The objective of the research is to develop a system leveraging data captured for commercial building management systems (BMS) to take decisions in to reduce energy consumption without affecting comfort. The idea is to showcase how intelligent control can be implemented in existing BMS to optimize energy consumption. The project is divided in three parts: […]

KPU and BuildMapper pursued a collaborative data science project to automate and enhance BuildMapper’s core business intelligence algorithms. One algorithm will consist of a customized web crawler for the discovery and acquisition of semi-structured and unstructured construction phase information sourced from municipality websites. The other work includes the design of a SQL database for the […]

Providing safe drinking water to the population is one of the main roles of municipalities. However, due to aging urban infrastructure, the number of pipe break is an increasingly around the world which is costly at the economic, social and environmental levels. Municipalities need to have tools that allow predicting these breaks so they can […]

Achieving optimal sport performance is complex and multidimensional. Athletes need to have high levels of physical and psychological skill. It is already commonly understood that an athlete’s emotional state can affect performance. With this project, we would like to take this one step further and investigate how an athlete’s emotions affect movement patterns, more specifically […]

An aneurysm is a balloon off a blood vessel in the brain, that could potentially bleed resulting in devastating consequences for the patient. Brain aneurysms a common, and are present in up to 7% of the general population. Traditional treatment of complex brain aneurysms involves placing a metal “flow-diverting” stent across the neck of the […]

La prédiction des propriétés géologiques et géotechniques en temps réel lors de forages est un enjeu crucial dans de nombreux domaines des sciences de la Terre. En effet, pour l’ingénieur pétrolier et minier, l’enjeu est de connaître les propriétés économiques en tête de forages afin d’optimiser le rendement de la récupération des ressources. En génie […]

In the last decade optimization is expanded in many applications from food production to sophisticated applications such as engine fuel efficiency. In the proposed package, it is tried to apply optimization techniques along with physics based analytical and semi-analytical methodologies to create a compelling framework which can help thermal-process based oil industry to reduce their […]

The objective of the proposed project is to better understand how the brain recovers language functions after a stroke. We want to determine what the changes are in the brain of a person who has had a stroke when they can say more words after treatment for their speaking difficulties. We want to know if […]

The Canadian Association of Midwives (CAM) implements global programs in Africa and the Caribbean, building midwives’ technical skills and strengthening the capacity of midwifery professional associations in our partner countries. CAM seeks two researchers first to assess current best practices in skills and knowledge transfer activities (particularly the transfer of healthcare skills) and civil society […]

La batterie lithium-ion pourrait occuper une place importante dans la transition énergétique à venir. Elle permettrait notamment d’équiper un nombre important de véhicule électrique. Cependant, son coût élevé et l’empreinte carbone importante liée à sa production diminue sa compétitivité. Afin d’améliorer ces deux aspects, la compagnie Nemaska Lithium propose une technologie novatrice pour produire de […]

La région de l’Outaouais possède un fort potentiel de développement dans le secteur de l’économie sociale. Les acteurs du développement en prennent de plus en plus conscience et plusieurs cas de partenariats entre des entreprises d’économie sociale (EÉS) et certaines municipalités de la région ont vu le jour afin de réaliser ce potentiel. Notre recherche […]

Source code is what programmers write as instructions to the computer to execute to complete a desired task. All operating systems and applications on a computer or a mobile device is a runnable version of a compiled source code. Experienced programmers can easily browse and understand source code in different programming languages because they have […]
