As fisheries for the Atlantic Sea Cucumber (Cucumaria frondosa) develop in Atlantic Canada, effective management will require a thorough understanding of the underlying genetic relationships within and between different populations to assess “genetic health.” Detecting genetic structure, such as differences in allelic frequencies and heterozygosity, is challenging in marine invertebrate species like C. frondosa due […]

Sleep disturbance is one of the major complaints in patients after major surgery, which can impair to postoperative recovery. Exercise may be an effective non-pharmacological intervention to improve sleep for patients with advanced cancer. The main objective of this proposal is to evaluate the relationships between physical exercises and sleep parameters before surgical procedures and […]

Conventional hard rock mining operations consists of following four steps; drilling, blasting, loading and hauling. In these steps, drilling and blasting is where the breakage of the in-situ, hard-rock formation is achieved. As being the first step of this conventional cycle, drilling plays a prominent role in the success of the other steps. Therefore, hard […]

High quality Cannabis sativa varieties are needed in Canada since the legalization of recreational Cannabis in fall of 2018. Unfortunately, powdery mildew, caused by the fungi Golovinomyces cichoracearum is a major disease of cultivated cannabis. We propose using high-throughput genotyping tools to map new resistance genes to this pathogen. Our approach will include genome wide […]

FORCE uses hydroacoustic echosounder surveys to evaluate the impact of tidal turbines on marine animals in the Bay of Fundy. FORCE use Echoview software to read in the raw sensor data (e.g. voltages) and convert it to a visual representation. Echoview contains some algorithms to detect the bottom of the ocean. However, the FORCE hydroacoustic […]

The mining industry is one of the leading sectors of the Yukon economy. Mining companies are committed to restoring the land affected by mining activities to meet closure plan requirements. Revegetation of impacted sites is a challenge all mining companies face in sub-arctic regions because: 1- Lack of knowledge regarding which plants to use for […]

Les dépenses d’investissement en capitaux d’une entreprise manufacturière représentent un secteur important du développement industriel : les acquisitions, le développement de marchés, la recherche, ou l’ajout de lignes de production dans une entreprise transnationale, s’accompagnent souvent, en effet, de flux de capitaux et de main d’oeuvre importants. À partir de différentes sources de données démographiques […]

The purpose of this research project is to better understand the human resource needs and capabilities of the advanced manufacturing sector in Ontario so as to support industry competitiveness and technological change. This research also contributes to labour market development for Ontario’s workforce through an analysis of training and educational providers and recruitment and retention […]

Pour faire face aux changements fréquents dans leur environnement externe, les PME manufacturières sont appelées à effectuer régulièrement des virages numériques leur permettant l’adoption et l’intégration des nouvelles technologies. Pour relever ce défi, elles ont besoin de développer des capacités technologiques leur permettant de mieux gérer leurs ressources et de les rendre plus disponibles aux […]
