The main objective is to advance the knowledge of porcupine crab for the purpose of developing a commercial fishery in Canada, Nunavut, Newfoundland and Labrador and to develop a suite a value added crab products. The aim of the current study is to extract, quantify and characterize chitin and astaxanthin from porcupine crab shells as […]

Le Québec vit actuellement un manque criant de main-d’oeuvre. Pour atténuer cette crise, on commence de plus en plus à regarder du côté des bassins d’employés non traditionnels, notamment ceux éloignés du marché du travail. Or, ces personnes ne sont pas toujours équipées en termes de savoirs, savoir-faire et savoir-être pour intégrer durablement le marché […]

The human intestinal tract contains trillions of bacteria that greatly influence the way we absorb and use the nutrients in our food. In the context of obesity, the balance of this environment is impaired which could lead to the worsening of diseases related to obesity, such as type 2 diabetes. This highlights the need for […]

The inordinate carbon footprint of the precast concrete industry mainly originates from its raw material supply, predominantly cement. Besides, deficient design and detailing of the joints in precast structures result in their inherent poor seismic performance. Thus, it is crucial to investigate greener alternatives to raw materials along with innovative structural design in precast concrete […]

L’organisme Culture Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean (CSLSJ) compte implanter un outil numérique (Plateforme Numérique +), qui permettra de centraliser un ensemble de services et d’accès aux ressources pour le milieu artistique de la région. Afin d’effectuer une implantation réussie et de faire une évaluation des résultats, une équipe de recherche de Polytechnique observera et analysera la résistance au […]

This project will help determine the history and distribution of the volcanic rocks which hose important copper, gold and critical metal deposits in the so-called “Golden Triangle” of NW British Columbia. The interns involved will apply various methods to determine the age, chemical composition and distribution of the Jurassic age volcanic rocks of the Hazelton […]

A novel high temperature and high pressure materials test system, a so-called in-situ punch shear test cell, has been developed to qualify materials for reliable service in harsh environments representative of those typically encountered in oil and gas operations. Conventionally, materials are first exposed in harsh environments, then removed from the aging fluids for mechanical […]

Malgré la croissance technologique du domaine médical, les prothèses d’épaule n’ont connu que peu d’amélioration. Toutefois, installer une prothèse est complexe puisque l’ajustement de celle-ci aura un impact direct sur la mobilité et la douleur que le patient ressentira. Afin de maximiser le résultat, Stratera propose de concevoir une prothèse instrumentée permettant ainsi de mesurer […]

This project will explore the potential of agile geographic sensing technologies to support remote terrestrial platforms that are able to access unpaved wilderness environments. Laser scanning and photogrammetric survey systems will be tested to assess their capability to support real-time terrain navigation, spatial situational awareness,

Six million people in rural and Indigenous communities in Canada face water insecurity and associated risks to ecosystem functioning and biodiversity loss. Many of these communities could benefit from the implementation of nature-based solutions (NBCS). One challenge in the widespread implementation of these solutions is appropriate knowledge-sharing pathways, particularly in rural and Indigenous communities. This […]

Many problems in fashion originate from over consumerism and resulted in lower quality goods, poor working conditions, and detrimental impact to the planet. The fashion industry has recently shifted toward better environmental practices but focus has been on apparel because shoes are complex products. ARSHAE, located in Montréal, proposes an end-to-end solution that accounts for […]

Ce projet a pour objectif principal d’acquérir des données sur la consommation électrique des chargeurs pour véhicules électriques. L’acquisition de ces données se fera à l’aide de contrôleurs de charge déployés dans des immeubles à logements et en copropriété. Ces données serviront à améliorer le processus de gestion de la charge des véhicules électriques et […]
