Le projet vise à élaborer et proposer des solutions intégrées à la problématique de gestion des déchets pour un territoire dans le région de la ville de Xalapa (Mexique). Pour cela, le projet prévoit deux stages : (1) mise en valeur agricole des matières résiduelles organiques et en particulier des résidus du secteur du café […]

The cornea is a thin transparent tissue that protects the internal parts of the eye and refracts light onto the retina. Severe corneal damage can lead to irreversible scarring that prevents light from passing through the cornea, causing long-term vision loss. The best treatment for severe corneal damage is to transplant donor corneal tissue from […]

Modélisation des comportements des fluides environnementaux et du système respiratoire chez l’humain (avec ou sans contaminant; avec ou sans traitement) (ex, : O2))

This research project focuses on understanding climate change’s effects on air quality and human health. It acknowledges that exposure to chemical and physical stressors also increases as extreme environmental events (like heatwaves, floods, droughts, …) become more frequent. This could potentially lead to new adverse health impacts or amplify existing ones. The project’s primary objective […]

While eye drops are the most common treatment for anterior segment ocular disorders, they are inefficient due to fast clearance, often requiring frequent and high doses, reducing patient compliance, and increasing the risk of systemic toxicity. To improve the efficiency and efficacy of topically applied therapeutics, a drug-loaded polymeric micelle that interacts with the mucin […]

La compagnie Trevi Inc., le plus important fabricant de piscines hors terre au Québec, souhaite substituer une partie du polypropylène utilisé dans les composantes de piscines par de la fibre de bois dans une perspective de diminuer l’impact environnemental de ses produits, dont les composantes produites par injection. L’introduction des fibres de bois dans le […]

The traditional way of making manganese chemicals for batteries causes large environmental problems in North America and the European Union because it uses harsh chemicals and creates a lot of pollution. The current methods only work well with oxide manganese ore, leaving the most abundant carbonate manganese unused and wasted. Our research is about finding […]

Canada and Germany have ambitious plans to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 and 2045, requiring significant changes in the power system, such as substituting centralized fossil fuel power plants with distributed renewable energy resources and electrification of transportation, construction, and heavy industry. These changes have reduced system inertia, vital for grid operation. On the path […]

It has been estimated that approximately 70% of operators in automotive assembly use power-tools to complete their assembly tasks, yet companies have a difficult time determining why injuries happen when they are used. Before we can determine this, we need to understand the type of postures and the level of physical demand and the frequency […]

Rock engineering has usually relied on fracture intensity to measure how good or bad rock quality is. But this measure does not really capture how fractures in the rock connect and interact with each other, which is important. We propose using a different approach based on fracture connectivity instead. This looks at how fractures are […]
