Le Canada dénombre plus de 830 entreprises de serriculture maraîchère exploitant plus de 1500 hectares. La majorité des exploitations produisent la tomate, générant plusieurs tonnes de matières résiduelles de plastiques. Les types et les volumes de plastiques étant peu documentés, le potentiel de recyclage et de valorisation de ces gisements demeure obscur. Ce projet permettra […]

La production de biodiésel (et donc de glycérol) à partir des lipides devra être effectuée dans des usines de capacité relativement limitée, donc délocalisées. Une délocalisation similaire des usines de conversion du glycérol pourrait alors s’avérer avantageuse ce qui générerait la création d’activité économique nouvelle dans les régions qui comme le Québec ne bénéficient pas […]

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the airways in the lungs. The inner lining (epithelium) of the airways forms a protective barrier against harmful irritants. This lining is frequently injured but repairs itself quickly. In asthma, however, this barrier is dysfunctional and cannot repair itself when injured. This allows irritants into the airway […]

Prostate cancer is a prominent cause of death in Canada. A better understanding of how prostate tumours grow and respond to treatment is vital; however, typical lab methods used to study cancer have key limitations. To compensate for these shortcomings, computational models have revolutionized the study of cancer. This research proposes modifying an existing 3D […]

Fire-related events can result in substantial losses represented by injuries, fatalities, and structural damages. To protect Canadians, there is a real need to identify key risk factors that contribute to the frequency and severity of such events, and subsequently, devise mitigation strategies that prevent structural fire risks. The powerful combination of incident data sources and […]

Utilizing advanced tools for optimal planning of Microgrids with high renewable energy penetration. Our models would be robust to handle uncertainty in supply, demand and technological changes. The inputs to our model would be demand, supply data (meteorological data) and technological costs for the specified location for the past. Statistical analysis of the data would […]

Depuis les dernières années, différents modèles de réseaux de neurones furent développés afin d’améliorer l’apprentissage de connaissances, pour fin de recommandations et de répondre à des questions. Thales utilise présentement des modèles de Knowledge Graph Embedding (KGE) afin de créer des bases de connaissances de domaine techniques et faire ensuite des recommandations ou questions-réponses à […]

Dans un contexte de gestion de la santé des actifs industriels, l’apport de l’humain dans la détection et la prévention des problèmes est essentiel. Bien que les actifs soient de plus en plus surveillés par télémétrie, tout ne peut pas être détecté par ces mesures et une appréciation humaine reste importante. Une partie importante de […]

Through the Ontario Green Energy Act, solar manufacturing is rapidly growing in Ontario with S2E being involved in several new initiatives including a new lamination facility in London, Ontario. Several fundamental problems need to be addressed in the lamination procedure and materials required for photovoltaic (PV) panel construction. To increase panel efficiencies, this project will […]

In Canada, existing human rights laws are “read in” to collective agreements. Violations of those terms can thus be grieved and submitted to binding arbitration. Some key human rights cases began as union grievances. However, unions often refrain from active engagement in employment equity, diversity training and anti-bullying programs, especially where the interests of different […]

The world’s stringent need to transition to a low-carbon industrial economy is more pressing than ever and requires an ambitious departure from traditional processes through innovation, development and implementation of different breakthrough technologies within a strict timeline. Agora is tackling two energy challenges simultaneously with its proprietary CO2 Redox Flow Battery (CRB) technology by enabling […]

With the escalating global warming and its detrimental effect on the environment, there is an urgent need to reduce fossil fuel burning to curtail greenhouse gas emissions. Buildings are one of the large energy consumers and their contribution to the global greenhouse gas emissions needs to be reduced. Net Zero Energy Homes generate the energy […]
