There is an ongoing industry challenge to continuously improve gas turbine engine efficiency, decrease fuel consumption, and reduce emissions. Addressing these concerns involves developing advanced architectures, airfoil features, and innovative materials to improve performance, with a key focus on abradable coatings. These coatings play a crucial role in improving turbomachinery performance by acting as a […]

Le projet vise à réduire le temps consacré à administrer l’information produite lors de réunions en utilisant l’intelligence artificielle pour générer des artéfacts de réunions pertinents pour des utilisateurs. Des algorithmes intelligents permettront la production automatique de transcriptions et de résumés des réunions en plus de supporter des recherches thématiques dans l’enregistrement audio de réunion […]

Measurement of trace-levels of dissolved oxygen (DO) is critical to manufacturing processes such as in semiconductor production. Electrochemical sensors are a mature technology for measuring DO, with the classic sensor pairing a silver (Ag) with a lead (Pb) anode. Emerging international regulations that ban the use of Pb due to environmental concerns threaten the continued […]

Arrowhead is partnering with the SAIT Centre for CERCUTS research group to develop a novel process that takes produced/waste water (PW) for the production of clean, fresh water and hydrogen using new generation Electrodialysis (ED) technology. This proposed research project aims to design, build and test a process skid incorporating a pretreatment system to remove […]

Mutations in the enzyme glucocerebrosidase (GBA1) are the most common genetic risk factor for development of Parkinson’s disease (PD). PD is characterized by the buildup of abnormal protein deposits in the brain, followed by progressive loss of neurons and behavioural symptoms. Numerous studies have noted a correlation between reduced GBA1 activity and increased levels of […]

The research project involves studying how extracts from sea cucumbers can be used in skin care products. Sea cucumbers are marine animals known for containing natural substances that might be beneficial for skin health, like slowing down skin aging or lightening skin tone. The project has two main goals: first, to make sure these sea […]

Predictive Fire Incident Risk Scoring System aims to develop a comprehensive risk assessment tool tailored to urban neighborhoods. Utilizing a combination of Census data, historical fire incident records, building structures, and expert knowledge, the project seeks to create a predictive risk scoring system capable of quantifying the overall fire incident risk level for each neighborhood. […]

La qualité de l’air est un enjeu environnemental majeur qui affecte la santé de milliers de citoyens – un enjeu particulièrement marqué dans la Ville de Québec. La mise en place du Groupe de travail sur les contaminants atmosphériques (GTCA) par le Ministère de l’Environnement, de la Lutte contre les changements climatiques, de la Faune […]

The research centers around the feasibility study of a method to detect faulty outdoor insulators and to classify the type of defects within the insulator. Every different type of defect results in a specific electromagnetic Signature that can be acquired using an antenna and oscilloscope. Using these Signatures some specific features (eg statistical or spectral […]

Human land use generates water pollution. Watershed managers use various tools to reduce pollution from human land uses. These tools include funding new fertilizer application equipment that reduces losses of pollutants from agricultural fields, and funding the construction of rain gardens and stormwater ponds in urban areas to reduce runoff. These tools all have costs […]

Les techniques courantes d’identification bactérienne nécessitent la mise en culture des échantillons dans des laboratoires spécialisés, une étape qui introduit des délais pouvant aller jusqu’à 48 heures ouvrables. En complexifiant la gestion des bactéries pathogènes, ces délais imposent un lourd fardeau dans de nombreux secteurs essentiels, tels la production agroalimentaire, le traitement des eaux potables […]

Myringotomy is a surgical procedure in which a small incision is made in the eardrum and a ventilation tube is placed in it to treat ear infections. The procedure is difficult to teach because it is one of the first operations that surgical residents in Otolaryngology learn. Moreover, the traditional apprenticeship training approach only allows […]
