Ce projet de recherche consiste à effectuer des études d’ingénierie pour permettre au SIT Maurice à développer et construire une nouvelle unité de valorisation et de recyclage des équipements de télécommunication. La remise en état des produits désuets et la récupération des métaux précieux sont les principales motivations pour ce projet. La réalisation de ce […]

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are known to have the ability to acquire large amounts of data from on-board devices such as sensors and cameras during flight. Majority of the data is typically stored on-board during a flight mission while a small amount of important data is transmitted to the Ground Control Station (GCS) over available […]

Evaluation is a key element to assure the high quality of programs. The Pre-Residency program is meant to prepare the international medical graduates to be at the same level as any locally trained Medical graduate in Canada for their specialty training rotations. In this project we are using an innovative engineering approach to conduct an […]

Different snowpack structures and weather conditions create distinct types of avalanche problems that require different risk mitigation practices. In North America, nine types of avalanche problems have been identified in the recently introduced Conceptual Model of Avalanche Hazard (CMAH). Avalanche Canada and Parks Canada forecasters have identified and assessed avalanche problems according to the CMAH […]

As a primary cancer progresses to the deadliest form, metastatic cancer, the cells undergo several genetic and epigenetic alterations referred to as the metastatic gene signature. Part of a metastatic gene signature is the downregulation of genes associated with immune recognition, which can be seen in multiple cancer types as the down regulation of the […]

Thermal insulation is an efficient way to reduce the loss of heat and decrease the energy consumption in buildings and houses. Polyurethane rigid foams are excellent materials for this purpose. Currently, polyurethane foams are produced from petrochemical feedstock. However, fossil fuel resources are non-renewable and are being depleted. In addition, their use contributes to the […]

Aircraft piston engines are widely used for aviation in North America and still use leaded fuel. 100 octane low-lead (100LL) aviation gasoline (avgas) is the common fuel used in aviation that contains lead in the form of Tetra-ethyl Lead (TEL). The TEL additive is mainly used to modulate the aviation gasoline octane levels to avoid […]

West 5 community in London, Ontario, will pursue high penetration of electric vehicles, and is exploring an innovative marketing program of including them with the sale of each new condominium unit. The primary objective of this project is to determine an economical approach to create an acceptable infrastructure for these electric vehicles that will be […]

Au Québec, le secteur des transports est responsable de 44,7 % des émissions totales de gaz à effet de serre (GES) en 2012 (MDDELCC, 2015). Le transport routier représente la source la plus importante de ces émissions avec presque 57 % des émissions totales (Environnement Canada, 2014). Les véhicules électriques deviennent alors un substitut important […]

La saisonnalité représente un des enjeux majeurs du tourisme hivernal. La transition entre l’automne et l’hiver et entre l’hiver et le printemps représente, pour plusieurs acteurs de l’industrie touristique de la région de Charlevoix, une problématique importante au niveau social et économique, et qui mérite d’être approfondie et étudiée. Ce faisant cette recherche permettra de […]

Sound barriers can be seen beside highways across Ontario and are designed to protect residents from the noise produced by traffic. However, these barriers do little in the way of protecting residents from the pollution produced by nearby vehicles. This project combines a novel sound barrier design with a new pollution control technology that will […]

Development of a field-ready and commercially useful fuselage and cargo bay for a long-range unmanned aerial vehicle, including analysis of use of composite materials and resulting performance implications.
