Dans le contexte actuel de changements climatiques et de réduction des gaz à effet de serre (GES), les municipalités québécoises doivent intégrer des matériaux plus respectueux de l’environnement dans leurs projets d’infrastructures routières. Pour les aider à sélectionner ces matériaux, le projet vise à développer un outil d’aide à la décision qui leur permettra de […]

A consequence of modern development of low-permeability (‘unconventional’) reservoirs using multi-fractured horizontal wells (MFHWs) is inter-well communication. Because inter-well communication can affect well performance for many wells, oil and gas operating companies are interested in the development of easy-to-implement, but effective, reservoir engineering methods for quantifying inter-well connectivity between MFHWs. Current methods for quantifying inter-well […]

robotic TMS coil holder will be developed with the primary objectives of being low-cost and providing a haptic interface for intuitive user manipulation. The key approach to achieving these goals is through reducing the system to the minimal components and working envelope. Frameless neuronavigation methods are capable of easily placing the coil within millimeters of […]

The surge in options for online participation that accompanied the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 was recognized by disability community members as a potential basis for accessibility gains, including in employment and education, where remote and hybrid access accommodations were previously characterized as impossible to implement. As much of the world has “returned […]

In 2010, ERA Architects initiated the Culture of Outports program that explores the adaptive reuse of outport communities scattered along the coastline of Newfoundland and Labrador. Culture of Outports uses research, design, and planning to foster livable communities in Newfoundland’s historic outports. The project proposes that an understanding of the unique history and character of […]

This project is focused on the design of patterned metallic claddings for transmissive electromagnetic metasurfaces. These are thin devices that are composed of sub-wavelength unit cells. Metasurfaces can synthesize electromagnetic radiation patterns; thus, they can offer various applications in wireless communications, satellite communications, electromagnetic imaging and remote sensing. The properties of their unit cells are […]

In response to the escalating demand for clean tech and energy-efficient structures, our project focuses on revolutionizing building data processing for swift decarbonization planning. We tackle the challenge by parsing diverse data from mixed media documents and fine-tuning pre-trained large language models (LLMs) for optimal data query accuracy. Our approach integrates text parsing, tokenization, and […]

This project enhances a device for producing lipid-based nanoparticles, crucial for gene therapy, by focusing on ‘Design for Manufacturing’ principles and surface property optimizations. These optimizations aim for optimal fluid flow and improved interactions with biological cargoes, ensuring efficiency and scalability in production. For Nanofacile Inc., this approach enables a quicker transition from prototype stages […]

This study focuses on the Pacific herring in the Strait of Georgia, which has seen a significant reduction in its range since the 1980s, without a clear cause. This contraction is concerning due to the herring’s importance to species like the Chinook salmon, which rely on herring as a food source. The research aims to […]
