This project will investigate the timely problem of electrification of heavy-duty agricultural equipment and their various implements. Electrification of these critical pieces of equipment, either fully or partially, is poised to yield significant benefits such as improved efficiency, better reliability, and lower cost of operation. In order to design an electrified version of a complex […]

Over the past two years, the COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic has been the main global public concern affecting human health. A tremendous amount of personal protective equipment has been produced and used by the health service and every human. Hence, proper medical waste management becomes a critical problem which must be solved with a minimal environmental […]

The developed Nanobiosensor is based on electrospun nanofibres with a core-shell structure. The core of fibres is based on polyurethane, and the shell is based on polyurethane, polyvinylpyrrolidone, hemicyanine dye, surfactant and acid. The HCy dye (colorimetric probe) changes colour when bacteria secrete lipase. The lipase cleaves the ester bond of the HCy, and the […]

Offsite construction presents an alternative approach to traditional stick-built construction methods. This technique involves fabricating building components in an indoor offsite environment before transporting them to the construction site for installation. Offsite construction offers flexibility in terms of construction product types. In the manufacturing industry, the design-for-manufacture-and-assembly (DfMA) approach assesses the ease of assembly and […]

Oncoustics is a startup, focused on AI-based diagnostics and point-of-care ultrasound. Data collection and clinical partner site management are critical operations for Oncoustics as they play a pivotal role in ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the ultrasound data collected. Clinical operation management and the resulting data collected are essential for conducting meaningful clinical research […]

Dans le but de manufacturer est d.’amener un premier produit sur le marché, AWL-E cherche à développer un Rectificateur de courent, et l’intégrer au produit présentement en développement. Le but est d’améliorer […]

Nicotine is a highly addictive chemical and smoking is still, to this day, the leading cause of preventable death. Several pharmacological strategies have been approved for smoking cessation and nicotine addiction treatment. However, these strategies are not always effective and lead more often than not to relapse. Hence, new nicotine cessation products and devices are […]

Viridios désire innover dans le domaine des ingrédients pharmaceutiques actifs en développant une technologie de production industrielle par culture cellulaire végétale. Ceci afin d’extraire des ingrédients actifs spécifiquement et uniquement produits par la biomasse végétale. La technologie en développement par la Polytechnique permettra à Viridios d’offrir des ingrédients médicinaux aux compagnies pharmaceutiques. Viridios n’est pas […]

Les sols agricoles du Québec présentent des problèmes de compaction de plus en plus importants. Elle réduit la capacité de l’eau à s’infiltrer, ce qui provoque le manque d’oxygène aux plantes et des pertes de rendements. Ces problèmes engendrent également des conditions d’anaérobies dans les sols ce qui favorise la production de N2O un gaz […]

This project aims to understand plant-pollinator relationships and species diversity in Corner Brook Pulp and Paper (Kruger) managed forests; and determine how these relationships may change under continued climate warming.

Engineering organisations like Thales rely on large quantities of technical knowledge. When resolving a technical problem, for example, users have to follow a multi-step procedure in which the steps are described with various levels of detail, may not be up to date, or may not target the exact problem they are facing. Recent progress in […]

Attention is a key process to many daily tasks but it is characterized by limited resources. In many high-stake domains, operators must perform complex tasks for long durations, which deplete attentional resources and promote error making. Some studies have shown that neurostimulation can be used as a tool to improve cognitive abilities. Yet, studies investigating […]
