Le retard de la justice en matière d’intégration des outils numériques constitue un des constats les plus souvent rappelés du monde judiciaire. Ce retard est notamment perceptible au niveau du Tribunal des professions et des conseils de discipline des différents ordres professionnels québécois. Afin de corriger ce retard, le Projet vise à favoriser le passage […]

A new type of ecologic ultra-High-performance glass concrete (UHPGC) has been developed at University of Sherbrooke through the use of waste glass materials of different particle-size distributions derived from glass culets. The developed UHPGC proved to give several technological, economical, and environmental advantages compared to the conventional ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC). Producing UHPGC mixtures fitting the […]

Corrosion of internal reinforcement of concrete bridges represents a significant issue. Due to a presence of deicing salts, cycles of freezing and thawing, sustained and repetitive loads, the concrete loses its ability to protect the internal reinforcement. Unprotected reinforcement starts to corrode sooner than anticipated and, therefore, reduces the bridge service life. To avoid shortening […]

Ultra-High Performance Fiber Reinforced Concrete (UHP-FRC) material, can be considered a promising way to innovate in the management of Low and intermediate level radioactive waste (LILW) storing industry. UHP-FRC exhibits exceptional mechanical, serviceability, and durability characteristics in comparison to its traditional concrete counterparts. The current proposal focuses on the use of UHP-FRC in a new […]

Protection systems perform vital function in power distribution systems to ensure safety of public and equipment during network faults, and usually designed assuming a single power source supply. Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) are fast becoming an integral part of most Electric Power Systems around the world. Improvement in reliability, efficiency, power quality, and reduction in […]

Insurance companies heavily fund marketing campaigns such as, for instance, customer retention or cross-sell initiatives. Uplift modeling aims at predicting the causal effect of an action such as medical treatment or a marketing campaign on a particular individual by taking into consideration the response to an action. Typically, the result of an uplift model is […]

The cannabinoid class of medications are widely used to treat disease or alleviate symptoms such as spasticity and pain associated with MS. However, the exact molecular mechanisms by which they exert their beneficial effects remain unknown. Recent research and clinical trials demonstrated that cannabinoids may not only alleviate the symptoms of MS, but may also […]

Onshore and offshore pipe systems may be subject to loading events that result in mechanical response exceeding the material strength. There are technical and economic incentives for developing non-conventional, higher strength materials for use in long distance, large diameter and high pressure transmission pipeline systems. There exists uncertainty on the key factors influencing the mechanical […]

The Induced Polarization (IP) method of exploration geophysics can sense the depth, size and composition of certain metallic ore bodies. Measurements from within boreholes that surround an ore body can help determine its size and hence its economic worth. Such geophysical methods of determining the economic viability of a deposit are cheaper than doing so […]

Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) has become the leading cause of hospital acquired nosocomial diarrhea worldwide. The prolonged hospital stays associated with CDI has enormous impact on the healthcare systems in terms of costs and patient outcomes. While treatment of CDI is an important area for ongoing research, prevention efforts will need to be enhanced to […]

The purpose of this project is to map the networking structure of Montreal’s aerospace and ICT/AI clusters, and most importantly, the linkages that exist between these two clusters. As the global Aerospace industry continues to embrace digitization, Canadian Aerospace industry needs to act fast to hold a leading position in the international market. Montreal hosts […]

Telops, une entreprise canadienne spécialisée dans la conception et la fabrication d’imageurs hyperspectraux et de caméras infrarouge, a développé l’Hyper-Cam Méthane, un outil permettant de réaliser des mesures précises des émissions surfaciques de méthane. Cet outil est particulièrement adapté à la détection et à la quantification des émissions de méthane sur les sites d’enfouissement, qui […]
