growing seasons, poor soil, extreme weather all impact the ability to effectively and efficiently produce food locally. In addition, Northern communities are at the end of a South to North supply chain, suspectable to multiple disruptions, both physical and economic. Our […]

The importance of Supply Chain Management in improving construction management performance has been recognized since the 1990s. However, construction projects still take a longer time to finish and overrun the allocated budget. Moreover, construction projects suffer from a lack of supply chain integration. Thus, the construction industry has a significant need for effective construction supply […]

Manipulation and characterization of ultrafast optical signals are fundamental procedures for a wide range of applications, including telecommunications, biology, quantum information science, spectroscopy, and atomic and molecular physics. In this context, the so-called theory of space-time duality offers a powerful framework for the development of important optical signal processing functionalities. One of its key elements […]

The City of Hamilton has developed some basic costing and implementation models for a) the replacement (retrofitting) of existing street lighting with LED street lighting and b) incorporate LED street lighting in new construction. These models were created in conjunction with the LED technical evaluations and it was identified that there is justification and a […]

Thales développe le Refit Optimizer, un outil de planification et d’ordonnancement. Cet outil de gestion de projets, semblable à Project de Microsoft ou Primavera d’Oracle, se démarque par ses algorithmes d’intelligence artificielle capables de proposer à l’utilisateur un ordonnancement optimal selon divers critères. Jusqu’à présent, l’outil a été utilisé pour planifier les opérations de rénovation […]

Recreational river waves are gaining more and more popularity, but there is not enough academic research to support them and very few companies around the world can artificially create them using adjustable structures in rivers. Surf Anywhere, the Calgary-based partner organization in this research, is one of those few companies that has completed and is […]

AV Cell, located in Atholville, New Brunswick, produces high-quality specialty cellulose (dissolving pulp). As an integral part of the manufacturing process, it operates a modern internal circulation (IC) anaerobic reactor system that handles the mill effluent while producing bio-gas that feeds to the boiler. The objective of the project is to enhance the performance of […]

L’objectif des travaux de recherche entrepris lors du séjour à l’étranger est de de mieux comprendre comment le contrôle en temps réel du réseau de drainage (contrôle intelligent des infrastructures de drainage) influence la conception des ouvrages de contrôle à la source (comme les infrastructures vertes visant à faciliter l’infiltration et l’évaporation de l’eau pluviale […]
