Emission of CO2 from industrial processes contributes to global warming. Numerous technologies have been proposed to reduce the amount of CO2 released to the environment. The C-3 process, in which ~50% of CO2 in flue gas can be captured using small water droplets, shows great promise for low-cost removal of CO2. Enviro Innovate, the owner […]

L’industrie de la construction est un secteur majeur au Québec puisqu’elle représente 12% du PIB et 1 emploi sur 20. Cependant, cette industrie est souvent confrontée au non-respect des délais et des coûts. Le mode traditionnel entraîne une fragmentation de communication et de coordination entre les parties prenantes. Or, la littérature démontre que le mode […]

In the backcountry, avalanche risk is managed by first assessing avalanche hazard and subsequently carefully choosing terrain and travel procedures accordingly to mitigate the identified hazard. What are suitable terrain choices under different types of avalanche conditions and how are choices made? With this project, we quantitatively examine large-scale terrain choices in two commercial backcountry […]

There have been many new operational drivers that require changes to the traditional training processes in small and medium companies, i.e. the advancement of technology, the mass retirement of the baby boomer generation, and the ever more dynamically-changing values of the web-generation workforce. Dealing with bridging the skill gaps may deem to uproot the company […]

This project aims to provide much needed evidence to non-profit organizations working with vulnerable children and their families in five inner city schools. The All in for Youth initiative is a collaboration of eight organizations offering integrated, multi-dimensional supports to improve academic outcomes and resiliency of vulnerable children, support family health and stability, get communities […]

L’os est le site de prédilection d’implantation des métastases de nombreux cancers, tels que le cancer du sein, et malheureusement l’environnement osseux rend l’accès aux traitements de chimiothérapie et de radiothérapie quasi-impossible. Par conséquent, plus de 50% des patients souffrant d’un cancer des os ne sont pas soulagés par les traitements antalgiques actuels. Nous proposons […]

The Nsyilxcn (Syilx Okanagan Interior Salish) language is critically endangered; fewer than fifty Elder speakers remain, no young people are learning at home and no effective school programs. Syilx people are highly invested in creating language opportunities, including teaching positions in schools, daycares, and adult programs, however no young speakers exist to staff them. Questions […]

Counts of birds passing a geographic location during migration to or from their breeding grounds are often used to estimate long-term population change. However, birds often stop at count sites for several days to fatten for their next migratory flight, affecting probability of detection. The migratory path followed might also vary among years. The influence […]

Les composites à renfort tridimensionnel sont de plus en plus utilisés dans l’industrie pour la fabrication de pièces à géométrie très complexe. Malgré l’avantage certain des composites 3D sur les laminés, son implémentation reste toutefois très complexe étant donné le peu de connaissances actuelles sur le comportement mécanique de tels matériaux. En effet, la méthode […]

Les végétaux produisent une variété de molécules bioactives en réponse à un stimulus externe (intensité lumineuse, prédation, pathogènes, conditions climatiques, etc.). Ainsi, nous croyons que la flore nordique du Québec regorge de substances bioactives inédites étant donné qu’elle subit des stress environnementaux qui sont uniques au monde. L’identification de nouveaux produits naturels bioactifs issus de […]

High-volume online stream processing, also known as fast data processing, is becoming increasingly important in a number of different commercial sectors. Unlike big data processing in which data is processed asynchronously in batches, fast data processing performs synchronous data analysis that generates actionable results within a specified deadline. One of the key challenges in building […]

The electric power grid in Canada provides energy to the country. In order to provide more reliable power, to include more clean energy and to supply energy to remote Canadian communities, part of the power grid may be required to operate autonomously. At the distribution level, microgrids, which can be isolated from the main grid, […]
