Graphene is considered a strategic nanomaterial for the development of clean technologies due to its unique properties. According to Allied Market Research, the global graphene market was valued at US $91.3 million in 2019, and is projected to grow to US $1.4 billion by 2027 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 40.2% from […]

The rate of discovery of new, large mineral deposits has slowed, yet significant opportunity exists in many world-class belts where post-mineral cover obscures bedrock and can potentially hide world-class deposits beyond the reach of traditional geochemical tools. However, locating mineral deposits in areas of thick or transported overburden is challenging. The proposed research integrates trace-element […]

Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries have been considered as one of the most promising candidates to meet the energy storage demand for electric vehicles due to their high theoretical energy density of 2600 Wh kg-1, low cost, natural abundance, environmental friendliness. State-of-the-art Li-S batteries, using liquid electrolytes, still have significant challenges in their safety and lifespan. Accordingly, […]

Le projet a pour objet l’étude des conséquences de la pandémie sur la garantie des droits économiques, sociaux et culturels des migrants en situation de mobilité, volontaire ou contrainte, pour des motifs économiques ou des considérations d’ordre humanitaire. Le contexte d’urgence sanitaire à l’échelle mondiale a conduit de nombreux gouvernements à adopter des mesures d’exception. […]

À l’échelle mondiale, le nombre de personne atteintes de désordres métaboliques associés à l’obésité ne cesse de progresser malgré les traitements disponibles. En parallèle, les industries agroalimentaires au Québec cherchent à valoriser des composés résiduels issus de leur production dont les propriétés thérapeutiques restent souvent inexploitées. Par conséquent, l’objectif de ce projet, en partenariat avec […]

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) can be divided into three clinical phenotypes: relapsing remitting (RRMS), secondary progressive (SPMS) and primary progressive (PPMS). RRMS is characterized by episodic worsening followed by full or partial recovery, whereas SPMS and PPMS are characterized by steady accrual of disability. Progressive MS remains poorly understood and generally fails to respond to therapies […]

Large amounts of sewage sludge (SS) have been generated yearly by municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWPs), which entail huge operational expenses and advanced treatments, and the final disposal of biosolids in agricultural applications is reduced because of the potential environmental risks (e.g., heavy metals and emerging contaminants) associated with biosolids applications. The increased use of […]

Thermal stress analysis of the buried pipeline is an integral part of pipeline design and integrity analysis. Pipeline design code (e.g. CSA Z662) provides guidance on the thermal stress analysis of restrained and unrestrained pipe sections. However, a buried pipeline bend is more likely to be partially restrained, as the pipe is free to expand […]
