Currently, testing the population more at risk to be severely ill is a cumbersome process. There is a limit to the capacity and the resources of the healthcare system that show a need to be more efficient in discovering infected person. Being able to quickly detect infected person helps reduce the risk of infecting others and it is especially important in environments like nursing homes where there is a high density of person at risk. Using an earpiece that work as a connected object, it is possible to monitor some signals such as cardiac rhythm, level of CO2, and cough.

La recherche proposée contribue à la transformation territoriale de Montréal-Nord en poursuivant un double objectif : a) analyser l’impact d’un nouveau dispositif d’innovation sociale à l’intention de jeunes adultes marginalisés et de leurs familles, b) analyser la contribution des chercheurs engagés dans le cadre de l’Incubateur universitaire de Parole d’excluEs .

This project aims to improve access to documentation and scientific research on women and development in Haiti. Indeed, knowledge availability and accessibility remain very limited on such issues domestically as well as for international stakeholders. It is worth noting that ENFOFANM which was the only existing documentation centre on women’s rights in Haiti was destroyed in the January 2010 earthquake and has not been rebuilt since.

Structural health monitoring (SHM) of airplanes requires very compact and low-power stain sensors. Therefore,

IPR wants to investigate how a commercial micro-fabrication process can be used to implement its MEMS sensor

design, particularly using the electro-conductive properties of doped silicon vs. metal-coated crystalline silicon or

polysilicon. The project will consist 0f e conceptual study of the current design provided by IPR and the design

and evaluation through simulations of that design implemented in different technology.

Solar panel cost has decreased dramatically over the year, but to fully displace fossil fuels from the power sector panels must further decrease in cost, and must increase in efficiency and durability.
TLC is a novel solar panel design that combines high efficiency, high durability and low cost. TLC uses three very-low-cost optical stages to concentrate up to 1500x onto array of ultra-efficient tandem microcells.

Canada is in the very centre of the global energy storage revolution – a broad introduction of solid state battery technology for Electric vehicles, home use and power grid optimisation. At present, lithium-ion batteries use flammable liquid electrolytes and non-surface protected electrodes, which is expensive and potentially unsafe for the environment. This project aims to develop a new generation of safe and cheaper solid state batteries and fundamental understanding of storage mechanisms and structure-property-performance relationships.

Les avancées technologiques et scientifiques ont mis de nouvelles méthodes et théories à la disposition des spécialistes de la sélection du personnel et de la prédiction des comportements au travail. Cependant, plusieurs de ces méthodes et modèles théoriques n’ont jamais été vérifiés empiriquement dans le cadre d’activités réelles de sélection du personnel. Ce projet vise à pallier partiellement ce manque en étudiant la validité prédictive de divers prédicteurs (personnalité, médias sociaux, capital psychologique) lorsque qu’un modèle récent de prédiction du comportement est appliqué.

Au Québec, de nombreux cours d’eau subissent des modifications inhabituelles de leurs niveaux d’eau à cause des changements climatiques, ce qui engendre de nombreux problèmes pour leur utilisation par les riverains (érosion des berges, dégâts aux embarcations de plaisance…) mais également aux responsables de la gestion des barrages.

There are several drugs on the market whose overall safety may not be fully known. Drug safety monitoring is important in identifying previously unknown side effects. This activity is not exclusive to drugs, but also applies to natural health products. Patient awareness of product safety is a major concern in Canada. Only about 5% of side effects experienced by Canadians are reported every year. This could be a danger to public health. Agencies, such as Health Canada, have specific rules in ensuring product safety.

Chaque saison de pêche, les pêcheurs de homard prennent la mer à bord de leur bateau pour installer les lignes de casiers afin de récolter ce produit marin. Le travail s’effectue sur une surface glissante, mouvante et encombrée de cordages, souvent dans des conditions difficiles.
