As concerns grow globally about resource scarcity and the impacts of climate change, there is greater need to develop alternative energy systems to support our economic activities. As new technologies are developed, there is also a need to fully understand their potential environmental benefits and impacts so we can make design improvements and so governments […]

Les principaux défis de la cybersécurité sont la protection des données sensibles, des renseignements disponibles sur Internet, et la lutte contre les actions de piratage numérique. Pour une banque coopérative comme le Mouvement Desjardins, le risque lié à la cybersécurité est important, puisqu’il peut remettre en cause la relation de service basée sur la confiance […]

Plasticizers are used to increase the flexibility and workability of relatively rigid polymers such as poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC). For decades, di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP and sometimes termed as dioctyl phthalate (DOP)) was the most common plasticizer used in PVC formulations. However, DEHP has been shown to have negative health effects, such as being an endocrine disruptor. […]

Contexte et problématique : Dans le cadre de la maîtrise en développement organisationnel, l’étudiante effectue un projet de recherche associé au département d’entrepreneuriat et innovation ainsi qu’au pôle Mosaic d’HEC Montréal auprès d’une PME ciblée : LANDRY et associés. À l’heure actuelle, il existe très peu de littérature portant sur les facteurs de succès liés […]

L’objectif du projet est de formaliser et structurer le processus de recrutement à l’interne de Fibrenoire. Sachant que chacune des phases du recrutement comprend : la planification des besoins, l’analyse des postes, le profil de compétences, l’attraction des candidats, la sélection des candidats, l’accueil et l’intégration ainsi que l’évaluation du processus, il sera question d’analyser […]

The project goal is to extract motions of high-level divers to quantify technique and outcome (key indicators) markers. We need to measure some discrete variables (maximum height, flight time, springboard depression and others) and explain why the athlete is able to reach those results by calculating spatio-temporal variables (coordination with the board, lower and upper […]

A number of fungal pathogens cause life-threatening infections in patients whose immune system is crippled. Among others, these include patients treated with cancer chemotherapy and patients who receive organ or blood cell transportation. Pre-term infants, elderly patients and patients in intensive care units are also at risk of developing life-threatening infections. Moreover, fungi cause very […]

In order to produce orthopedic knee prostheses for a patient, it is necessary to produce an accurate three-dimensional model of the knee cartilage. The overall goal of the project is to develop a new segmentation method of knee cartilage on MRI images that is both automatic and robust. Laboratoires Bodycad inc. is currently developing innovative […]

Les gisements d’or de l’Abitibi sont généralement des filons de quartz. Mais il existe certains gisements plus complexes, mal décrit, où l’or est associé à du cuivre dans des zones de métamorphisme reliées à des remontées de granite. La compagnie Alexandria explore ce type de cible, mais le manque de connaissances détaillées fragilise l’exploration. Le […]

This project will offer a comprehensive review of the latest battery electric-powered equipment addressed to UG mining industry. Consequently, the research will contribute to a better understanding of the technology. Westwood mine will assist the student with his research with the opportunity of acquiring experimental data on battery electric prototypes. The enquiry will serve to […]

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in Canadian men and the third deadliest. If the majority of PCa are well treated using first line treatments like surgery, radiation and/or androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), a proportion of cases (10%) progress to metastatic cancer resulting in more than 4 000 deaths annually in Canada. […]

Les écrits les plus significatifs laissés par la créatrice des Jardins de Métis, Elsie Reford, seront mis en valeur sur le web et in situ, à la Villa Estevan, sous forme de capsules audio et vidéo, ce qui permettra de mieux faire connaître cette femme, au-delà des jardins qu’elle a créés, de 1926 à 1958.
