Due to chemical reactivity of components in new small modular reactor (SMR) fuel types, e.g., sodium, the federal nuclear regulator has identified spent SMR fuel as an R&D priority area. With multiple sodium fast reactors, including TerraPower’s Natrium reactor, and ARC Clean Technology Canada’s (ARC) ARC-100 reactor, planned for deployment in Canada within the next […]

Premièrement, le Canada est un cancre dans le financement de la recherche et de l’innovation. Le pays est à la traîne de tous ses pairs. Deuxièmement, lorsque le Canada innove, la propriété intellectuelle résultante disparait disproportionnellement à l’étranger. La recherche est donc financée par les contribuables, mais finit par subventionner indirectement les profits d’entreprises étrangères. […]

Ce projet vise à donner des expériences de stage appliqué dans le domaine de l’exploration/exploitation minière à des étudiants en géologie au niveau maîtrise. Ces stages seront accueillis par des compagnies d’exploration, d’exploitation ou de service basées au Canada à la recherche de différents types de minéralisation sur des propriétés minières dont le niveau de […]

The objective of the project is to conduct a comprehensive needs assessment of the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) population in Newfoundland and Labrador. While prevalence rates of ASD suggest that there are a large number of cases, the needs of this community are not well defined. Furthermore, we anticipate there will be significant differences in […]

According to Statistics Canada 2012, Arthritis is one of the most common chronic conditions affecting 4.4 million Canadians and 101.504 people in Newfoundland. It is also the most common cause of disability between the ages of 40 and 70 years. People with chronic arthritis have several numbers of other coexisting conditions such as high blood […]

Les relevés et l’analyse architecturale du monastère des Ursulines de Trois-Rivières visent à comprendre l’état des bâtiments actuels et leurs transformations historiques depuis 1699. Le travail inclut la modélisation de la transformation du site avec l’ajout, la transformation et la démolition de bâtiments pour une compréhension de l’évolution du monastère. La datation historique des murs, […]

The escalating predicament of electronic waste (e-waste) is a pervasive global concern, with the world generating more than 50 million metric tonnes of e-waste, and less than 20% undergoing global recycling. E-waste comprises diverse metallic and non-metallic constituents that possess the potential for re-utilization or recycling, thereby mitigating environmental pollution. In this project, in collaboration […]

Le cadastre est un registre public qui permet de représenter les propriétés foncières du Québec. Il joue un rôle important pour les propriétaires d’immeubles car en rendant les titres de propriété publics, il protège vos droits. Les normes actuelles de production et de diffusion des données cadastrales, régies par le gouvernement du Québec, sont strictes […]

Providing reliable and efficient services for electric vehicle (EV) users requires implementing cyber layers alongside the physical infrastructure within EV ecosystems. Nevertheless, the introduction of these cyber layers exposes these ecosystems to various cyber threats, including data manipulation, malware injection, and intrusions, strategically designed to disrupt power distribution networks. Building upon this, the proposal aims […]

The internships proposed here deal with the development of a physical prototype and efficient mathematical models of a modular multi-level converter (MMC). MMCs have attracted a great deal of attention as a promising technology for the new generation of high-voltage dc power transmission systems. Development of a physical laboratory prototype MMC is an essential step […]

Understanding the underlying factors that cause inherited diseases to develop is an important step in improving the health status of individuals, and identifying effective prevention and control measures. This project aims to apply fundamental know of genetics, genome sequence analysis, modeling and simulations, and bio-informatics to uncover the relationship between these factors and assess the […]

This project proposes the development of a comprehensive Portable Charging System (PCS) for Electric Vehicles (EVs) integrating Level III DC fast charging and wireless charging technologies. The system aims to enhance EV charging convenience and flexibility by providing a compact and portable solution for on-the-go charging. The Level III DC fast charging capability ensures rapid […]
