Advancing Data Science Research (Cohort #2)

Enormous quantities of machine-readable data, measured in many terabytes, are readily available. The sources include the world-wide web, publicly available databases, raw experimental data, unannotated genomic sequences generated by biochemical tools, and so on. However, data does not necessarily equal useful information. More often than not, the data has to be intelligently processed, interpreted, transformed, […]

Automated Temperature Monitoring System (ATMS)

The concept of Thermonalysis came from direct interaction with restaurant owners. A clearly identified problem is the current process of recording temperature and time readings of their food products. Monitoring food temperature is a critical step in ensuring customer safety. The current process of monitoring food temperature involves staff manually taking the food temperature and […]

Approche empirique à la calibration d’un modèle d’élément finis d’une mine en roche dure sous l’effet d’un comportement viscoplastique

L’exploitation d’une mine souterraine est sujette à d’importantes contraintes: l’espace de travail réduit, la distance parfois très élevé au minerai et le besoin de renforcer ou de supporter le massif rocheux. C’est sur ce dernier point que porte la présente recherche. Le choix d’un support de terrain approprié repose avant tout sur la bonne compréhension […]

Exploring the Impacts of Music Therapy with People Receiving Palliative Care in Rural NS

Music Therapy (MT) has the potential to support health and well-being of people with incurable diseases and limited life expectancy. Yet, it is a relatively underused service in Canada. There is a need for non-invasive and non-pharmacological treatment options in Palliative Care because such treatments can sometimes further exacerbate illness (e.g., drug interactions). Research has […]

Smart Energy Network at residential to community levels: optimization of natural gas, electricity and heat with end-use devices

There is growing pressure from intergovernmental organizations, governments and consumers to reduce the quantity of greenhouse gases being released into the atmosphere. Investments in green technology such as renewable energy sources, battery technology and carbon capture and sequestration can often yield significant reductions in carbon emissions. However, the corresponding economic costs of these projects can […]

Changements climatiques et productivité forestière

Depuis 2005, la possibilité annuelle forestière au Québec est calculée par le Forestier en Chef à l’aide de logiciels perfectionnés qui utilisent des données empiriques pour prédire les volumes de bois futurs. WSP est souvent appelé à travailler sur ces calculs. Cette méthode supporte l’hypothèse que ces conditions vont se maintenir au court des rotations […]
