Les municipalités ont de plus en plus de difficulté à respecter les normes sur le rejet des contaminants. Cela est dû en partie au resserrement des normes gouvernementales sur le rejet de certains contaminants. Afin d’adresser ce problème, le partenaire industriel du projet souhaite développer un produit efficace pour le traitement des eaux usées municipales. […]

Les arrêts de production coûtent cher dans toutes les industries, mais particulièrement dans le domaine minier où les activités ont un coût horaire très élevé. Ainsi, le présent projet MITACS vise à atténuer une des sources d’arrêts de production dans ce domaine : la présence de contaminants dans le minerai. En effet, la présence de […]

Le projet est divisé en deux parties. La première partie consiste à déterminer la température pour laquelle la consommation en énergie électrique est maximale pour une région donnée. Ceci permet d’anticiper les pointes de consommation d’énergie électrique durant l’année selon les saisons. Ensuite, les profils de la charge des consommateurs d’énergie électrique sont déterminés. Cette […]

The most energy intensive component of mineral processing is comminution (crushing and grinding), consuming, on average, about 50% of the total electric energy of a mine site . To optimize and thereby improve the energy performance, accurate measurement of the ore hardness is critical. The proposed study is aimed at developing a new test apparatus […]

Peregrine falcons (Falco peregrinus) and rough-legged hawks (Buteo lagops) breed throughout the Canadian Arctic. Several monitoring programs were established in the 1970’s and 1980’s to evaluate the recovery of these and other raptors following the banning of DDT. DDT is a pesticide that was once widely used, but resulted in severe population declines in many […]

Le projet de recherche tente de réduire l’impact de l’absentéisme et des arrêts de travail (chez le personnel de soins) sur la qualité des services proposés dans les hôpitaux. Pour cela, des emplois du temps optimisés seront générés à l’aide de nouveaux indicateurs. Ces indicateurs seront créés avec des algorithmes issus de l’intelligence artificielle à […]

In this project, we design and develop a big data analytics system, which is expected to support the advancement in the state-of-the-art in modeling the dynamic risks associated to emergency responders being delayed at active rail crossings. The model will be used to show risk within cities and support prescribed solutions to mitigate the impacts. […]

Maplesoft markets Maple, the world’s premier symbolic mathematics processor, used extensively in education, research, and industry, and Maple T.A. (Testing and Assessment) a powerful online testing environment. The proposed project focuses on development of and research on educational applications of the software. Course content will be developed using Maple and Maple T.A. for core university […]

There is an urging need to enhance the market competitiveness of the fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) material as an alternative to conventional steel and concrete materials in building retrofit projects in Canada due to the reduced life-cycle cost of the former. Optimizing the design of FRP reinforcement is a key element toward increasing the market […]

In 2016, Magna Corporate has partnered with Exonetik to develop multiple prototypes of active seat suspension which were used for market validation and technical feasibility investigation. In June 2019, Magna Seating officially launched a research and development program to bring the active seat suspension to production in July 2021. The objective of this applied research […]

Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are anthropogenic compounds with unique properties and wide applications. The consequence of using such persistent chemicals is widespread contamination reported for groundwater, soil, sediment, and wastewater, especially in industrialized countries such as Canada. The endocrine-disrupting and likely carcinogenic nature of PFAS have resulted in strict regulations on PFAS in drinking […]

Risk evaluation is a crucial aspect of Unmanned Traffic Management (UTM) systems. Risk is calculated for missions involving unmanned systems and includes numerous factors from both ground and air risks. Currently, the risk evaluation and calculation for a mission is done by hand and based on estimations. Furthermore, the final calculated risk for a mission […]
