Le projet vise à améliorer la caractérisation des habitats du saumon atlantique, une espèce de poisson dont la pêche sportive constitue une grande valeur économique pour les provinces de l’est du Canada. Dans un premier temps, des méthodes géomatiques à la fine pointe de la technologie seront utilisés pour produire une cartographie semi-automatisée, à jour, […]

Ce projet de recherche vise à identifier les facteurs susceptibles à expliquer les raisons sous-jacentes a la réussite, la persévérance et l’engagement des étudiantes et étudiants inscrits aux programmes de formation initiale en aérospatial. À l’aide d’un questionnaire en ligne basé sur des échelles motivationnelles, ce projet identifiera: (1) les raisons pouvant pousser les étudiants […]

OrpheusVR is a new operatic experience that immerses audiences in a virtual, mythical world and allows them to have agency over the outcome of the narrative as well as the music and orchestration that drive the storytelling. The experience uses interactive sound to enable creative gameplay that will guide audiences through a fresh new take […]

Advancement of green chemistry, the principles of which are more efficient, cost effective and environmental-friendly processes can be achieved through the use of improved catalysts. In this project, a novel, inherently green synthesis process will be used to produce multifunctional heterogeneous nanocomposite catalyst system that can be applied to facilitate tandem reactions. The synthesis method […]

SBB désire changer de procédé de soudage pour un de leurs produits. Ils veulent remplacer 3 soudures présentement effectuées à l’arc électrique, par des soudures par friction malaxage (FSW). Le soudage par friction malaxage est un procédé relativement nouveau qui utilise la friction générée par un outil en rotation pour mélanger l’interface de deux pièces […]

This research project aims to identify the defects in large steel blocks and remove them by providing a practical solution which causes to optimize the machining operations and improve the product quality. The solution will be found using simulations instead of expensive, time-consuming experiments, which are impossible to conduct in large blocks to recognize the […]

In this project, we attempt to investigate the feasibility of using behavioral synthesis technology for large scale multimedia chip design project. The project will be completed in Metabacus Inc, an Ontario startup company that develops and markets behavioral synthesis technology, which automatically converts software into chip designs. Although promising, one obstacle for the wide deployment […]

The key question addressed by this research project is: what sources of risk drive the volatility of the portfolio held by the business partner? To answer this question, this project employs a set of recently proposed risk management techniques. The business partner is a large institutional investment fund management company with an investment portfOlio that […]

Crenosoma vulpis (Fox Lungworm) is a metastrongyloid nematode parasite infecting the lungs of wild and domestic canids. It is a frequent cause of chronic respiratory disease in dogs in Atlantic Canada. Dogs and foxes acquire the infection from ingesting terrestrial gastropods which contain the infective third larval stage (L3) of the parasite. Nothing is known […]

The objective of the proposed research is to carry out numerical and experimental studies on the performance degradation of propeller blades in three different scales with leading-edge (LE) manufacturing tolerances. In the experimental studies, three single propeller blades in three scales (1:1, 1:2 and 3:4) will be tested in a cavitation tunnel. Flow velocities and […]

Strong evidence for T cell activation in atopic dermatitis disease pathogenesis exists, as demonstrated by the clinical efficacy of therapeutic T cell cytokine blockade. The subsets of human T cells capable of contributing to pathology of this disease remain poorly defined, lending importance to the characterization of T cells and their cytokines within active skin […]

Systematic Conservation Planning (SCP) is the idea that the practice of protecting lands should be examined on a broad scale and be holistic in nature. Available areas of land with conservation potential should be examined critically for whether they fit into a larger ecological network – either as a link between existing protected areas, or […]
