Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a non-ionizing modality; therefore, there is no known damage on human tissue as opposed to ionizing imaging modalities, such as X-ray. Interventional procedures take long time and in order to prevent ionization, interventional MRI is very promising. On the other hand, there are safety concerns because of the possible temperature […]

The main goal of the proposed work is to develop an ultra-thin and selective GO membrane capable of separating water vapor or steam from air. For this purpose, a suitable membrane supports required to hold the GO sheets. Therefore, the GO sheets will be deposited on various membrane supports and their performance in terms of […]

Indoor environmental quality in schools is one of the major issues that should be considered. Indoor air quality (freshness and cleanness of air inside the building) and thermal comfort (the comfortable condition when no one is feeling either too hot or too cold) in schools can have significant impact on children’s health, learning and productivity. […]

In this research, first we will using tensor network techniques speedup the processing in neural network since computational cost is a major bottleneck in neural network based deep learning. Note that the weight matrix in each layer of neural network is with huge size, because of millions of parameters. This may cause large time complexity […]

Driven by economic, technical and environmental reasons, the energy sector is moving into an era where Distributed Generation (DG) will meet a large segment of increasing electrical energy demand. Local distribution companies (LDCs) are required to accept a given percentage of customer-owned renewable DG units in their system. Generally, DG introduces new possibilities such as […]

Down hole tools in the oil and gas (O&G) industry has long been used to increase the oil recovery and limit unwanted products like water, sand and steam. RGL is a world leader on both Sand control and Flow control products, with a focus on technology driven solutions. Various sand screens, slotted liner designs, flow […]

A very important phase in aircraft design is the aerodynamic design of the wing and various other components: wing-body fairing, tailplane, etc. With today’s computer power and progress in algorithm development, the design is made through complex mathematical models which are amenable to automatic optimization. An industrial adjoint-based three-dimensional viscous optimization framework, developed at Bombardier […]

Artificial intelligence (AI) provides powerful tools to many acoustic related applications. This proposal aims at acoustic signal processing and analysis and its applications using AI technologies. In order for AI to make progress in understanding the acoustic world around us, it needs to be interpreted along with multimodal messages. Three subprojects, i.e., multi-modal acoustic scene […]

Very few guidelines (such as the isotherm equations – the moisture content of hemp seeds at a given temperature, and relative humidify) exist on aeration, natural air drying, and storage of hemp seeds. If producers and managers used wrong isotherms, spoilage or over drying of the binned hemp seeds might occur during storage. The objectives […]

The CCAE project aims to create a hearing assistance device that is steered by brain activity. We will monitor brain signals that reflect the user’s attentional focus by the use of non-invasive brain recording called electroencephalography (EEG). These recordings will be used to help the hearing assistance device to separate, identify, and enhance sounds of […]

L’usine Kruger de Trois-Rivières dispose d’un système de traitement biologique des effluents imposant pouvant traiter plus de 70000 mètres cubes d’eau usée par jour. Suite à la récente fermeture de 5 machines à papiers et de deux coucheuses, le système de traitement biologique des eaux usées par boues activées (aussi nommé un réacteur biologique industriel) […]

A new seismic hazard model of Canada will be incorporated in the NBCC2020, which will increase the seismic hazard by 50-100%. Meanwhile, helical piles are a reliable and cost-effective alternative to conventional driven piles because of their fast installation, lower cost and lower labour risk. They are suitable for retrofitting existing deficient foundations because they […]
