Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of crystalline materials with ultrahigh porosity, and high surface areas. With these properties, along with variability for both the organic and inorganic components of their structures, MOFs are of interest for potential applications in clean energy, most significantly as storage media for gases such as hydrogen and methane, and […]

This project will shed new light on the interrelations between creative writing and translation in understudied contemporary Canadian Francophone works. Firstly, contemporary Francophone writer-translators of Montréal will be analysed; secondly, interrelations between the aspects of translation in Montréal’s cityscape, soundscape and literatures will be investigated; thirdly, the process of translation will be employed as a […]

The adequacy of hospital nurse staffing in Canada is essential for the delivery of quality health care to Canadians. In light of permanent nursing staff shortage in most of Canadian hospitals, using of supplemental nurses to bolster permanent nursing staff is widespread. Having suitably qualified staff on duty at the right time is a large […]

Optical sensors are revolutionizing the physiological measurements important for diagnostic purposes. For instance, we can now use optical methods to measure heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, and even blood pressure. Optical technology, in the form of optical microresonators that can trap light at a microscopic scale, can also be used to measure very small changes […]

The Congo Basin loses approximately 1 million hectares of forest per year as a result of human disturbance and climate change impacts. This forest loss leads to large scale changes in land cover patterns. The rate of these changes is expected to double in the future, as human population grows, and with increased global warming. […]

In Canada, approximately 1 in 4 adults are living with obesity. Obesity is cause by a complex interplay of genetic, behavioural, and environmental factors that can increase the risk of developing non-communicable diseases such as Type 2 diabetes mellitus, coronary heart disease, asthma, several cancers, and disability in adulthood. Restricting caloric consumption and increasing physical […]

The Canadian Athletic Therapy association (CATA) is the governing board for athletic therapist, health care professionals who rehabilitate athletes who are injured or in pain. Over-the-counter and prescription medications are often used by athletes as a pain management strategy, although they can have negative impacts on their health if misused. Since Athletic therapists follow athletes […]

The entertainment industry delivers media products around the world to people speaking a large number of distinct languages. To accommodate different languages, the producers typically re-generate the sound stream in different languages in a post-production step, but they leave the same video footage resulting in the desynchronization between the audio and video content, creating an […]

Mechanical wear and chemical corrosion are the two main dominant factors that limit the service life of industrial machinery. Wear and tear of tools and equipment are significantly intensifying due to the increasing demand for superior efficiency, productivity, and throughput of industrial apparatuses. Since the surface of the materials is more exposed to abrasive wear […]

Ce projet Mitacs permet de compléter une plus grande recherche sur le cirque social, son développement et ses enjeux en temps de pandémie, et d’assurer la diffusion cette dernière aux publics à la fois universitaires en publiant un ouvrage de référence sur le sujet, et communautaires et institutionnels grâce à deux documents plus accessibles. Il […]

Canada is one of the nations that committed towards mitigation of climate change and the Paris climate goals, which mandates major actions to modify the current GHG emissions in the Canadian context. Buildings are the primary consumers of Canada’s produced energy and one of the major GHG contributors. This project aims at assessing the possibility […]

Pilots are responsible for the safe operations of airplanes in complex environments. Therefore, is it essential that pilots receive high quality training. High quality training is dependent on instructor’s ability to provide constructive feedback and help pilots perform to the best of their abilities. The recent development of portable biometric sensors, such as the Apple […]
