The program, run by compassionate artists, aims to improve well-being through attentive and responsive arts engagement. While participants report […]

During rainfall events, it is nearly impossible to prevent water from entering into a sanitary sewer system. When this does occur, the capacity of the systems is decreased while the amount of water sent to treatment plants is increased. Current design practices do not offer any insights into the variability and other statistics characterizing this […]

Les infrastructures souterraines sont essentielles pour les services publics. Toutefois, en 2022, le Canada a enregistré une moyenne de 42,4 bris d’infrastructures souterraines causés par des tiers par jour de travail, posant des risques pour la sécurité et générant des coûts importants. Les coûts directs de réparation sont identifiables, mais les impacts sociaux et environnementaux […]

Seasonal and environmental allergies are estimated to affect approximately 15% of the population in North America, leading to more than 3 million missed workdays per year with annual costs exceeding 8 billion dollars. Allergy symptoms from pollen or dust mites include sneezing, nasal congestion, and watery eyes, but in severe cases, asthma attacks may be […]

This project focuses on improving the component quality after Laser Beam Machining (LBM) for HS188 (AMS5608), a superalloy critical in aerospace and power generation due to its high strength and corrosion resistance. LBM often leaves a recast layer, a residue of resolidified molten material on the side edges, which weakens the material’s strength and corrosion […]
