Infrastructure is facing significant environmental effects and climate change effects, compound by service conditions, which lead to rapid deterioration of bridges or marine structures for example. Corrosion of steel reinforcement in concrete structures is perhaps the main concern. Fiberglass reinforcing bars emerged as a promising alternative to steel bars and offer far better durability due […]

Carbon Exel’s mission is to defossilize the hard-to-decarbonize sectors by generating a low-carbon electro-diesel or e-diesel fuel. E-diesel is derived by transforming carbon dioxide (CO2) and green hydrogen (H2) into e-diesel powered by renewable electricity (hydro, wind, etc.). E-diesel releases 80% less CO2 emissions than traditional diesel, making it a viable option to reduce and […]

Ce projet de recherche est mené en partenariat avec Les Commissionnaires du Québec, une OSBL oeuvrant dans le domaine de la sécurité au Québec, et des chercheurs de Polytechnique Montréal. L’objectif du projet est de concevoir un prototype de système de recommandation pour supporter le processus d’appel d’offres, et à terme, d’améliorer la rentabilité des […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

Lululemon is a global leader in athletic apparel industry, focusing on high-quality, functional, and sustainable textiles. With a commitment to environmental responsibility, the partner is targeting 75% sustainable materials by 2025 and aims to source e.g. all cotton from sustainable sources. This joint project aligns with their sustainability mission by addressing two critical challenges: the […]

In this project the interns will work with a leading ultrasound imaging company, FUJIFILM VisualSonics Inc, developing advanced ultrasound beamforming techniques (the process by which images are formed) using specialized ultrasound instrumentation (the F2 system using the VADA platform) that will produce high resolution images of blood vessels in tissues. These advanced beamforming techniques (based […]

This project aims to reduce particulate emissions below 2.5 g/h from wood furnaces to comply with EPA and CSA standards. We will develop an innovative adsorbent column to capture particulate emissions. We will investigate the effects of different adsorbents and their blending ratios on capturing particulate emissions.

Preserving fruits and vegetables represents a significant global challenge due to their high susceptibility to spoilage driven by the phytohormone ethylene. Ethylene accelerates ripening, leading to a rapid decline in the quality and shelf life of produce, ultimately causing substantial postharvest losses. Currently, traditional approaches, such as potassium permanganate, are widely used for ethylene absorption […]

Hate speech manifests in various forms, ranging from overt slurs to more subtle, coded messages known as dogwhistles. These dogwhistles allow speakers to convey apparently innocuous messages that include an additional controversial layer only recognizable to a specific subgroup. This duality enables plausible deniability for the speaker while reinforcing group identity among those who understand […]

Livestock production is the number one agricultural source of greenhouse gases worldwide. Research shows that livestock feed greatly contributes to greenhouse gases from meat, milk, and eggs, making up more than 70% of the total emissions. The information available to Jefo from a previous project with the same team shows that their feed additives can […]

In supply-chain management, organizations rely on a wide variety of structured and semi-structured analytical resources such as task flows and key performance indicators (KPIs) to plan, monitor, and adapt to changes. These resources undergo frequent review and adaptation, often necessitating queries and manipulations in numerous ways. Utilizing Large Language Models (LLMs), this project aims to […]

Science du Sport Canada reconnaît l’importante influence des entraîneurs dans la création d’une culture d’excellence, centrée sur la performance et le bien-être des athlètes. Toutefois, la plupart des interventions se concentrent sur les contextes de haute performance, laissant les athlètes en développement insuffisamment étudiés. Cette étude documentera une intervention visant à instaurer une culture valorisant […]
