Les bières faibles en alcool ont souvent un goût de moût résiduel. Ce goût est causé par certains aldéhydes; des molécules qui proviennent du brassage de la bière et du touraillage du grain. Heureusement, durant la fermentation, ces aldéhydes peuvent être transformés en molécules aux arômes agréables. Ce projet s’intéresse aux différents facteurs qui peuvent […]

This SEF/MITACS proposal seeks to develop a curriculum about mining and local economic development. The content of the curriculum is divided into two main parts: a) mining life cycle and its phases and b) the opportunities that mining activities can create to local communities. The ultimate goal in developing this curriculum is to create a […]

This research project aims to determine how small and medium-sized businesses can use data intelligence software to improve reporting on their environmental footprint. The number of companies choosing to transparently report on their entire environmental and societal impacts have been increasing, including smaller businesses. As larger companies and corporates have been experimenting on the best […]

Prefabricated construction, as an alternative to the traditional stick-built construction, has its advantages in shortening the schedules and reduce onsite construction exposure. The prefabricated construction components are often produced in offsite controlled environment and shipped to site for installation. Due to its similarity to manufacturing, prefabricated construction provides opportunities for continuous productivity improvements. Through such […]

Worksport has recently launched TerraVis®, a photovoltaic (PV), folding tonneau cover, that stores solar energy into a bed-mounted Lithium batteries. The solar tonneau cover will incorporate high-efficiency monocrystalline solar panels whose cells are modular, so any dead ones can be swapped out. A battery bank installed in the bed will house modular Li-ion batteries that […]

Aging and degradation of infrastructures pose significant safety concerns, especially in light of increased use of these structures. The economic downturn further exacerbates such concerns, especially for critical structures such as bridges, where replacement is infeasible, and maintenance and repair are expensive. The significance of implementing long-term structural health monitoring systems for large-scale bridges, in […]

Le saule à croissance rapide (SCR) est une plante pérenne qui est depuis récemment exploitée comme source bioénergétique au Québec et elle commence à connaitre une certaine notoriété en phytoremédiation grâce à sa capacité à décontaminer les polluants des terrains sur lesquels elle est implantée. Cependant, comme les plantations de SCR deviennent de plus en […]

Due to the fast mobility of LEO satellites, ground users need to switch between LEO satellites frequently to keep the connection with the satellite network. The process of switching between satellites is called the handover process. Every handover process is associated with signalling overhead, processing delays, and data packet losses. The optimization of the handover […]

The partner organization Croesus aims to provide its customers with a software solution for providing a natural language explanation of fluctuations in investment returns. The proposed research project offers an artificial intelligence-based solution which would provide such an explanation by summarizing financial documents in a way that answers the user’s question. An example of such […]

This project is aimed at understanding evaluating and reviewing gene therapy methodologies used in products in development, assessing the risk and safety and regulatory investigations in different regions of the world. There is limited guidance and regulatory expertise in this area and current drug candidates are being dealt with on a case-by-case basis by the […]

La télévision numérique par câble est un système de distribution de programmes de télévision aux abonnés par des câbles coaxiaux ou à fibre optique. Traditionnellement, toutes les chaînes demandées par les groupes de services sont envoyés à chacun des clients à tout moment, même sila plupart d’entre eux ne sont pas accédés. Le système DVC […]

Generation and transmission of ultra-large amounts of energy from renewable resources, such as wind and solar PV power, is on the rise globally. This has unprecedented implication on the operation of modern power systems, including challenges with the natural intermittency of renewables resources, stability, and security of the system following naturally occurring abnormalities. This project […]
