Actuellement, les médicaments sous ordonnance sont testés rigoureusement durant plusieurs années, d’abord sur des cellules animales et humaines, puis sur des animaux et finalement chez des humains avant de pouvoir être approuvés par une agence règlementaire telle que Santé Canada. Pour certains médicaments, les études cliniques chez les humains peuvent être difficiles ou même impossibles […]

Internet of things (IoT) includes of multitude of sensors from a wide variety of applications. These sensors produce high volume and high velocity data. Recently there has been much interest in application of such technologies to improve agricultural practices. The sensors that are installed in the field transmit real time data regarding numerous environmental variables […]

Coffee production with imported beans has doubled in Canada since 2003. From this > 125,000 t of waste is generated most of which ends up in landfill. A significant component of the waste is as the pulp (cascara) and silverskin. In 2019, the Happy Goat Company roasted 50 t of green coffee beans yielding 300kg […]

The intern has developed a 3D microscopic model to simulate water bead behavior on hydrophobic and superhydrophobic coatings. The microscopic model developed at Concordia University which simulates one bead cannot be directly integrated into an aircraft icing panel code such as CANICE-2D. CANICE-2D approved by Transport Canada has been widely used at Bombardier Aerospace to […]

The project will determine sliding wear behaviour of lightweight Al and Mg alloys for the continuously variable transmission (CVT) bore application and other engine applications. High temperature lubricated wear tests that simulate the actual operating conditions of CVT bore will be carried out. In addition, tests will be conducted at room temperature and under the […]

As of 2012, about three million Canadians suffer from chronic kidney disease. Patients with kidney failure need dialysis or kidney transplantation to survive. LDKT (LDKT) is the best treatment option for many patients with kidney failure, however, it is not used as much as it could be. Patients who belong to ethnic minority groups are […]

Regulatory safety initiatives for Canadian community pharmacies have been rapidly evolving throughout the last decade and now feature requirements for expanding pharmacy offerings, implementing on-line error reporting, assessing quality improvement analytics, and incorporating comprehensive safety enhancement practices. With each province approaching this new regulatory environment differently, large-scale community pharmacy providers must navigate these complex demands, […]

Buildings have a high share of energy consumption in Canada. Real-time monitoring and analysis of energy use data can assist in improving the performance of the building and help reduce operating costs, lower utility bills, increase equipment life, improve occupants’ comfort, and increase retention and leasing rates; all while lowering carbon emissions. Joule M&V AI […]

Cancer is the leading cause of death in Canada. A promising new way to treat cancer is through the administration of immune cells that target the cancer – an approach called cancer immunotherapy. The goal of this project is to engineer better culture vessels to produce dendritic cells. Dendritic cells are the “gatekeepers” of our […]

Le projet de recherche a pour sujet Ie developpement d’un modele predictif des elections provinciales du Quebec en se basant sur les donnees historiques des elections 2008 ainsi que sur les donnees de sondages effectuees avant Ie scrutin. L’objectif est de chercher un modele qui va se rapprocher de la realite en predisant Ie mieux […]

Currently FCL obtains its power from SaskPower, which is the main utility company in Saskatchewan. SaskPower produces the bulk of electricity through burning fossil fuel. To change this SaskPower is encouraging the public to install renewable energy systems and connect to their electrical grid. FCL will take advantage of SaskPower’s programs and install renewable energy […]

La prévalence des lésions au système musculo-squelettique est très élevée (29,8 % parmi toutes les catégories de maladies chroniques). Parmi ces lésions, un grand pourcentage concerne l’articulation du genou. Plusieurs études ont montré que les données biomécaniques permettent une évaluation fonctionnelle de l’état du genou. Le système d’acquisition de données KneeKG permet une analyse précise, […]
