Recent improvements in Cloud Accounting software have reduced the demand for data entry and challenging analysis. However, industry has not totally adopted these new resources and many still use traditional accounting and bookkeeping methods, which require a lot of manual efforts. Paperless system has seen improved accuracy and speed of delivery. With the advance of […]

The main duty of Hydro-Quebec is to respond efficiently to the energy demands of customers, in a safe way while remaining competitive in the markets as well. In a changing energy context, the production of solar photovoltaic energy represents a new challenge for Hydro-Quebec, which will have to integrate and to balance this intermittent resource […]

The certification of food products, their authenticity and origins has become a growing priority amongst consumers and producers. The differentiation of the different Canadian maple groves necessitates the development and implementation of forensic tools to link maple syrups to their corresponding terroir. Strontium (Sr) isotopes have shown to reflect the local geological conditions of the […]

Canada’s pulp and paper sector remains a vital economic engine, particularly for smaller communities. Large volumes of waste residuals, originating primarily from forest biomass and natural minerals, are still landfilled. Research has shown that application of these residues benefits agricultural land and forests, and promotes tree and plant growth in land that has lost its […]

Mavi Innovations is pursuing a prototype demonstration of its 20kW hydrokinetic turbine for generating electricity from river and tidal currents in Fall 2013. Demonstration of this new system includes the development of a control system to govern turbine operation, and of the power electronics to manage generated power and provide electricity to the grid. The […]

In the last few years, a high increase in the interest of traders and investors towards financial instruments directly led to an important augmentation of the information received daily by exchanges. Exchange regulators, who constantly monitor markets to unveil potential infractions, traditionally perform their investigation manually and the notable growth in market activity represents an […]

This project explores methods of engagement and communication that bridge the science, public and policy gap in respect of the nuclear ecology: medicine, mining, and meeting climate change commitments (through nuclear energy small modular reactors (SMRs)). Saskatchewan, the home of uranium mining and where scientists helped develop the world’s first cobalt-60 nuclear medicine scanning machines, […]

Le prajet consiste a extraire, a partir d’un tres grand volume de courriels, un vocabulaire structure qui pourra etre mis a profit pour l’elaboration d’une politique de retention et de controle. Plus precisement, des methodes seront developpees pour l’extraction d’un ensemble de termes pertinents puis, dans un deuxieme temps, l’ensemble des relations pertinentes dans lesquelles […]

The use of aluminum alloys in automotive applications is increasing since the weight of the vehicle can be decreased. This is beneficial for both internal combustion and battery powered vehicles, to increase fuel economy and increase vehicle range, respectively. However, in general, aluminum alloys are more difficult to form and their performance during a vehicle […]

Recent research studies have pointed to sleeping on the back in late pregnancy as possibly increasing the risk of serious problems pregnancy such as low birth weight and delivering a baby that died in the womb (stillbirth). However, because it is impossible to completely and accurately recollect one’s body position while sleeping, these studies are […]

Electrified vehicles (EV), which include hybrid, battery, plug-in, and fuel cell technologies, will be critical in helping lower emissions, reduce fossil fuel usage, and help mitigate climate change. The next generation of EVs will require significantly improved powertrains, components, and associated control technologies. The proposed project will research and develop components, architectures, and systems that […]

The integrity and performance of hydraulic components in the maritime sector may be altered due to extreme environmental conditions that result in wear and corrosion. The industry in Canada spends around $0.92B per annum for maintenance (around 69% of GDP) to improve component service life. Therefore, materials that can sustain high life during extreme operating […]
