Les réseaux et les microréseaux électriques sont rarement accessibles pour effectuer des tests. Le recours à des simulateurs à temps réel est une solution efficace pour permettre l’étude de ces réseaux électriques. Le réalisme de ces simulateurs à temps réel est étroitement lié à la précision des modèles utilisés ainsi que leurs lois de commande. […]

Antimicrobial resistance threatens effective prevention and treatment of microbial infections. Over two million hospitalized patients acquire infection from antimicrobial resistant microbes resulting in more than 23,000 deaths in North America. Therefore, development of a novel class of antimicrobials is in urgent need. The goal of our research project is to develop a novel antibiotic for […]

The mining industry is looking for technologies that improve sustainability through reducing environmental and energy burdens. In line with this, a program was created between Sudbury Integrated Nickel Operations, a Glencore Company and Laurentian University to prospect for opportunities for making better use of existing non-mineral resources. Interns on the Mitacs program will bioprosepect mine […]

Object tracking using stereo video is a field of research applicable to a large number of applications. However, most proposed methods are complex, and require significant computing resources to be implemented. As a result, the number of applications and environments where object tracking systems can be realistically deployed is limited. The proposed research project aims […]

Default correlation analysis has an important role in asset pricing and credit risk management. Our proposed default model aims to analyze the default correlation for two international companies. In this analysis, we would like to incorporate existing correlation between the stock indices in different countries and study its effect on the default correlation measure. Moreover, […]

AYO Smart Home Ltd. is pursuing the development of integrated energy management technologies for smart buildings. Various approaches such as heat recovery, solar energy, energy storage, and passive cooling are being investigated by the AYO Smart Home Ltd. company. Novel technologies for Heating, Ventilating, Air-Conditioning, and Refrigeration (HVAC-R) are also considered as a crucial part […]

Cette recherche sert à déterminer les facteurs qui affectent la performance d’un réseau d’entreprises. Par exemple, une augmentation de la demande peut causer des retards de livraison si l’entreprise ne prend pas les mesures nécessaires. La méthodologie proposée est de décortiquer le système étudié en trois sous-systèmes pour déterminer ces facteurs. Il s’agit de la […]

Although life expectancy is increasingly associated with the treatment of heart disease and cancer, there has been virtually no improvement in life expectancy for patients with dementia. Dementia has a devastating impact to the patient, family members and society because patients become dependent on family caregivers, who are then less productive in other aspects of […]

Additive manufacturing (AM) is a promising field as a sustainable alternative to traditional manufacturing processes for the aerospace sector because of the potential of low buy-to-fly ratio on materials. Cold spray offers the potential for AM of titanium parts due to its large deposition rates compared with current AM methods. However, some hurdles are found […]

The study focuses on the assessment of motor proficiencies of children before and after their involvement in a specialised recreation program, when compared to children of the same age who are enrolled in standard parent-selected programming. The specialised program sets at introducing children to a wide array of activities in multiple environments, and are taught […]

Unrecyclable Waste materials destined for landfills could be used as fuel for cement kilns with little to no pre-processing. The very high temperatures required in cement production make cheaper alternatives to coal as fuel, necessary to cut down on production costs. However a selected waste material replacing coal or petroleum coke must be suitable for […]

Greenest City Conversations is a research project aimed at developing multiple channels for public engagement on sustainability policies. MetroQuest (MQ) is a digital decision-support tool that generates alternative urban planning scenarios based on user choices, allowing users to evaluate the future consequences of their choices by comparing results and adjusting priorities. The City of Vancouver […]
