In this project, we propose the use of blockchains to provide reliability, security, and transparency for collecting and querying IoT data in the energy sector. In particular, we will implement and evaluate our blockchain solution for enabling transactions in local energy markets, where homeowners have the capacity to generate energy (through renewables), stock energy (through […]

Electrocatalytically converting CO2 into value-added transportation fuels, driven by solar derived electricity, can not only tackle global warming by reducing the green-house gases and utilizing the renewable energy, but also bring a great economic benefit. However, the current electrocatalytic technology suffers from an unsatisfied productivity of multi-carbon chemicals, as building blocks for large fuel molecules, […]

Advanced energy storage materials are essential to the continued economic prosperity of our society, as we move towards the electrification of the transportation industry and the further development of our renewable energy resources. Accelerating the pace of discovery and development in advanced energy storage materials will therefore be vital to maintaining economic competitiveness in the […]

High quality Cannabis sativa varieties are needed in Canada since the legalization of recreational Cannabis in fall of 2018. Unfortunately, powdery mildew, caused by the fungi Golovinomyces cichoracearum is a major disease of cultivated cannabis. We propose using high-throughput genotyping tools to map new resistance genes to this pathogen. Our approach will include genome wide […]

FORCE uses hydroacoustic echosounder surveys to evaluate the impact of tidal turbines on marine animals in the Bay of Fundy. FORCE use Echoview software to read in the raw sensor data (e.g. voltages) and convert it to a visual representation. Echoview contains some algorithms to detect the bottom of the ocean. However, the FORCE hydroacoustic […]

Les dépenses d’investissement en capitaux d’une entreprise manufacturière représentent un secteur important du développement industriel : les acquisitions, le développement de marchés, la recherche, ou l’ajout de lignes de production dans une entreprise transnationale, s’accompagnent souvent, en effet, de flux de capitaux et de main d’oeuvre importants. À partir de différentes sources de données démographiques […]

Pour faire face aux changements fréquents dans leur environnement externe, les PME manufacturières sont appelées à effectuer régulièrement des virages numériques leur permettant l’adoption et l’intégration des nouvelles technologies. Pour relever ce défi, elles ont besoin de développer des capacités technologiques leur permettant de mieux gérer leurs ressources et de les rendre plus disponibles aux […]

The main objectives of this one-year study are to enhance systems in data management and integration in three ways: 1) create secure networks that can support BYOD; 2) create a data pipeline system for ETL; and 3) integrate ML content generation into a content management system. An Agile methodology will be used to plan and […]

L’objet de cette recherche est d’améliorer la sûreté de fonctionnement des transformateurs de puissance en développant des méthodes de surveillance, de modélisation, de diagnostic et d’estimation de durée de vie. L’analyse par réponse en fréquence doit faire l’objet d’une étude approfondie puisqu’elle peut conduire à l’identification d’un modèle électromagnétique fiable du transformateur. L’utilisation de ce […]

Fungal pathogens of agriculturally significant crops pose a serious threat against global food security. This is exacerbated by the limited classes of fungicides that are commercially available for the farmers and the rapid emergence of resistance against the existing fungicides. Furthermore, resistance against agricultural fungicides can poses serious threat to human health as it can […]

Comme les limiteurs de courant de court-circuit supraconducteurs sont appeh~s a jouer un role ch~ dans Ie futur des reseaux d’energie electrique. Cependant, leur design requiert des outils de simulation numerique sophistiques, qui ne sont pas accessibles presentement. Ce stage MtTACS, couple a un projet de recherche MITACS de plus grande envergure, vise a mettre […]

With this project, Nuvoola will propose a whole new process of detection, identification and monitoring of people in its entirety from embedded algorithms within an “EDGE” computer system, with a view to performance, and reliability and precision. The innovation lies in the ability of the application to perform a face and body combination while taking […]
