Nowadays, the wire arc additive manufacturing is making its path toward providing benefits to aerospace, defense, and oil and gas sectors, ascribed to the process capacity to fabricate components with minimum waste of material and lead time. However, the main challenges associated with the WAAM that have hindered the wide-spread application of the technology include […]

Solar energy generation at commercial and industrial sites has been gaining popularity in recent years. The addition of batteries to existing solar installations can allow for solar to not only be used during the day when the sun is out, but also at night. There however, are various hurdles to this process specifically involving the […]

Mass spectrometry is a known for its capacity of detection of sample material with high sensitivity paired with high resolution and accuracy. Developing a “sniffing line” that would provide point-of-measurement capabilities for direct analysis of particulates on various surfaces is a necessary and novel method that will influence the mass spectrometry technique. Referred to as […]

ShowUp is a new product by Dovico that provides teammates the opportunity to improve their workplace culture. The evaluation is conducted with the help of a questionnaire. Dovico aims to use the results of these questionnaires in a machine learning setting to predict innovative culture in teams and organizations.

Thales développe un logiciel pouvant gérer les activités de projet en réfection de navires militaires. En particulier, ce logiciel permet d’ordonnancer les différentes tâches à accomplir, c’est-à-dire les positionner sur une ligne du temps. L’ordonnancement produit doit tenir compte de la disponibilité des ressources (main-d’œuvre, équipements, espaces de travail) tout en minimisant les heures supplémentaires […]

Hudson Boat Works in London, Ontario is the only company in Canada that manufactures highperformance rowing shells. Hudson wishes to employ finite element techniques to optimize the design of their rowing shells and associated structures using advanced engineering techniques. Optimization of composite materials design requires a detailed understanding of their mechanical response, including how they […]

Solid-state nanopores are tiny holes in thin membranes comparable to the size of individual biomolecules like protein or DNA. They are using as sensors to detect these molecules one at a time, and have the potential to revolutionize DNA sequencing, personalized medicine, point-of-care diagnostics, and next-generation information storage methods, but have not been able to […]

Implementation of alternative fuel technologies for public transportation modes stems from increasing environmental concerns, technological improvements, and increasing demand for autonomous transportation, which is well exhibited by recent trends to replace diesel buses with battery electric buses (e-bus). Yet, scheduling and operational planning of electric vehicle (EV)-based transit modes is challenging due to additional considerations […]

Avionics on modern aircraft are becoming complex computer systems supported by increasingly sophisticated software. These systems often require software upgrades that are performed during aircraft maintenance on the ground. In order to ensure the integrity of software upgrades and database updates, digital signature of the corresponding data files has been used as means to prevent […]

While the use of specific drugs including cannabis cocaine, ecstasy, and heroin by youth 15-24 in Canada decreased in 2011 (Health Canada), the rate of drug use by youth 15-24 years of age remains much higher compared to that of adults 25 years and older. (Health Canada). Early intervention and education for youth has been […]

We want to determine the relationship between weather such as rainfall and temperature on outdoor grown hemp. Specifically what these variables do in terms of changing the content of THC and CBD in certain varieties of hemp. Our goal is to give farmers the knowledge so that they can determine when is optimal time to […]

Le mouvement communautaire autonome a été au cœur de la réponse gouvernementale durant la pandémie de la COVID-19. Que ce soit pour répondre aux besoins des personnes en situation d’itinérance, d’assurer la sécurité des femmes victimes de violences conjugales ou encore pour assurer la sécurité alimentaire des personnes affectées par des pertes d’emploi, les organismes […]
