Le contrôle de qualité de comprimés pharmaceutiques implique habituellement des analyses requérant une préparation laborieuse des échantillons, ce qui occasionne des coûts élevés et des délais considérables. À ce jour, peu de technologies permettent une analyse rapide et/ou en ligne d’ingrédients actifs à de très faible concentration massique (sous 1% massique). L’objectif général de ce […]

With technology advancements, specifically, the development of cloud technologies has created a new delivery method of applications to businesses. The traditional model of physical installing software on a per machine basis is shifting to a centralized hardware/software model accessible through the internet. The current software delivery model is dominated by primary market vendors such as […]

Global population growth, urbanization and changing climate patterns have increased the demand for potable water, wastewater reuse and value recovery from wastewater, and treatment of industrial process water. Population growth also results in increased demand for the shipping of goods by ocean freight, with the associated risk of the transport of unwanted marine life from […]

The production rate of petcoke is growing rapidly because of continuous increase in the volume of heavy crudes. This poses a long-term challenge to the upgrading and refining plants to find an economical petcoke utilization approach and reduce their waste products and also environmental impacts. In addition to its profitability feature, this technology should ideally […]

Ce projet vise à utiliser les polymères naturels du bois, la lignine et la cellulose, afin de remplacer des produits de sources pétrolières dans la composition des plastiques, produits isolants et matériaux composites. L’usine Kruger de Trois-Rivières a démarré en août 2014 une usine pilote de filaments de cellulose (FC) de pâte thermomécanique. Ces FC […]

Because of the toxicity of selenium, its removal from waste water is a crucial treatment before discharging. Selenate (Se(VI)) and selenite (Se(IV)) are the most common species of Se in waste waters. There are many efficient methods for removal of selenite from wastewaters (e.g., ferrihydrite chemical co-precipitation, cementation, or adsorption) while the removal of selenate […]

Large businesses can incur enormous costs in servicing customers through call centres. Depending on the size of a company, the volumes of calls can be in thousands of calls per hour. Intern Thomas Bennett will work with Adroit Vista and his academic supervisors to develop a statistical methodology to optimally extract information from call center […]

In an era of declining public spending, cities across Canada are in the grips of an affordable housing (and corresponding homelessness) crisis. Last year, in Ottawa, nearly 7,000 people stayed in an emergency shelter and more than 10,000 households were on a waitlist for affordable housing in Ottawa. Through targeted policy research and semi-structured key […]

Biobased products, mostly derived from plant biomass, have the potential to improve the sustainability of Canada’s natural resources and environmental quality while competing economically. Plant biomass, composed primarily of cell walls and modification of cell wall properties has the potential to improve biomass conversion to biobased products such as biofuels. Progress towards achieving this goal […]

HVdc is the preferred approach for transmission of bulk power into existing AC network from point to point and from remote generation resources because of technical advantages, including low transmission losses. Integration of HVdc grid with existing AC grid provides considerable economic benefits while throwing up challenges for effective control of both the grids at […]

This project aims toward development of a polymeric delivery system for controlled release of cannabinoids, with application in treatment of patients suffering from glaucoma. InMed Pharmaceuticals is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company that specializes in developing cannabis based therapies with innovative drug delivery systems. So far, two candidates were introduced: CTI-085 is a topical formulation […]

The Project builds on existing research to advance the design of a novel, cargo carrying UAV for commercial and humanitarian purposes. The project will apply adaptable winglet, fuselage aerodynamics, and aircraft controller research to tailless, flex-wing ultralight aircraft with 2-axis control. Such an aircraft will have many advantages over conventional fixed wing aircraft, including mission […]
