This project is a necessary step toward model development for machine condition assessment that is capable of both diagnosis and prognosis including root cause analysis. The analytical model, once validated and calibrated can serve as a baseline model or a template for the detection of machine health problems. Because of the details of a machine […]

Ce projet vise à réaliser une étude de cas sur 3 entreprises québécoises : Interloge, UTILE et Mission Unitaînés. Ces cas décriront leur mode particulier de gouvernance et d’organisation en entreprise collective ainsi que leurs modèles d’affaires alternatifs et innovateurs en développement et en gestion de logements hors marché destinés à répondre aux besoins particuliers […]

La compagnie Trevi Inc., le plus important fabricant de piscines hors terre au Québec, souhaite substituer une partie du polypropylène utilisé dans les composantes de piscines par de la fibre de bois dans une perspective de diminuer l’impact environnemental de ses produits, dont les composantes produites par injection. L’introduction des fibres de bois dans le […]

Free roaming wild pigs are known to harbour diseases that are of concern to both humans and livestock. Both trichinosis and toxoplasmosis are diseases that wild pigs are known to have globally but less is known about whether free roaming wild pigs in Alberta are infected. Using samples collected as part of a provincial eradication […]

Selon Design Montréal (2021), 89 % des entreprises en design et architecture au Québec sont des petites et moyennes entreprises (PME). Les travailleur(e)s du design sont reconnus comme un atout pour l’innovation et la créativité des entreprises québécoises (MÉIÉQ, 2011). De meilleures connaissances sur les caractéristiques de leur pratique aideraient à renforcer l’influence bénéfique du […]

The traditional way of making manganese chemicals for batteries causes large environmental problems in North America and the European Union because it uses harsh chemicals and creates a lot of pollution. The current methods only work well with oxide manganese ore, leaving the most abundant carbonate manganese unused and wasted. Our research is about finding […]

La construction est au croisement d’objectifs théoriques de performance et sa réalisation concrète. À partir de plus de 400 plans, devis et contrats entre 1820 et 1860 à Montréal, ce projet propose d’analyser le rôle de la construction et du patrimoine immobilier dans l’histoire sociale et économique. Ce volet complète un recherche sur l’amélioration des […]

Chronic pain and tinnitus (ringing in the ears) are among the most common health conditions found in veterans. They both can significantly impair the quality of life of veterans and likely interact. To better manage these conditions an application combining respiration exercises, called cardiac coherence exercises (CC), and sound therapy was developed. CC consists in […]

Psoriasis is an inflammatory chronic skin disease for which we skin models to study. Dr. Roxane Pouliot (academic supervisor) group at University Laval (Quebec) has previously developed a human psoriatic skin model using skin cells to which lymphocytes (from human blood) have been added. The goal of this project is to further optimize the skin […]

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

It has been estimated that approximately 70% of operators in automotive assembly use power-tools to complete their assembly tasks, yet companies have a difficult time determining why injuries happen when they are used. Before we can determine this, we need to understand the type of postures and the level of physical demand and the frequency […]

Rock engineering has usually relied on fracture intensity to measure how good or bad rock quality is. But this measure does not really capture how fractures in the rock connect and interact with each other, which is important. We propose using a different approach based on fracture connectivity instead. This looks at how fractures are […]
