The objective of the proposed research is to investigate the performance degradation of a full-scale modified NACA 66 section, which is typically used for marine propellers, due to leading-edge (LE) manufacturing tolerances. Two-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations will be carried out for the base section without defect (as designed) and sections with LE defects […]

Avec le plan Nord 2035 lancé en 2011 (Gouvernement du Québec 2015), le Gouvernement du Québec prévoit investir dans la mise en place de 17 projets miniers dans le nord du Québec (au-delà du 49ième parallèle). Les écosystèmes fragiles comme la toundra subarctique ne peuvent pas retrouver leur état d’origine après une perturbation d’envergure comme […]

Grasping skill is significant in modern service robot that requires interaction with object under manipulation. Grasping of a new object is a trivial task for human operator while it is challenging for robot manipulators. Inspired by the grasping process of human operators, grasping control algorithms based on the integration of vision, tactile sensing. Deep learning, […]

The emerging technology company is in a dynamic environment where everything is changing turbulently, not only the actors but also the environment itself. For such emerging companies it is crucial to rely on local innovation communities in order to build and maintain a competitive advantage while balancing a number of paradoxes relater to their involvement […]

projections across their watersheds and lower tier municipalities. Leveraging previous modeling that was completed five years ago, they have established a suite of climate variables they would like to update based on the latest science, and hope to access existing regional climate model outputs through online portals or academic experts and undertake post-processing and analysis […]

Le projet vise à utiliser des techniques analytiques avancées sur les données des visiteurs d’une plateforme web dédiée à la commercialisation d’assurance vie en ligne. Cette analyse offrira à l’entreprise partenaire et ses clients l’opportunité de mieux comprendre les utilisateurs de la plateforme. Cette compréhension accrue permettra à l’entreprise partenaire de raffiner ses communications et […]

The intern will be conducting surveys of breeding waterfowl at nine wetlands previously restored by Ducks Unlimited Canada. Wetlands provide abundant ecosystem services and are threatened by modification from environmentally damaging human activities that have reduced their quantity and function. Waterfowl are highly dependent on wetlands for many stages of their lifecycle and Ducks Unlimited […]

RealTerm Energy is developing an AI-based solution for predictively optimizing HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems in smart buildings. A substantial component of this solution is a data analyzer which will mine an enormous dataset to model the operational behaviours of the buildings in different locations around the world. Based on enormous datasets collected […]

Net zero energy building produces as much energy as it consumes, and it has a great potential for energy and carbon reductions. This research will study the design of net zero energy multiunit residential buildings (MURBs), as well as to create a simple Excel tool as an alternative to EnergyPlus for quick assessment. In the […]

This research aims at improving theoretical financial markets models in order to account for the presence of informed traders in a contemporary setting. Despite the fact that privileged information has always been present in various shape or form, theoretical models seemed to be able to account for such informational asymmetry and provide ways to measure […]

Fisheries are an important industry in Canada, particularly in rural communities that depend on marine resources for sustainable economic opportunities. But all fishing imposes environmental costs. In the case of northern fisheries, one cost of concern is the incidental bycatch of seabirds by fisheries. Birds, attracted to bait and discards from vessels, can get ensnared […]

Classification of mineral resources based on geological confidence level is mandated for disclosure by all of the international codes and standards. However, the definition of the “confidence level” is vague in all of these codes mostly because of the fact that every deposit has its own characteristics. This research attempts to establish a method that […]
