Polar bears are curious, and that curiosity often leads them into conflict with people. Park and wildlife managers across the Arctic need to understand why polar bears approach people and whether they do so because of human activities, a lack of sea ice, or a combination of both of these factors. Currently, this is not […]

Nous savons que l’adaptation aux changements climatiques est maintenant requise à tous les niveaux de la vie sociale, et ce de façon planifiée et concertée. Les coûts humains et économiques sont déjà élevés, des connaissances sont à développer au plan régional, alors que certaines données sont à colliger et à relier entre elles (manques de […]

Internet display advertising is a substantially growing industry, where advertising spots are dynamically allocated according the product characteristics and the target audience. This is commonly seen on Facebook or Google. However, accurate audience targeting is still an enormous challenge in practice, and often evokes frustration for advertisers and users. However, with the rapid growth and […]

With increasing interest in the use of natural fibres, quality characterization is needed to provide benchmarks and uniform standards in order to use the abundance of natural fibre products in niche and higher value markets. Natural fibres are inexpensive, biodegradable and leave no waste, and are sustainable and readily available throughout Canada. By utilizing natural […]

The aim of this project is to predict building energy consumption for next days. Firstly, we will collect several data such as weather data, time data, and historical energy consumption of the building. We will analyze the collected data to recognize the usage patterns of the building, for instance, the low and the high electricity […]

Le bois est un matériau biosourcé. L’utilisation des lames de plancher en bois dans le secteur résidentiel connait une grande expérience. Les exigences en termes de propriétés de ce produit changent, si nous passons du secteur résidentiel et secteur non résidentiel. En raison du nombre de personnes qui marche sur la même surface par unité […]

Finite element modelling (FEM) can be used enhance the understanding of physical testing results and will be applied to two distinct structural problems. The first problem will involve combined loading of concrete masonry walls, and the second problem will involve the performance of adhered stone veneer under wind loading. Combined compressive and out of plane […]

Le développement de méthodes durables de stockage de l’énergie est un élément essentiel de l’arsenal technologique que l’on se doit de mettre en place afin de lutter contre les changements climatiques et développer des sources d’énergie durables. Pour cela, les batteries, et plus particulièrement les batteries au lithium, sont des technologies incontournables. Néanmoins, les technologies […]

Manufacturing system reliability is significant in modern industry that requires high speed and low cost in production. The proposed work is aiming to establish a systematic and applicable approach for machine condition monitoring and condition based maintenance with the help of large amount of data from the industrial internet of things. Deep learning, as an […]

In this project, carbon-based nano-materials were used not only to capture CO2, but also function as a nano-carrier platform to uptake the drugs and genes for cancer therapeutic applications. In other words, the main objective of this project is to tackle two major issues in our society: greenhouse gas emission and cancer.

L’objectif principal est de mettre à disposition de nos partenaires industriels des outils informatisés innovants afin d’améliorer et d’enrichir leurs technologies (plateforme d’imagerie d’EOS Imaging, orthèse du genou de Médicus, outils pour la planification chirurgicale de Spinologics) pour aider une population, de plus en plus vieillissante, à demeurer autonome, mobile et active.

Within a hydrogen fuel cell, the cathode catalyst layer (CCL) is generally considered a limiting component in overall performance due to sluggish oxygen reduction reaction kinetics. The proposed internship is comprised of two projects, each characterizing the materials used in the CCL. The first project will investigate the permeability of oxygen, nitrogen, and helium gases […]
