Cartographie pangénomique des loci de méthylation de l’ADN dans le placenta et la sang de cordon ombilical

Afin de s’adapter à plus ou moins long terme à leur environnement, plusieurs organismes ont recours à des modifications épigénétiques, c’est-à-dire en périphérie de l’ADN. Ces modifications, comme l’addition d’une petite molécule sur la chaîne d’ADN, ne changent pas la séquence elle-même. Elles en changent plutôt la « lisibilité », à la manière d’une rature […]

Intelligent hockey sticks for personalized and context-aware performance

Fitting hockey players with the proper stick remains a complex process. Even though clear benefits are expected from this process, its complexity limits its application to only a few times during the career of the very top athletes. Furthermore, unlike golf, hockey players mostly use the same stick during all game situations. Previous research clearly […]

Identifying species and planting conditions to revegetate mixed mine tailings at the Whabouchi site operated by Nemaska Lithium in Northern Québec

The long term objective of this project is to develop methods of revegetating mine tailings sites (in this case, a very large tailing mound in northern Quebec) using natural vegetation, and without transporting soil long distances. The specific objective of this project over the next year is to (i) conduct field trials to determine the […]

Characterization of guided wave propagation in aircraft structures

Structural health monitoring (SHM) is a major area of interest for the aerospace community, especially considering aging aircraft where the growing maintenance costs, estimated to $10,4 billion worldwide annually, can reduce their economic life. The long-term goal of the industry is to deploy SHM systems which will 1) meet the in-service inspection requirements with sensors […]

Development of a business model to plastic packaging waste management: the case of the Montreal Metropolitan Community (MMC)

“By being moldable, durable, light, and inexpensive plastic packaging has seen a rapid growth in the use and its disposal is becoming a planetary challenge. Besides sustainable production and consumption globalized trade in waste plastics represents a significant option towards a circular economy. China, who so far represented the greatest importer of this material, recently […]

Validation de divers algorithmes de reconnaissance de cristauxappliqués à la tomographie d’émission par positrons.

La tomographie d’émission par positrons (TEP) chez le petit animal présente des défis par rapport à son pendant clinique, particulièrement au niveau de la résolution spatiale. Une façon de minimiser ce problème est d’utiliser deux cristaux scintillateurs par photodétecteur pour améliorer la résolution sans augmenter le nombre de voies électroniques. Cette astuce permet d’améliorer la […]
