A cardiac arrhythmia is defined as an abnormal heartbeat which happens when the patient’s heart beats too fast, too slow, or in other irregular patterns. Although arrhythmia can occur without any symptoms, it is typically associated with heart palpitations, chest pains, fainting or heart failure. One type of treatment option is an interventional catheter-based procedure, […]

Iberian Minerals is a junior mining company, based in Canada. The Company recently acquired Mineworx Technologies, based in Vancouver, British Columbia and is now focused on various mining technologies. One such technology we are developing is an eco-friendly, non-cyanide based leach extraction for gold processing utilizing iodine as a complexing agent. The research and development […]

Les mesures de stations météo et d’équipements intelligents sont de plus en plus disponibles. Ces mesures permettent de caractériser le lien entre les conditions météo, les habitudes des occupants et la consommation d’énergie. La meilleure connaissance de ce lien contribue au développement d’outils permettant d’anticiper la consommation d’énergie. Un réalisme accru de prévision permettrait à […]

However, hydrogen storage is difficult) due to the poor density of gaseous hydrogen under ambient conditions. Many possibilities have been investigated to increase the energy per volume ratio of hydrogen, including high pressure tanks, cryogenic conditions or the development of alternative hydrogen storage materials. The local company Hydrogen In Motion is developing new materials for […]

Les chutes chez les aînés sont un problème de santé publique sérieux. Actuellement, les services mis en place pour prévenir l’augmentation du nombre de chutes au sein de la population québécoise s’inscrivent majoritairement en prévention secondaire et tertiaire, pour une clientèle âgée de 65 ans et plus à risque de chute, ou ayant déjà chuté. […]

La topographie de surface est un paramètre important pour des différents domaines (hodologie, géologie, agriculture, …). Contrairement aux méthodes conventuelles, l’interférométrie radar permet de produire des modèles numériques de terrain sur des étendues spatiales importantes, à faible coût, dans un temps réduit et indépendamment de la condition métrologique (comparé au lidar aéroporté). L’objectif général de […]

Wind farm power production forecasting within time interval, from minutes to hours, is essential for utilities and is required for planning operation/shutdown of thermal units in the system. This project involves finding a wind farm simulation model that could be used for the development of wind power prediction software. The main challenge is to find […]

The purpose of this proposal is to develop novel technology for optical imaging of the eye, as well as novel computer algorithms toward the automated analysis of this data. The first part of the proposal concentrates on the development of algorithms that will remove motion artifact from images of the retina, the light sensitive back […]

Blending carbon fillers with thermoplastic materials can lead to a significant improvement of the resulting electrical, mechanical, thermal, and gas barrier properties compared with the unfilled polymer. Graphene, the name given to a material consisting of two-dimension layers of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice, has extraordinary properties which make possible to produce a […]

Data analysis and interpretation is a critical step in metabolomics. In metabolomics studies, large amounts of data must be evaluated by appropriate analytical tools in order to transform data into knowledge. Chenomx Inc. is a company that provides metabolomics research software and services. Its flagship software product Chenomx NMR Suite is an integrated set of […]

Evaluating the impact of multiple stressors on aquatic ecosystems often requires robust biodiversity estimates. Traditional methods for sampling fish communities are very costly, may have a significant share of inaccuracy and require specialized taxonomic expertise and have numerous other inherent limitations. The general objective of our proposed project is: • to develop and validate genomic […]

Additive manufacturing that is commonly called 3D printing has been identified as the 3rd industrial revolution because the outstanding flexibility that it brings to designer in the industry. Because the part is printed layer by layer, almost any complex geometry that can’t be made by conventional methods can be fabricated in a wide range of […]
