Face à la forte progression des protocoles de communications et du nombre d’usagers, de nouvelles techniques numériques de traitement des signaux ont été introduits dans les systèmes actuels de communication mobile et sans fils pour garantir : un fonctionnement en multi-bande, une transmission d’un grand volume de données à très haut débit ainsi qu’une gestion […]

L’interférométrie radar est une technique innovante et opérationnelle pour l’extraction des données topographiques (InSAR) et la surveillance des mouvements du sol (DInSAR) à partir des images radar. Cette technique utilise l’information sur le déphasage des signaux radar provenant du même objet au sol observé selon des positions différentes du SAR (InSAR) ou de la même […]

Le projet a pour but d’améliorer la prévision du risque d’avalanche de neige sur les deux principales routes du nord de la Gaspésie. Depuis 2004, plus de 450 avalanches ont été rapportées sur les routes 132 et 198 par le ministère des Transports du Québec (M.T.Q.). Le stage a pour objectif l’analyse et l’évaluation de […]

Temperature control is very important to a modern day society. Certain beverages, such as soda pop, alcoholic beverages, and even water are refrigerated so that they are more refreshing to drink. This project objective is to design novel environmentally benign and emission-free-self-cooling beverage cans. Two different systems with different cooling approached are considered. The first […]

Alternative fuels and energy resources play a key role in both the short and long term sustainable development of transportation. Ammonia (NH3) is the only carbon-free chemical energy carrier (other than hydrogen) suitable for use as a transportation fuel. NH3 can be produced using either fossil fuels, or any renewable energy source, using heat and/or […]

Projected climate change is expected to alter fire regimes across the boreal forest, which in turn will affect forest community structure, composition and diversity. The intern will examine the effects of changes in climate, and by extension, fire cycle, on the presence of three most common tree species in the boreal forest of Canada. Specifically, […]

Important information in determining dental implant success is the anchorage provided by the width of the alveolar bone ridge at the location of the implant site calculated during the presurgical assessment. Currently used methods are invasive (x-rays radiation, needle based mapping or direct exposure) and to date, there is no real-time ultrasonic dental tool dedicated […]

Loads on the electricity grid are increasingly being viewed as potential controllable assets, rather than just a traditional load that generators must supply. This evolving view of loads in this manner has spurred the development of demand response methods for controlling the loads in real time in response to market price and regulation signals. In […]

This proposed research and development project is intended to create an Integrated Approach to Recovery of Mature Oil and Gas Asset Production and to achieve Strategic Lifecycle Liability Discharges in the oil & gas industries. Tansley Associates Environmental Sciences (TAES) and Athabasca University (AU) each have excellent talent pools and facilities with specific strengths in […]

The next generation cellular standard—called the fifth generation radio networks—is expected to include D2D (device-to-device) communications that allow two or more devices in proximity of each other to bypass the base-stations and establish direct local links. In consultation with our supporting organization, InterDigital, we have identified two key use-cases of D2D communications in 5G networks: […]

During the proposed internships, adaptive corrosion protection system (ACPS) will be developed as a stand-alone unit to provide optimum corrosion protection by changing the protection power according to the changes in environment or the material properties. This will allow the dynamic adjustments by implementing the feedback loop for the protected system. The proposed ACPS will […]

Les mines souterraines exploitent des ouvertures qu’elles appellent chantier. Il y généralement plusieurs chantiers côte-à-côte et lorsque le premier chantier a été exploité, il doit être rempli avant d’ouvrir le chantier suivant. Une des méthodes de remplir les chantiers est de faire parvenir de la surface, du remblai en pâte cimenté. Ce remblai ressemble à […]
