Les producteurs de turbines hydroélectriques optimisent sans cesse leurs équipements pour des raisons concurrentiels, économiques et environnementales. C’est le cas des turbines hydroélectrique qui sont poussé à la limite de leur spécification pour répondre aux besoins du marché. Cette réalité augmente considérablement les risques de défaillance des composantes de la turbine. Estimer le niveau de […]

In my project, I aim to shed light on how the construction of modern nation state in Iran resulted in the environmental marginalization of the indigenous population across the country. The modern state in Iran, I contend, is a product of annexation and plundering of the resources and lands of indigenous populations and minority groups […]

The focus of this research project is possibilities of increasing the capacity of overhead power transmission conductors using Carbon Nanotubes (CNT). Current constraints to existing transmission conductors include: (i) high resistivity of the reinforcing steel strands; (ii) energy loss in the form of heat generated from this inefficiency; and (iii) and thermal expansion and increases […]

Les modalités dont les sociétés parviennent à gérer les ressources naturelles varient d’un pays à l’autre et entre les territoires qui les conforment. Ce projet porte sur une analyse comparative des arrangements institutionnels mis en œuvre par deux fédérations, comme l’Argentine et le Canada, a fin d’administrer leurs ressources en eau. À partir de l’étude […]

There is an increasing interest in applications of machine learning to solve mining and geotechnical problems; this is made easier thanks to user-friendly and open source machine learning codes and improved computational power. The benefit of incorporating machine learning in rock engineering design are apparent, including the reduction in the time required to sort and […]

Through analysis of vegetation data collected between 1991 and 2021 in Long Point National Wildlife Area, it is the goal of the research to identify trends and changes in sand dune vegetation communities following a reduction of white-tailed deer browsing pressure. By evaluating the rate and level of change in vegetation diversity, structure, and composition, […]

Dans l’est du Canada, la gestion durable des forêts de feuillus et des peuplements de bois mixtes passe, entre autres, par l’implémentation d’une sylviculture de précision. En effet, dans ce type de peuplement, l’identification des tiges de haute valeur marchande et de celles à conserver est un élément primordial tant au niveau économique qu’au niveau […]

Metals extraction is essential to society and to Québec’s economy, and gold is one of the main economic substance that the Province in renowned for. Gold mineralization is formed by processes involving hydrothermal fluids and these processes are not fully understood. For example, the source of the fluids, copper and gold are still hotly debated, […]

Pour établir ses plans de production, la Direction Planification de la Production compte sur des mesures de qualité. Pour se faire, elle dispose d’une équipe qui s’assure de la validité des données de mesures et qui en effectue la correction, s’il y a lieu, et ce, quotidiennement. D’après les statistiques effectuées sur le travail de […]

The research will look at how the Thisforest program advances the proposed traceability of timber, to provide a value-add to relevant industry stakeholders, including members of BC Wood and the BC Log & Timber Building Industry Association. The determination needed concerns the social and contextual value-added from forest traceability and how same will create revenue […]

Electric power is almost entirely transmitted through polymer insulated cables or wires in every home, factory, plant, or apparatus. If the temperature of a cable increases, it would be an indication that some accidents or malfunctions such as inflow of excess electric current occur in the cable. The generated heat, indeed, degrades the polymer insulations […]
