This research is intended to investigate the pathways to accelerate the diffusion of demand-side low-carbon innovations and socio-technical energy system change. Specifically, we want to map out whether innovations are pertinent, which can reinforce each other, which policies, stakeholders and legitimacy factors help them and their interactions. The variables that the innovations were coded for […]

Diabetes is a chronic, metabolic disease characterized by elevated levels of blood glucose, which leads to serious damage to the heart, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys and nerves over time. It is estimated that around 10% of Canadians have diabetes, which is 1 of the 10 leading causes of death globally. While diabetes is highly prevalent, […]

The research project aims at integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into a user interface (UI) in the context of engineering design. Based on this context, the AI-aided UI of the CAD software will actively return hints and advice on missing parts of the product and/or what will be the next steps of the design. Such a […]

Therapeutic development is a long and laborious process, very expensive and risky. The high costs are linked to the high risk of failure and there is therefore a need to develop new tools and new approaches that can accelerate and de-risk these processes. The development of digital technologies brings enormous potential to traditional therapeutic development […]

This research work will establish a systematic workflow for analyzing transient equilibrium foamy oil phase behavior by coupling the m-CCEC tests, depletion rate and presence of water-in-oil emulsion from microscopic viewpoint which are seldom performed for heavy oil. It will provide a strong connection and comparison with previously studies which was conducted in the absence […]

Well-known Canadian montane national parks have undergone a length period of fire suppression activities, which started in the early 20th century. This has resulted in old growth forest stands that are relatively homogeneous in nature, often containing forests that have the same species, age, and structure. In recent years, mountain pine beetle outbreaks have occurred, […]

The project will investigate the relationship between Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and temperature. The intern will use researched knowledge and thermal metrics to design a simulated trial to gather data (acquiring and processing several images), analyze (reviewing data and performing analytics), model (create specific DVT data models) and validate the simulated data with real data […]

A chemical process that causes decay in materials is known as Corrosion. The rate and degree of corrosion depend on the immediate environment affecting the materials. Offshore oil and gas industries are equipped with subsea pipelines, cables, vessels, etc. The presence of microbes in the production stream or the transport line may cause corrosion in […]

Le present projet vise a democratiser l’utilisation du laser terrestre et de la modelisation 3D en archeologie. Souvent consideree com me couteux ces outils sont tres peu souvent envisage dans un contexte de recherche archeologique. Or, depuis une decennie la revolution numerique que nous connaissons a enormement simplifier I ‘utilisation du laser terrestre en plus […]

L’entreprise Fastercom se spécialise dans le développement d’algorithmes et de logiciels permettant de résoudre différentes formes de problèmes liés aux transports. L’objectif de ce projet est de développer des techniques d’apprentissage automatique adaptées au problème de repositionnement dynamique de véhicules. Il s’agit par exemple du repositionnement d’ambulances pour couvrir adéquatement une zone pour les urgences, […]

In order to maintain safe and efficient operations, railway systems periodically use large, special purpose, trackbound grinding machines to re-establish the desired profiles of rails, and to remove surface damage that has occurred under operating conditions. The accuracy of the grinding process is typically measured using quality indices to compare the resulting rail profile to […]

This research project supports the development of cycling planning tools within an online transportation planning platform called the Transportation GeoXchange (TGX). Research focusses on the development and integration of Level of Traffic Stress (LTS) network analysis in case studies using the TGX. LTS networks are routable graphs with impedance functions that characterize the subjective level […]
