The project aims to examine the potential for use of municipal biosolids (treated sewage solids) as a low cost construction material in the creation of solid soil capillary barrier covers (multi-layer covers that limit oxygen diffusion) to reduce acid generation in mine tailings. The ability for biosolids to prevent water flow and oxygen diffusion through […]

Hydraulic Fracturing or fracking has been extensively used in the extraction of hydrocarbon fuels in unconventional reservoirs. This process bears significant economic and environmental implications. The partner, ExGeo, has been providing professional services to the petroleum companies to monitor the fracking process using microseismic signals. To improve the precision of field monitoring and optimize the […]

Workflow management frameworks support the creation of task dependencies and make efficient use of resources while running those workloads. Typically, these tasks can be long running processes like machine learning algorithms or access data from databases. Workflow management consists of mapping tasks to suitable resources and the management of workflow execution in a cloud environment. […]

Depuis plusieurs années, l’évolution croissante de l’intelligence d’affaires (BI) et de l’analytique (A) a renforcé la compétitivité des entreprises, créant des disparités entre les grandes entreprises à forts moyens et les PME. Pour faire face à l’intensité concurrentielle, les PME sont contraintes de suivre les tendances technologiques en adoptant des outils BI&A toujours plus performants. […]

Le contrôle du bruit en basses fréquences est un enjeu important dans divers secteurs comme ceux de l’habitation, de l’environnement urbain et des transports. En général, pour atténuer le bruit basses fréquences, les matériaux acoustiques traditionnels doivent être plus épais à mesure que la fréquence diminue. Néanmoins, l’espace réservé pour ces matériaux est généralement limité […]

Counterproductive Work Behaviours (CWB) are negative behaviours in the workplace that could hinder productivity and organizational effectiveness. Example behaviours are CWB violence, harassment, stealing or even drug consumption on the job. CWB cost organizations millions of dollars every year and therefore their prevention is a major priority for managers. Despite its importance, there has not […]

Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are metallic alloys which can undergo deformation and return to their original form when heated above their characteristic transformation temperature. Due to their unique properties, SMAs have found use in the aerospace, robotics, biomedical, and automotive industries, among others. Traditional SMAs are limited to one distinct transformation temperature per individual component, […]

Entrepreneurship is the embodiment of innovation and its presence is a significant indicator of the power of an economy. Engineering is an essential sector for production of high technology products, services, and jobs, and is often at the forefront of innovation. This research aims to strengthen the current understanding of entrepreneurial success of engineers in […]

L’objectif de cette recherche est de dresser un portrait global des règles internationales qui régissent la commercialisation des services numériques. De ce point de vue, quatre grands axes seront présentés dans le cadre de cette recherche. Tout d’abord, une synthèse de la revue de la littérature qui traite des normes commerciales internationales à l’égard de […]

The project is to break down shoppers into different groups. Shoppers have different preferences, for instance some shoppers tend to buy online in the morning, some might prefer purchasing online at night. If one could group together shoppers based on their different shopping behaviours, one would then be able to come up with personalized sales […]

The main purpose of the internship is to research and create a product that can be used by insurance companies to streamline their claim processing pipeline. The task is to take images and text provided in an insurance claim and generate a prediction for the cost to repair the damage that is closer to the […]
