Development of optimized contact materials for interconnect layers in reversible solid oxide fuel cells for the conversion of CO2 and H2O to syngas

SeeO2 Energy has developed world-leading catalysts for reversible solid oxide fuel cell (RSOFC) systems with promising performance to produce syngas from H2O:CO2 feeds. The company has scaled-up the technology and has moved closer towards commercialization by building larger cells. However, assembling the RSOFC stack presents challenges due to issues associated with contact materials especially at […]

Graph Representation Learning for Drug Discovery

Traditionally, drug discovery is a long and costly process, which consists of many stages and on average takes a total of more than 10 years, because it screens huge amount of drug candidates by conducting chemical and biological experiments which are expensive and time consuming. This project aims to apply graph representation learning technologies to […]

Assessing the effects of neurofeedback through a comprehensive systematic review

Recently, principles gleaned from research on learning have been applied to change people’s brains. Specifically, there is evidence that how the brain communicates can be changed through the application of positive and negative reinforcement, a concept known as neurofeedback. Importantly, researchers claim that by changing how the brain communicates, neurofeedback can change behaviour and reduce […]

Les nouveaux contours de la demande dans le secteur de la restauration : exploration des changements de comportement des consommateurs après la crise de la COVID-19

La crise de la COVID-19 a frappé durement le secteur de la restauration au Québec. Les fermetures de salles et le télétravail ont conduit les consommateurs à adopter de nouvelles pratiques d’achat. En réponse, les restaurateurs ont adapté leurs offres et se tourner, notamment, vers la restauration livrée. La valeur que les consommateurs accordent à […]

An Investigation into Travel Demand Management Policies for Land Development

Single occupancy vehicle travel leading to congestion in urban areas is a significant problem. Congestion has numerous economic, social, and environmental impacts that negatively impact the prosperity and vitality of an urban area. One method for counteracting these negative impacts is known as travel demand management (TDM). TDM is a broad set of strategies that […]

Réduction du bruit dans la ventilation minière souterraine

Le bruit des ventilateurs est une problématique de santé et sécurité au travail importante. Ainsi, des mesures effectuées sur des ventilateurs installés dans des mines du Québec ont montré des niveaux de bruit supérieurs à 100 dB(A), ce qui peut entrainer des lésions auditives majeures. D’autre part, dans les mines, le bruit des ventilateurs peut […]

Minimization of Switching Power Converter Ripples in RF Power Amplifier Circuits

As the power processing density in new technologies such as 5G and 6G increases, reduction of ripples caused by switching power converter operation becomes a gradually more difficult design problem to solve. Analysis of these ripples and exploring various methods for the ripple reduction in the RF power amplifier circuits are the main topics for […]

Optimal building community operation using data-driven mixed-integer convex model predictive control

We propose a new approach to coordinate the energy consumption of the rooftop unit (RTU) heating, cooling, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system of commercial buildings within an aggregation, e.g., building or units of a shopping center. Our approach uses a new specialized solver for neural network-constrained integer programs to optimize the energy consumption while […]
