This project brings together university researchers, a Collegial Center for Technology Transfer – CCTT (Merinov), two young companies working in the sector of IT management tools (EOS Nation and reelyActive) and a Non-For-Profit Organization (Cercle-i) in order to address important research and development challenges facing the Seafood Supply Chain of the Gaspésie and Magdalen Islands […]

Osmotic power or salinity gradient energy is one type of the renewable energies which is produced by mixing fresh water with salt water. This new environmental friendly energy based on the advantages such as carbon dioxide free and generating power continuously seems to be a good option in which to invest as it will be […]

Exploration of other planetary bodies poses multiple challenges. Notably, how can we obtain the most information about a planet or a moon while avoiding risky and costly crewed or robotic missions to the surface? Satellite imagery can partly solve this problematic by providing a relatively cheap alternative to cover massive areas of a planet. Sounds […]

Vacuum residue (VR) is the heaviest part of crude oil accounting for a large proportion in modern refineries, while its utilization routes are generally of low efficiency and high energy intensity, and thus economically and environmentally unfavorable. Similarly, bitumen recovered from Steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) process experiences high viscosity and density as well as high […]

This research project is aimed at the development and experimental validation of a new generation of cast steel replaceable yielding links for use in steel eccentrically braced frames (EBF). The cast steel links can be used to make EBF more resilient than the conventional links. Through the collaboration with the industry partner, CastConnex, in the […]

There has been an increased commitment to capping GHG emissions from oil/gas (O/G) operations. However, reliable monitoring and quantification of methane emissions from particular sources are difficult for several reasons: (1) high-resolution sampling data over an extensive geographical area is rare; (2) identifying emission sources from large-scale monitoring satellite data is extremely challenging, often yielding […]

Cheekbone Beauty Inc. is an Indigenous Canadian-owned beauty company with a mission to transform the lives of all its consumers through sustainable products and business innovation. The proposed project involves repurposing wine-making waste (grape pomace) from local Niagara Region wineries into high-value added ingredients with anti-aging, anti-pollution, and sun protection properties, for cosmetic applications. This […]

La propulsion hybride-électrique a le potentiel de réduire la consommation en carburant des aéronefs et constitue une alternative plus réaliste par rapport à l’option tout électrique. Avec l’utilisation de sources d’énergies différentes, le processus de dimensionnement est complexifié et couplé à l’opération de l’aéronef. Cela nécessite alors une approche d’exploration par analyse de mission et […]

The Canadian steel industry experiences fierce global competition. It is also under an increasing pressure to decrease its environmental foot-print. Continuous process optimization is, therefore, necessary for a sustainable operation. To produce high quality steel and concurrently reduce costs, trial and error cannot be effective. This proposal aims to advance the knowledge of electric arc […]

Quantum Random Number Generation (QRNG) is a promising technology to provide true randomness as a service for many computing uses, such as cryptography. The company Quantum eMotion develops an affordable product called QNG2 which offers quantum random number generation in a compact device (i.e., PCIe card) which can easily be used in any standard PC […]

Cette étude vise à déterminer le niveau de performance du jardin de pluie aménagé dans les conditions du climat nordique. Les résultats du suivi expérimental qui seront obtenus devront permettre de mettre en évidence les points forts et faibles du système implanté à Longueuil, afin d’en améliorer le fonctionnement en climat froid aussi bien en […]

Gamification is the process of adding game elements to something in an effort to encourage participation and increase engagement. It has been used throughout multiple sectors and industries for the last decade and has been proven to have a positive impact on user engagement and enjoyment. Through this increased engagement, gamification is able to provide […]
