En partenariat avec la Chaire de Recherche Industrielle en Environnement et Biotechnologie (CRIEB) de l’UQTR, Papiers C.C.T a entrepris un programme de recherche sur les colles auto-collant respirantes pour les anciennes membranes d’étanchéité. Ce projet permettra de donner une deuxième vie aux anciennes membranes qui sont sur le point de disparaitre au profit des nouvelles […]

The proposed research intends to understand how two organizationally-situated teams perceive and process the information that affects collective decision making. Considering that the nature of the decision making process is also inseparable from cultural influences, it is additionally important to understand such habitual aspects. Of further interest is the role of Information and Communication Technologies […]

The proposed research is aimed at both understanding and improving the flotation equipment design through the development and application of comprehensive multiphysics platform, which has the potential to create more accurate, fundamental basis for modeling, optimization, and scale-up of industrial flotation processes, based on physics rather than empirics and intuition. The objective of this research […]

In recent years, the small-scale drones have gained a growing interest in industry and in academia since they are widely available and have many potential applications. The integration of intelligent camera into drone systems broadens the range of potential drone applications and enhances the performance of the drone. However, how to design and implement the […]

The goal of this research project is the detailed design and optimization of a series of 10 Yielding Brace System (YBS) connectors that will eventually be made commercially available as a higher performance, earthquake resistant building system. The intern will design and optimize each connector, focusing on both the local behaviour of the device, through […]

This project is geared towards the development of a cost-effective method to fabricate thin films of carbon materials, such as diamond. The idea is to use solution-based methods coupled to electrochemistry to produce the films. Avenues for the deposition of the film on surfaces of arbitrary shapes will also be explored. Carbon based thin films, […]

Waste heat boilers provide an important function in many industries, taking hot process flows and cooling them down while at the same time creating valuable steam which can be used to save power in other parts of the plant. This project will use Computational Multiphysics Simulations (CMS) to model the inner workings of these important […]

Le methane (CH 4) est un gaz a effet de serre puissant dont les sources sont multiples, incluant les tourbieres, les lacs et les eaux usees. Les etudes montrent que les flux de CH4 sont tres variables dans l’espace et dans le temps, mais les donnees sont encore fragmentaires. Ce manque d’information limite notre capacite […]

European colonization and industrial development have profoundly transformed the forested landscapes of north-eastern North America. Consequently, historical forest characteristics, such as forests prior to settlement and industrial exploitation (i.e. the presettlement forests), serve as a model for developing a sustainable forest management. In this project, we aim to reconstruct long-term changes in forest landscapes of […]

Le tube à vortex est un dispositif permettant de générer un jet d’air chaud et un jet d’air très froid à partir d’air comprimé. Bien que le comportement du tube soit encore mal compris et que l’efficacité est faible, les tubes à vortex sont tout de même utilisé actuellement dans plusieurs application à basse température, […]

In recent years, face recognition algorithms based on deep neural networks have achieved human-level performance when tested on face recognition database. However, when put into real-world application, those algorithms are not robust enough, due to factors such as different lighting conditions, camera distance, and face orientations. In this project, the university team and the partner […]

Bombardier started a few years ago the development of new architectures for aircraft control systems in a of a larger Internal R&D activity named XDIMA: Highly Integrated Control Systems on Distributed Integrated Modular Architecture. The main hurtle along this activity has been the increase in complexity which requires changes of best engineering practice. One of […]
