Cette étude vise entre autres à mieux comprendre la gestion des dimensions temporelles (travail-famille-vie personnelle) qui conduisent à l’intégration et à la rétention des personnes immigrantes au sein des territoires régionaux du Bas-Saint Laurent/Saguenay Lac St Jean/Abitibi Témiscamingue. Elle a également pour but de favoriser des pistes d’actions desserrant le poids du travail pour favoriser […]

The removal and movement of water is an essential activity for the safe and productive operation of mines. In the mining industry pumps are often required to operate several km underground. If a pump were to fail in such a location, the results can be costly and potentially unsafe. It can be exceedingly difficult to […]

Broken Promises is the capstone output of Landscapes of Injustice, a multi-year, intersectoral project exploring the dispossession of Japanese Canadians during the 1940s. The project illustrates the violation of human and civil rights at a time of perceived insecurity; measures taken in the name of national defence; the enduring harm of mass displacement, and loss […]

The safety of intersections, interchanges, and other traffic facilities is most often assessed by tracking and analyzing police-reported motor vehicle crashes over time. Given the infrequent and random nature of crashes, this process is slow to reveal the need for remediation of either the roadway design or the flow-control strategy. This process is also not […]

Access to private or leased land is currently not a simple problem. Landowners would like to know who is on their land, when, and for what purpose. Getting permissions from landowners is often not a straightforward task which often leads to obtaining permission being bypassed. Some landowners do not want hunters, but do not mind […]

This project represents the second step in the development of a “Healthy Body Scorecard” which will allow for more comprehensive and holistic approach to measurement and classification of health in children. This particular project will involve a questionnaire study designed to obtain expert opinion on the development of the scorecard as well as a focus […]

The process for responding to tenders is very long, arduous and involves many repetitive tasks. Among these, it is necessary to read the invitation to tender in order to find the different requirements, important dates, legal obligations, constraints of presentation of the response, etc. All of these factors are used for the prequalification of a […]

Chronic low-back pain (CLBP) is a significant health issue in North America. CLBP patients demonstrate structural changes to and reduced function of the multifidus muscle, which is important to low-back health. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is a treatment used to improve pain and function in low-back pain patients, but is frequently painful. Our partner has […]

Develop and design a fully automated and simple to operate amino acid analyzer capable of detecting with high degree of sensitivity the broadest range of amino acid metabolites or molecular structures found in living cells and chemical compounds. Analyzing the makeup of these structures is often the core to understanding the cause of human health […]

The intern will provide research support and analysis to assist Divani’s entry into the Augmented Reality industry, where Divani may play the role of technology supplier, service provider, or provider of creative AR products. The intern will investigate existing AR technologies, products, and services that currently available or in development. This insight will be used […]

Diamond like carbon (DLC) is an amorphous form of carbon with a high fraction of diamondlike (sp3) bonds. DLC thin films have many attractive attributes including extraordinary hardness, enhanced lubrication and wear resistance properties. Aurora Scientific Corp. is the provider of advanced vacuum coating systems based on its patented physical vapor deposition (PVD) technology. Aurora […]

When construction equipment digs, this generates a complex set of physical interactions between the machine and the soil. Being able to accurately simulate such interactions in real-time opens the door to improved operator training and even adaptively-tuned digging operation that optimize the energy-efficiency of construction equipment. With recent advanced in artificial intelligence (AI), this is […]
