Médicus développe et fabrique des orthèses dont une orthèse de genou pour réduire les douleurs associées à une rupture du ligament croisé antérieur (LCA) en modifiant la biomécanique du genou. Les techniques et modèles couramment utilisés en biomécanique ne permettent pas d’évaluer l’effet de cette nouvelle orthèse puisque certaines parties du genou sont cachées par […]

There is a disconnect between the development of advanced research methods in academia, and their use to inform real-world policies. The purpose of this research is to apply rigorous tools to support real-world policy questions at the local, regional, and global level, and assist various types of institutions meet their strategic objectives. At the local […]

Battery technology is vital for storing renewable energy, which is inherently intermittent. In order to match these intermittent energy sources (such as the wind and sun) to real world patterns of use, we need reliable and durable energy storage technologies. Increasing the energy density and range of operating temperatures are much needed advancements for next […]

Humic Land is a multi-purpose, 100% organic fertilizer that was produced from black peat using innovative technology that protects live soil microorganisms. It contains a microbial consortia that may produce plant-growth promoting substances, thereby acting as biological promotor of crops growing in stressful conditions. This research will evaluate three mechanisms that could explain Humic Land’s […]

The aim of this project is to improve the user experience of clients ordering online on one the portals of restaurants working with UEAT. This improvement will be in the form of smart recommendations based on the restaurant, time and the user themself. This will be done with an emphasis on respect for user privacy […]

The objective of this project is to develop numerical models for the simulation of the flow field in the novel compact mixed flow compressor, which is one of the main engine core components. Pratt and Whitney Canada have developed a wide range of new high performance aero engines. To further improve the performance of these […]

Optimal trade execution is a well-known problem in quantitative finance. It helps financial actors who trade large quantities of a given asset minimize their risk and their adverse price impact. The problem’s complexity is multiplied when considering highly fragmented markets, such as those existing today for digital assets. The most recent advances in reinforcement learning […]

Finkl-Steel Sorel specialises in delivering high quality forged steel to a wide array of Canadian and international customers. In order to ensure the quality of their product, each forging is individually inspected for flaws and internal irregularities using standard pulse-echo technique. A reliable inspection technique is paramount to reduce the number of rejected forgings. Forged […]

Pulp and paper activated sludge is produced in large quantity and its safe disposal in the environment is a worldwide problem. The long-term goal of our research is to produce polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) or bioplastics using sludge as a source of microorganisms or as a raw material and waste materials as an extra carbon source. INRS […]

Au Québec, l’analyse d’un sol est basée sur des propriétés chimiques qui considèrent le pH, la matière organique et les éléments nutritifs. Cependant, pour assurer la productivité et la santé des sols à long terme, les propriétés physiques et biologiques devraient aussi être évaluées. L’objectif de ce projet est de fournir un modèle d’interprétation de […]

The CTD is a rosette structure which is circular in shape and houses a number of elements. These elements include sensors, water sample bottles, ropes and cables to support the CTD structure. The sensors included in the CTD are not limited to conductivity, temperature and depth, but also include sensors to determine other physical properties. […]

HIV prevention is a growing, and essential facet, of halting the HIV epidemic. Reducing the transmission of HIV and ensuring individuals are tested and put on antiretroviral therapy (ART) cannot effectively and efficiently be accomplished without decisions that are founded on high-quality evidence. Current projects focus on data availability and use among decision-makers and actors […]
