Avec la demande croissante d’énergie renouvelable et l’ouverture des marchés de l’énergie, on observe une augmentation de la sollicitation des équipements et un changement dans le mode opératoire des centrales. Il devient ainsi primordial pour les producteurs de caractériser la durée de vie des turbines et de cibler précisément les délais pour l’arrêt, la maintenance […]

The demand for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is on the rise, mainly due to increased interest in portable devices, electric vehicles and grid-storage applications. The key component in such rechargeable batteries is lithium, which is trivial from the name itself as well, as lithium-ions shuttle back and forth during charging/discharging process. Consequently, lithium production demand has […]

In times of crisis or disaster, there is a need for software features and functions to be empathetic to the circumstances of the person who is using that software. Having empathetic software features and functions is particularly important when the software is being used to collect data about the health status and information needs of […]

Dans la région des Laurentides, plus de 40% de la population s’approvisionne en eau potable à partir de l’eau souterraine. La région est sillonnée d’un vaste réseau hydrographique. Toutefois, très peu de données sont disponibles sur la connectivité nappe-rivière dans cette région qui subit une forte pression environnementale en provenance du développement urbain et de […]

Le présent travail de recherche vise à élaborer une analyse fonctionnelle technique pour un système de pompage constitué de plusieurs stations en réseau dans un environnement informatique spécifique dénommé SCADA appliqué aux stations de pompage d’eaux usées. Une synthèse bibliographique sera réalisée sur les études antérieures et les systèmes utilisés pour l’optimisation du fonctionnement des […]

Adaptive radiotherapy (ART) consists of adjusting irradiation at each treatment phase in response to changes in the patient’s body (such as weight loss) or from the patient’s change in position. Indeed, since initial dose plans are determined from standard CT, the initial dose distribution may vary and yield sub-optimal dose delivery. Intra-procedural imaging such as […]

Ekona Power Inc is developing a technology to convert natural gas into H2, electricity and a pure CO2 stream. The CO2 stream will them be removed using underground carbon sequestration. Their approach uses two processes. The first uses pyrolysis to convert natural gas to hydrogen and solid carbon. The second uses a fuel cell to […]

Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS) will be essential in developing and monitoring Canada’s territories. This is in part due to a lack of suitable human pilots due to skill shortages and difficult conditions making recruitment difficult; there are also “dull, dirty and dangerous” aspects of the missions that make a remote pilot operation safer. Miniaturization, […]

Snoring during sleep is common and is sometimes indicative of a mechanical impediment to breathing. The condition, called high upper airway reSistance, is thought to be relatively common affecting roughly 15% of the population. It is characterized by complaints of day1ime fatigue and/or sleepiness and is associated with a myriad of disastrous effects on a […]

Quantifying the current extent of wetlands and how they have changed over the last number of years is important for understanding how wetland ecosystem services (including flood mitigation, food services, and migrating bird habitats) are sensitive to climate change. In this project, we will work with the partner organization to develop accurate methods for wetland […]

The appearance of multidrug resistance of pathogens is challenging the researcher and industrial communities to develop more efficacious antimicrobial treatments. Blue-O Technology Incorporation (Blue-O Tech) has developed a novel formulation of medicine that accelerates the wound healing, while having an excellent antimicrobial strength over a broad spectrum of pathogens. The objectives of this study are […]

The Ontario Dental Association requires the time of three hours between two clients in a dental office to prevent the transmission of COVID-19; however, this strict guideline poses a great challenge to the economics of dental business and the recovery of Ontario economy. The results of this study will help understand the COVID-19 transmission in […]
