Balch Exploration Consulting Inc. (BECI) develops low cost geophysical survey solutions to the natural resources sector. They are investing in the development of a rotary-wing unmanned aircraft system (UAS) with a new high-precision fluxgate magnetometer. The general objective of this internship is to develop a rotary-wing UAS for aeromagnetic surveying. Specific objectives are to: assemble […]

Morphodynamic models are increasingly used in watershed management to predict the evolution of river channels and to test management scenarios prior to their implementation. The impact of plants in riparian zones is particularly critical to better document, but the current models rarely integrate this component. This project will use a bank erosion module and a […]

Rooftop solar modules installations are growing in popularity as the benefits of implementing these features on previously unoccupied roof space are being realized. A major concern with these installations is the contribution to the roof load due to the interaction between high wind speeds and the angled modules. Similarly, there are concerns with uplift on […]

Over the past 15 years, People for Education has conducted a survey of Ontario’s publicly funded schools. From this large-scale survey, People for Education produces research reports on public education in Ontario that are widely disseminated to the public and have been instrumental to informing educational policy in the province. The core objectives of this […]

L’Institut du véhicule innovant (IVI) situé à Saint-Jérôme a récemment mis sur pied le programme Arion qui vise à créer un système de navigation pour véhicule autonome hors route adaptable à plusieurs contextes et environnements. L’IVI veut transférer toute la technologie développée dans le développement de ce système à diverses PME partenaires désirant créer des […]

One of the primary goals in tall building codes and standards is to protect life safety of inhabitants during earthquakes. Several methodologies have been proposed to achieve a proper performance of buildings. In this proposal, a recent method is applied using a series of nonlinear dynamic analyses under an appropriate suite of ground motion records. […]

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) release to stormwater through wear of asphalt and tire as well as deposition of vehicle exhaust – are of great concern due to its acute toxic, carcinogenic and estrogenic effects on aquatic organisms. Stormwater contaminated with these organic pollutants pose a threat to receiving waters. Kerr Wood Leidal (KWL) is a […]

Le contexte démographique et économique des régions éloignées du nord du Québec est en pleine évolution. Depuis quelques années, les gestionnaires des organisations dont les opérations s’exécutent sur ces territoires font face à de nombreux défis à relever pour attirer, intégrer et retenir la main-d’oeuvre autochtone locale. Pourtant, ces emplois constituent une solution au développement […]

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) results in high blood sugars and can cause serious complications. Recent studies suggest that treatment with diabetes medications along with lifestyle changes can result in patients not needing diabetes medications for months or even years, a concept known as diabetes remission. The Remission Evaluation of Metabolic Interventions in Type 2 Diabetes […]

Recent developments in process industry as well as tight environmental discharge regulations required industries to recycle water which means removing contaminants and send it back to the process. Conventional treatment systems consume energy with large carbon footprint. Canadian economic movement towards decarbonization has lead us to focus our research on the development of a material […]

Human history is punctuated by new innovations that reshape the way people interact and process information, (e.g., the telegraph, the telephone, radio and TV). We are in the midst of a digital revolution, and old theories and methods for understanding and shaping the way people process information are woefully inadequate. This is evident both in […]

An increasing number of consumers favor minimally processed products from natural ingredients for reducing the intake of chemical additives from food products. One of the major problem for the food industry is the lack of natural additives. The main objective for this research is to develop and optimize natural, safe, effective and affordable antimicrobial additives […]
