In industries, chemical processes involve different plants running in parallel with different production rates under the strict constraints on available resources. Therefore, events like shutdown of one or more plants, operating plants with different production grades with flexible run length time, different equipment utilization rates of plants are vital to be studied, scheduled, and optimized. […]

Mining operations have significant environmental impacts, making the adoption of innovative, energy-efficient materials handling technologies crucial for achieving both economic viability and environmental sustainability. This Mitacs project focuses on optimizing the materials handling systems at the Kerr-Sulphurets-Mitchell (KSM) Project in British Columbia to reduce its operating costs and GHG emissions. The project aims to identify […]

Ce projet s’inscrit dans le cadre d’une recherche doctorale. Il se situe dans le contexte du vieillissement en milieu rural estrien et autour du cas paradigmatique Culture aux aînés (CAA) présent dans les municipalités régionales de comté (MRC) du Val-Saint-François et Des Sources. CAA, un dispositif novateur interdisciplinaire encadré par une action de médiation culturelle, […]

Achieving sustainability in the tourism industry requires appropriate tools to make decisions and assessments in an “integrated and well-informed way”. In this context, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are tools that could vastly contribute to the assessment of sustainability due to their capabilities to integrate and combine information for the dimensions of environmental, social, and economic […]

This project aims to advance the development of fusion energy, a technology with the potential to provide nearly limitless, clean power for the future. General Fusion’s approach, known as pulsed fusion, differs from traditional methods by releasing energy in short, intense bursts rather than maintaining a continuous reaction. This method makes the process more controllable […]

Overcoming an injury as an athlete is not easy and usually requires the help of professionals to guide the rehabilitation process. Athletic therapists, doctors and other health professionals in sports medicine are interested in better ways to help players get back to the game safely. Instead of following set rehabilitation protocols, we are now focusing […]

Le projet MicroGeoNx vise l’utilisation des méthodes génomiques pour améliorer la caractérisation et le monitoring des réservoirs géologiques souterrains. Les réservoirs de stockage souterrain sont essentiels aux activités de gestion de réseau de distribution et permettent entre autres d’améliorer la sécurité énergétique des régions où ils sont exploités. Intragaz SEC opère les deux réservoirs de […]

Creating lifelike digital characters is essential for multimedia and video games, with realistic facial animations playing a crucial role. This requires playing high-quality facial animations in real-time. Many existing methods either compromise on quality, require too much computing power, or use excessive memory. Our research aims to develop new techniques that ensure high-quality facial animations […]

Étudier les systèmes de fermeture des contenants utilisés pour le réemballage afin de les comparer avec ceux des fabricants.

Ce projet de recherche vise à démontrer comment l’optimisation de l’application des principes de Kaizen peut transformer les pratiques de gestion des dossiers de production, en offrant des bénéfices significatifs en termes de qualité, de conformité et d’efficacité. Commençant par une revue de littérature sur l’application de la méthode kaizen dans différents types d’industries ce […]

Canada, with 20% of the Earth’s freshwater resources, is experiencing changes to its terrestrial water cycle as the impacts of climate change progress. This can lead to complex water storage changes manifesting as flood risks and droughts on various spatiotemporal scales. This project aims to compare a state-of-the-art physics-based hydrological modelling platform, namely HydroGeoSphere, part […]

The partner organization intends to decarbonize it’s Canadian lime kilns. One option is to switch to biogenic sources worldwide, although doing so will still result in CO2 emissions. A preferred option is to switch to hydrogen, because it is clean and results in higher kiln efficiency. The technology described in this proposal would advance these […]
