L’irrigation des cultures de pommes de terre permet d’éviter l’apparition d’un stress hydrique, qui peut réduire la qualité et le rendement de la culture, et en diminue la rentabilité pour les agriculteurs. Pour être efficace, celle-ci doit cependant être appliquée en bonnes quantités, aux bons endroits et aux bons moments. Si la capacité des données […]

In the telecommunications industry, many schemas exist to cap or limit bandwidth at certain levels for clients. However, there are no real options available to allow clients to intelligently utilize spare bandwidth above their committed purchase rates. We propose to design, implement and evaluate novel bandwidth allocation mechanisms for high speed networks like the Cybera […]

Le projet s’intitule, « Vision Aéronautique Québec 2030 : Key Science and Technology Drivers ». L’objectif est d’identifier et analyser les innovations technologiques qui transformeront l’industrie aéronautique, en établissant une arborescence des différentes filières au niveau de la technologie et de l’innovation au sein de l’industrie aéronautique québécoise. Le stagiaire débutera par un travail de […]

Machine maintenance is a necessary task to keep production lines or individual machines running in a healthy condition. Predictive Maintenance (PdM) can effectively reduce maintenance cost and machine down time. However, it requires online machine condition monitoring systems to obtain the relevant parameters of the machines. Conventional distributed-control-system (DCS) -based monitoring systems use wires/cables to […]

A parasite present in the Bras d’Ors Lake in Cape Breton, NS has closed the oyster aquaculture and wild fishery in Cape Breton since the initial outbreak in 2002. This parasite has also affected oysters in the Eastern US. The industry in the US has survived and is stable in part due to the production […]

Pacific salmon are important from ecological, economic, social and cultural perspectives, but many species in the Salish Sea have seen drastic decrease in marine survival rate in recent decades, likely linked to reduced survival of the young stages of salmon due to a combination of environmental, food web changes, and human impacts. This activity will […]

Recreational water sources are important commercial resources and activity hubs. Unfortunately, any public water source is prone to bacterial and viral contamination, which is a major concern for public health agencies. InnovoGENE Biosciences has a developed a simple test that can quickly determine the level of pathogens. Although this method has been rigorously tested in […]

This project will focus on researching Cell Broadcast solutions for Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications (command and control operations). As an alternative to the Internet, Cell Broadcast is expected to offer great advantages to both Utility providers as well as Commercial/Residential HVAC consumers due to its characteristics and it’s broadcasting nature over cellular control channels. Adopting Cell […]

Web computing, in which the world-wide web is itself employed as a distributed computing platform, is entering a stage of rapid expansion with the advent of Open Web Platform so that programs that once worked only a native environment on desktop, tablets or phones can now work from within a browser itself. There is therefore […]

The project is a partnership between Polytechnique Montréal, HEC Montréal, UQAM and JDA Canada. JDA Labs is investigating new approaches to help incorporate “big data” science and analytics into everyday supply chain decisions. It relies on new approaches that employ sensor technologies, new analytic capabilities and simulation techniques to not just sense and respond, but […]

Terrestrial Energy is a Canadian company developing a molten salt reactor (MSR), which is a new type of nuclear reactor with several advantages such as reduced nuclear waste production, inherent safety, and the possibility of using thorium fuel. One of the main challenges with MSRs is corrosion of structural materials that are exposed to molten […]

The objectives of this research project revolve around the emerging world of municipal climate change policy, planning and implementation in an Ontario context. Specifically, this project will: 1. Assess and compare innovative policies and procedures that are being used by Ontario municipalities to integrate growth planning with climate and energy planning. 2. Assess the factors […]
