The research project will focus on understanding how delays in different activities affect the overall time and cost of a project. Specifically, it will look at critical activities, which are essential for completing the project on time, and non-critical activities, which have some flexibility in their timing without affecting the project’s completion date. By studying […]

Le secteur agricole génère de nombreux types de plastiques résiduels selon leurs utilisations. Au Québec, un total d’environ 11 000 tonnes de plastiques agricoles sont générés chaque année, mais environ 50% se retrouve au Centre-du-Québec et ses régions voisines. L’objectif principal de ce projet est de développer des applications pour réutiliser les plastiques agricoles après […]

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men. Radical prostatectomy (RP) is a common treatment for this cancer, and after surgery, patients are still considered at risk. It’s important to accurately identify high risk patients after RP in order to reduce risk through further treatments. The genomic classifier (GC) DecipherTM, a product of GenomeDx […]

This research project is centered around enhancing the delivery process of ice stored in tanks, particularly focusing on ice slurry, a mixture of small ice crystals suspended in a liquid phase. Typically, these slurries are created from solutions like saltwater (NaCl). The primary objective is to optimize the methods for extracting the stored ice from […]

Le présent projet de recherche porte sur l’étude de la distribution de contaminants émergents, soit les substances per- et poly-fluoroalkylées (SPFA, ou PFAS en anglais), dans les plantes, plus particulièrement les saules à croissance rapide, lorsqu’irrigués avec des eaux contaminées ou du lixiviat de lieux d’enfouissement. Les PFAS sont une famille de composés chimiques synthétiques […]

LoopX plans to have their intern develop a virtual testing platform in a simulated software program, where the robots mining vehicles with the autonomous driving algorithms that are meant to drive in mines can be put through their paces. These robot mining vehicles are expected to handle complex mining-specific situations, but mines are tricky places […]

The proposed project for carbon footprint analysis of concrete block will benefit the community. Demand on concrete blocks is increasing dramatically and such massive production of these blocks contributes to an estimated 5% of Carbon emission of total carbon present in atmosphere. Thus, this analysis will help understanding and subsequently reducing carbon footprint of concrete […]

Les compagnies de cirque au Canada innovent en intégrant des technologies numériques comme la capture de mouvement dans leurs spectacles, créant ainsi des expériences virtuelles et hybrides. Toutefois, les systèmes de capture actuels avec marqueurs ne sont pas adaptés aux performances acrobatiques. Le projet vise donc à tester différents modèles d’estimation de mouvement pour trouver […]

Metafor is developing a new class of IT system management solution to monitor computer and application activities, and alert when anomalous behavior occurs. Current commercial tools for anomaly detection use simple statistical rules and thresholds to detect anomalies. These methods are failing for today’s dynamic cloud environment where change is constant. As a result, IT […]

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

Le projet de recherche consiste à développer un outil d’aide à la décision qui permettra à Thomas & Betts d’optimiser l’emplacement des produits dans deux zones à taux de roulement élevé de son centre de distribution de Bromont. L’outil permettra de minimiser les temps de prélèvement des vagues sur une période donnée ou encore d’optimiser […]

The Georgian Bay Geopark is tasked with promoting and conserving the unique geological heritage of an important Canadian landscape, created over 2.5 billion years of geologic and environmental change. It is now in the process of being recognized by UNESCO as a Global Geopark on account of its international significance. This project investigates one of […]
