Nearly 20% of all piercings lead to local infection, and therefore, it is imperative to develop alternative and commercially-viable methods of piercing aftercare to prevent infection. The general objective of the proposed project is to optimize the design of drug-eluting bio-absorbable scaffolds for human and animal tissue piercing applications with a focus on multiple drug […]

The goal of the project is to develop, implement, and validate novel condition monitoring algorithms that can detect the onset of a failure through changes in behavior of the DC bus capacitors in motor drives with no additional sensors. This is an important research area as detecting the onset of a potential failure is of […]

Ce projet de recherche vise à tester des nouveaux modèles d’intégration des systèmes et de planification, de simulation, d’anticipation des opérations au sein de l’entreprise Sotrem-Maltech. Les retombées attendues sont de deux ordres : dans un premier temps l’entreprise bénéficiera d’une base d’information unique et partagée au sein des différents postes fonctionnels, dans un second […]

Athletes who regularly use relaxation strategies have been are better able to interpret stress and anxiety symptoms as beneficial to performance. Intentional breathing is a relaxation strategy that applies positive and quick effects on the body physiological and perceived stress response, such as reducing heart rate and anxiety. The goal of this study is to […]

Traditional drug development strategy is costly, tiresome, and labor-intensive. In the last decade, artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have shown promising results to overcome some of these limitations. However, these computational technologies still cannot efficiently generate novel drugs with expected properties for treating specific diseases. Here we will apply new generation of AI frameworks to design […]

The proposed project aims to develop simple thermal resistance network models using experimental and CFD data to predict the performance of conventional circular sectioned heat pipes and thermosyphons. Heat pipes are a type of enhanced heat transfer device that uses a continuous cycle of boiling and condensing of a fluid to transfer heat at a […]

This project proposes the use of carboxylated cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) – developed and manufactured by Anomera Inc. from Canadian forest – as nano-inclusions to tailor a set of properties in cement and concrete composites towards enhanced performance. Due to its unique properties, CNC can significantly enhance the mechanical performance of cement and concrete composites. The […]

Aircraft Pilot Coupling (APC) may arise when airframe structural modes encroach into the frequency range of human senses, biodynamics and control, which is becoming more relevant given the increasingly flexible and optimized airframes of next-generation aircraft. The phenomenon is characterized by oscillations sensed by the aircraft crew and passengers that negatively impact the ride quality. […]

Molecular imaging (MI) is a tool designed to help clinicians better understand disease, and potentiates effective clinical patient management through efficient diagnoses, patient stratification and monitoring of treatment response. As such, MI has a rapidly emerging role in the transition toward personalized medicine. One key enabler of MI are radioisotopes, many of which are produced […]

À ce jour, les modélisations d’impacts environnementaux du cycle de vie des briquets de poche démontrent que la phase de production des briquets de poche est celle qui a le plus d’impacts en raison des matières premières utilisées. D’autres paramètres peuvent également avoir une incidence importante sur les résultats, comme, le niveau de combustible encore […]

Mechanical wear and chemical corrosion are the two main dominant factors that limit the service life of industrial machinery. Wear and tear of tools and equipment are significantly intensifying due to the increasing demand for superior efficiency, productivity, and throughput of industrial apparatuses. Since the surface of the materials is more exposed to abrasive wear […]

Il s’agit d’identifier les besoins potentiels de services à proposer afin d’accroître son marché et son positionnenemt. Elle permettra à l’entreprise de décider d’engager ou pas le développement d’un pan de ses activités au Canada, à court terme. Cette étude est aussi une opportunité d’utilisation des outils de gestion de connaissance afin de mieux s’imprégner […]
