Le réseau électrique d’Hydro-Québec est protégé par un peu plus de 9000 disjoncteurs haute et moyenne tension. La maintenance des disjoncteurs est d’une importance absolue pour assurer leur fiabilité et leur longévité de service. Cependant, le réseau est vieillissant et une maintenance systématique n’est pas une solution optimale pour garantir leur fiabilité qui change avec […]

Every day, people put their teeth at risk by eating foods that contain a lot of sugar. A lack of brushing teeth causes the build-up of bacteria. The bacteria use the sugars present in these foods to cause the weakening of teeth and if left untreated, can lead to holes and cavities in teeth. The […]

Le partenaire industriel CONSOREM détient actuellement une base de données unique contenant plus de 250 analyses chimiques d’eau souterraine prélevée dans des forages d’exploration jusqu’à de grandes profondeurs (1150 m) en Abitibi. Les données ont permis de révéler l’existence d’empreintes géochimiques singulières dans l’eau souterraine, causées par la présence de la minéralisation. Les processus impliqués […]

Oats and faba beans, often wasted in current processing methods, can be transformed into valuable food products. This can increase their economic potential and lessen environmental impact. Our proposal breaks down crop residues into sugars and lignin. Sugars are fermented into single-cell protein, while lignin is converted into vanillin. This vanillin, combined with sugars, produces […]

A consequence of modern development of low-permeability (‘unconventional’) reservoirs using multi-fractured horizontal wells (MFHWs) is inter-well communication. Because inter-well communication can affect well performance for many wells, oil and gas operating companies are interested in the development of easy-to-implement, but effective, reservoir engineering methods for quantifying inter-well connectivity between MFHWs. Current methods for quantifying inter-well […]

robotic TMS coil holder will be developed with the primary objectives of being low-cost and providing a haptic interface for intuitive user manipulation. The key approach to achieving these goals is through reducing the system to the minimal components and working envelope. Frameless neuronavigation methods are capable of easily placing the coil within millimeters of […]

Sedimentary rocks undergo chemical and physical alteration as they are buried beneath Earth’s surface. Understanding these alteration processes is important in understanding the rocks potential as groundwater aquifers, in understanding the geohazards they may pose, and more. The Dawson Bay Formation is a 385-million-year-old limestone present across Saskatchewan that had a peculiar set of conditions […]

À l’été 2023, les municipalités du Bas-Saguenay Sud ont été affectées par des manifestations des changements climatiques. Dans ce contexte, la communauté de Petit-Saguenay souhaite interpeller les communautés environnantes à se joindre au processus de transition socioécologique (TSÉ) initiée à travers les Ateliers des savoirs partagés (ASP). Le but de cette démarche concertée sera d’accroître […]

In 2010, ERA Architects initiated the Culture of Outports program that explores the adaptive reuse of outport communities scattered along the coastline of Newfoundland and Labrador. Culture of Outports uses research, design, and planning to foster livable communities in Newfoundland’s historic outports. The project proposes that an understanding of the unique history and character of […]

Les travailleurs des ports sont des travailleurs à risques d’être exposés à différents types de poussières et de particules, différents gaz et vapeurs ainsi que différents contaminants de type physique comme le bruit. Certaines maladies professionnelles sont d’ailleurs associées à ce milieu de travail. Les stratégies d’évaluation des expositions professionnelles sont des démarches d’hygiène du […]

This project is focused on the design of patterned metallic claddings for transmissive electromagnetic metasurfaces. These are thin devices that are composed of sub-wavelength unit cells. Metasurfaces can synthesize electromagnetic radiation patterns; thus, they can offer various applications in wireless communications, satellite communications, electromagnetic imaging and remote sensing. The properties of their unit cells are […]

Nosebrush Corporation is a start-up innovation medical device group with a Scientific Inventor, CEO, CFO, and legal advisor. The scientific advisor is an Associate Professor at the University of Toronto and has independently worked on this device with association to the H2i Innovation Hub. Viruses linger in the nose before infecting the body. The team […]
