Humic Land is a multi-purpose, 100% organic fertilizer that was produced from black peat using innovative technology that protects live soil microorganisms. It contains a microbial consortia that may produce plant-growth promoting substances, thereby acting as biological promotor of crops growing in stressful conditions. This research will evaluate three mechanisms that could explain Humic Land’s […]

The aim of this project is to improve the user experience of clients ordering online on one the portals of restaurants working with UEAT. This improvement will be in the form of smart recommendations based on the restaurant, time and the user themself. This will be done with an emphasis on respect for user privacy […]

Optimal trade execution is a well-known problem in quantitative finance. It helps financial actors who trade large quantities of a given asset minimize their risk and their adverse price impact. The problem’s complexity is multiplied when considering highly fragmented markets, such as those existing today for digital assets. The most recent advances in reinforcement learning […]

Finkl-Steel Sorel specialises in delivering high quality forged steel to a wide array of Canadian and international customers. In order to ensure the quality of their product, each forging is individually inspected for flaws and internal irregularities using standard pulse-echo technique. A reliable inspection technique is paramount to reduce the number of rejected forgings. Forged […]

Pulp and paper activated sludge is produced in large quantity and its safe disposal in the environment is a worldwide problem. The long-term goal of our research is to produce polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) or bioplastics using sludge as a source of microorganisms or as a raw material and waste materials as an extra carbon source. INRS […]

Au Québec, l’analyse d’un sol est basée sur des propriétés chimiques qui considèrent le pH, la matière organique et les éléments nutritifs. Cependant, pour assurer la productivité et la santé des sols à long terme, les propriétés physiques et biologiques devraient aussi être évaluées. L’objectif de ce projet est de fournir un modèle d’interprétation de […]

HIV prevention is a growing, and essential facet, of halting the HIV epidemic. Reducing the transmission of HIV and ensuring individuals are tested and put on antiretroviral therapy (ART) cannot effectively and efficiently be accomplished without decisions that are founded on high-quality evidence. Current projects focus on data availability and use among decision-makers and actors […]

Le projet vise à améliorer la caractérisation des habitats du saumon atlantique, une espèce de poisson dont la pêche sportive constitue une grande valeur économique pour les provinces de l’est du Canada. Dans un premier temps, des méthodes géomatiques à la fine pointe de la technologie seront utilisés pour produire une cartographie semi-automatisée, à jour, […]

Ce projet de recherche vise à identifier les facteurs susceptibles à expliquer les raisons sous-jacentes a la réussite, la persévérance et l’engagement des étudiantes et étudiants inscrits aux programmes de formation initiale en aérospatial. À l’aide d’un questionnaire en ligne basé sur des échelles motivationnelles, ce projet identifiera: (1) les raisons pouvant pousser les étudiants […]

SBB désire changer de procédé de soudage pour un de leurs produits. Ils veulent remplacer 3 soudures présentement effectuées à l’arc électrique, par des soudures par friction malaxage (FSW). Le soudage par friction malaxage est un procédé relativement nouveau qui utilise la friction générée par un outil en rotation pour mélanger l’interface de deux pièces […]

This research project aims to identify the defects in large steel blocks and remove them by providing a practical solution which causes to optimize the machining operations and improve the product quality. The solution will be found using simulations instead of expensive, time-consuming experiments, which are impossible to conduct in large blocks to recognize the […]

Neuromorphic computing is an approach to artificial intelligence (AI) that uses hardware elements inspired by the components of the brain and presents an alternative to the dominant von Neumann computing paradigm based on digital hardware. Recently, nano-scale devices known as memristors have been identified to offer area- and energy-efficient solutions when used in neuromorphic computing […]
