La gestion de projet ou de programme et la gestion du changement sont deux disciplines différentes en science de gestion observant chacune des approches qui leur sont propres. Pourtant, malgré leur différence, elles coexistent et la qualité de l’arrimage entre les professionnels des deux disciplines semble nécessaire pour avoir du succès. Aussi, nous intéressons-nous à […]

Finite element modelling (FEM) can be used enhance the understanding of physical testing results and will be applied to two distinct structural problems. The first problem will involve combined loading of concrete masonry walls, and the second problem will involve the performance of adhered stone veneer under wind loading. Combined compressive and out of plane […]

Le développement de méthodes durables de stockage de l’énergie est un élément essentiel de l’arsenal technologique que l’on se doit de mettre en place afin de lutter contre les changements climatiques et développer des sources d’énergie durables. Pour cela, les batteries, et plus particulièrement les batteries au lithium, sont des technologies incontournables. Néanmoins, les technologies […]

Ciena, the network specialist, is collaborating with Universities and SMEs in Ontario and Québec in order to develop an ecosystem that accelerates advanced research and development activities in the fields of high-capacity optical transmission systems, software defined networks, business intelligence and process automation. A steady-state of over 50 Masters, PhD and Post-Doc students per year, […]

Copper, a conductive metal, forms the basis of much of our manufacturing and electrical infrastructure. Yet, despite high demands for the metal, supply is not keeping pace. One of the chief reasons is that copper extraction faces steep technical challenges that have steadily pushed up capital expenditures. We propose to use a recent innovation called […]

Machine Vision (MV) is a technology that aims to translate visual data from images or videos into useful information for industrial processes. The use of MV in precision agriculture is currently expanding and has helped to accelerate and improve sorting, grading and yield estimation. The goal of this research project is to develop a MV […]

In this project, community pharmacists will help patients with type 2 diabetes to make dietary changes to reduce their consumption of carbohydrates while lowering or eliminating their need for costly diabetes medications. The results will help inform pharmacy practice and diabetes management and represent a novel treatment strategy placing pharmacists as key integrators of lifestyle […]

La fabrication additive par soudage ultrasons combine la soudure par ultrasons de métaux et l’usinage de ces derniers à l’intérieur du même appareil. Cette méthode de mise en œuvre est principalement présente dans les domaines de l’aéronautique, de l’aérospatiale, de l’automobile et de l’électronique. Il s’agit d’un type de soudure dit « à froid » […]

Au Québec, malgré les investissements massifs récents pour maintenir le réseau routier dans un état acceptable, nous faisons face à des conditions climatiques rigoureuses qui endommagent plus rapidement le réseau routier. En période hivernale, des interventions palliatives d’urgence sont nécessaires afin d’assurer la sécurité des usagers. Dans le but préserver « les actifs » de […]

Manufacturing system reliability is significant in modern industry that requires high speed and low cost in production. The proposed work is aiming to establish a systematic and applicable approach for machine condition monitoring and condition based maintenance with the help of large amount of data from the industrial internet of things. Deep learning, as an […]

In this project, carbon-based nano-materials were used not only to capture CO2, but also function as a nano-carrier platform to uptake the drugs and genes for cancer therapeutic applications. In other words, the main objective of this project is to tackle two major issues in our society: greenhouse gas emission and cancer.

A new film coating that can respond appropriately to different pH conditions of the stomach and small intestine (GI tract) was successfully prepared by combining pH-responsive nanoparticles with ethylcellulose polymer. However, the performance of the composite membrane has not been optimized for controlling drug release in the GI tract. Therefore, improvements are to be made […]
