In North America, nearly half of adults experience chronically elevated blood pressure (BP), posing heightened risks of cardiovascular disease and kidney failure. Unfortunately, only half of those with elevated BP, or hypertension, are cognizant of their condition. The overarching goal of this project is to identify ways to monitor blood pressure with low cost, non-invasive […]

Recent statistics in Canada highlight a growing aging population, with 18.8% aged 65 and older, projected to increase by 6.2% by 2036. Falls and pressure injuries (PI) are major concerns for seniors and hospitalized patients, contributing significantly to hospitalizations. About 20-30% of seniors experience falls annually, leading to 85% of senior injury-related hospitalizations. While various […]

L’objectif général de ce projet est de valider une version modifiée de l’échelle Cognitions sur les Crimes Sexuels sur Internet (C-CSI) à une population adolescente québécoise; version intitulée Perception des adolescents à propos de comportements sexuels en ligne (PACSL). Plus précisément, les formes de validité suivante seront établies : Validité de surface et écologique, validité […]

To distinguishing between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), colonoscopy is currently the gold standard. However, not only it is painful for the patient, but also expensive and time consuming. To address this problem, calprotectin in the stool can be a perfect marker to test. Companies such as BÜHLMANN has developed ELISA, […]

Eastern Slopes Rivers (ESRs) of Canadian Rockies are fed by various water sources including surface runoff, snow- and ice-melt, and groundwater. The contributions of the water sources vary seasonally and over the decadal scale under a changing climate. Different water sources flow through different pathways having different geological interactions, and consequently different water geochemistry. Therefore, […]

The Project is to define the requirements to be used in the evaluation of feasibility and estimate of next generation of Simulator Training Workflow & Analytics Solution tool. It will leverage an existing Standard Operating Procedure workflow tool, to modernize its features to ensure that CAE (and potentially end client) users can find answers to […]

In this proposal, intern will be tasked with reinforcement learning algorithm to refine the process of material selection. This method of machine learning is designed to iteratively enhance decision-making, ensuring the most effective materials are identified for various applications. The focus will be on aligning the materials’ performance characteristics with their intended use. As a […]

The Casa Berardi mine is a significant gold producer in the northern Abitibi area. Exploration efforts for new mineralized zones in this region is complicated by a thick cover of surficial deposits and new exploration tools based on a better understanding of gold concentration are necessary to guide future exploration at depth. This project proposes […]

In this project, an underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) from the industry partner EcoMarine Technologies Inc is used to navigate underwater to execute the tasks of capturing and filtering the biofouling when performing hull cleaning for ships in the ocean. In order to avoid harmful debris being released into the sea when cleaning, environmentally friendly […]

This NSERC Alliance MITACS grant brings together a world-renowned semiconductor micromanufacturing industrial leader Teledyne Micralyne, and a microfluidic device design and process development researcher to develop wafer-scale and versatile microfluidic fabrication processes adaptable to major microfluidic applications. It will provide a unique research and training opportunity for HQPs to enhance their professional and technical skills […]

L’extraction et le traitement du lithium, qui est utilisé en grande partie pour les batteries de voitures électriques, posent des risques pour l’environnement, car ces activités peuvent avoir comme conséquence l’accumulation de produits toxiques dangereux et de lithium en tant que tel dans les écosystèmes avoisinants. Le Québec possède des réserves importantes de spodumène, qui […]

Estimation of software projects efforts is one of the early management tasks in a software initiative and a particularly challenging one. To train software project managers, simulation tools based on games concepts and technologies have been used successfully. However, available educational simulators do not tackle this first critical task in a software project, that is […]
