Markerless kinematics analysis of divers to promote excellence in execution

The project goal is to extract motions of high-level divers to quantify technique and outcome (key indicators) markers. We need to measure some discrete variables (maximum height, flight time, springboard depression and others) and explain why the athlete is able to reach those results by calculating spatio-temporal variables (coordination with the board, lower and upper […]

Étude du potentiel des substances allélochimiques à être utilisées comme bioherbicide dans un contexte d’agriculture urbaine au Brésil

Dans la nature, certaines plantes peuvent relâcher des substances biochimiques ayant des effets positifs ou négatifs sur d’autres organismes végétaux. Elles sont appelées substances allélochimiques. L’étude de leurs effets sur les semences de mauvaises herbes et d’organisme ciblés, dans un contexte d’agriculture urbaine, pourrait mener au développement d’un bioherbicide de faible toxicité. Ce projet a […]

A life cycle impact assessment methodology based on planetary boundaries

Planetary boundaries can be understood as limits for the Earth’s tolerance towards environmental impacts in the form of, for example, greenhouse gas emissions, water use and the release of nitrogen and phosphorous. This project aims at making planetary boundaries useful to the environmental management within companies. This will happen by developing a method that quantifies […]

Une étude numérique du comportement sismique d’un parc à résidus

La stabilité des parcs à résidus est une priorité pour l’industrie minière due aux conséquences graves qui peuvent être associées avec une rupture. Le taux de défaillance de ces ouvrages est dix fois plus élevé que celui des barrages conventionnels et 25 % des défaillances sont attribuables à la séismicité. En raison de leur permanence, […]

Hybrid Solar Panel

The project’s main objective is a further reduction of dependence on fossil fuels in our everyday electric appliances. Fossil Fuels are used to generate electricity and they emit dangerous greenhouse gases to the environment which one of its consequences is the familiar global warming phenomena. By integrating a heat exchanger to the original solar PV […]

Multi-Axis Experimental Assessment of Prototype suspension for Heavy Commercial Vehicles

Different types of the interconnected suspension systems have been suggested, designed and demonstrated. Although the ample work has been done in the area of interconnected suspension, the work for overcoming or satisfying practical limitations and commercialization of the suspension considering all the space and size constraints is not sufficient. The proposed research work involves In-Lab […]
