Production oh high purity nano alumina from aluminous clay

High-purity nano alumina (HPA) has diverse applications in batteries, LED lights, semiconductors etc. In recent decades, several methods have been developed to produce highly reactive and pure alumina at nano scale. Amongst them, microwave (MW) assisted-based methods have been considered promising. The MW-assisted method can avoid the challenges of other methods by enhancing the energy […]

Documenter les dommages causés par la dérivation de la rivière Caniapiscau pour les Naskapis de Kawawachikamach: Un projet collaboratif melant analyse d’archives et entretiens ethnographiques

En 1985, la rivière Caniapiscau a été déviée pour la construction du Complexe hydroélectrique La Grande, créant ainsi le réservoir Caniapiscau. En vertu de l’article 6 de la Convention du Nord-Est québécois (1978), la Nation naskapie a renoncé à toutes réclamations concernant la construction, l’entretien et l’exploitation du Complexe La Grande. Cependant, la quittance n’englobe […]

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 […]
