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, […]

La fatigue etant la principale causes de defaillance des turbines hydroelectriques, il devient essentiel d’estimer la performance des methodes d’inspection non destructives presentement utilisees par les producteurs d’energie (inspection visuelle etlou ultrasonore) pour detecter et caracteriser les manifestations de ceUe fatigue. Le developpement de modeles probabilistes, qui lient I’historique des conditions operatoires des turbines, I’evolution […]

Cataract surgery is one of the most common surgeries performed worldwide. The surgery consists on the implantation of a prosthetic lens in order to replace the opaque human crystalline lens. Alcon is the leader in the field developing lenses, surgical instruments and pharmaceuticals that are used pre or post-operatively. The aim of this collaboration is […]

Stroke is a devastating disease that causes a loss of blood to the brain and neuronal death. The sustained inflammation caused by stroke is associated with poor outcomes. Currently, there are no effective treatment options. Exciting new studies have shown a link between bacteria in the gut and brain. This has generated significant interest regarding […]

The integrity of energy pipelines is managed using information obtained from in-line inspections, which are periodically performed non-destructive inspections of the pipe wall to detect and size defects like corrosion, cracks, and dents. The coordinate systems for referencing the locations of the detected defects varies from inspection to inspection. It is therefore necessary to align […]

L’objectif principal de ce projet de recherche est de quantifier la probabilité d’occurrence de dièdres rocheux critiques aux parois des excavations minières souterraines de la mine Raglan à l’aide de la modélisation des systèmes de fractures. Le stage industriel permettra d’utiliser et valider des codes de recherche sur des cas d’étude en milieu industriel, il […]

This exploratory research will seek to answer the primary question generally asked by many industry professionals- “how to evaluate the economic assessment of projects (using Human Centered Design (HCD) philosophy)”. This research will explore how to create an ROI/cost benefit analysis tool to measure economic impacts of the specific type of projects. This report will […]

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a kind of chronic neurodevelopmental disorders that detrimentally affect the behavior and development in children. There is a tight need for efficient treatment. Scientific evidences have shown that the gut microbiota as well as their metabolites may mediate the responsiveness to changes in diet (e.g. ketogenic diet). However, clinically relevant […]

L’utilisation des outils d’analyse du cycle de vie permet de réduire considérablement l’impact environnemental des bâtiments. À l’aide de ces résultats, les concepteurs peuvent améliorer la performance environnementale de leurs bâtiments. Toutefois, l’utilisation de ces outils dans le domaine est encore très peu répandue. Afin de faciliter leur adoption, plusieurs fournisseurs de logiciels proposent des […]

Sport equipment, particularly ice hockey goaltender equipment, development and advancement is due to professional player feedback, advances in material engineering and through following equipment rules and regulations. Often these advances occur at a faster pace than equipment evaluations, which results in a gap in the understanding of the effects that this equipment has on an […]

There is an increasing trend towards miniaturization in the microelectronics industry which increases the power density and thus heat generated from these devices. Consequently, one key factor limiting reliability and higher performance of electronic devices is the heat removal, to maintain the device below its maximum operating temperature. This indicates the importance of devising efficient […]

Persons with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) have high rates of liver disease-related symptoms and poor health-related quality of life – amongst the lowest of all chronic liver diseases. Patients and the Canadian PBC Society have identified the need for self-care tools to manage symptom burden. Building upon a previously developed online wellness program for inflammatory […]
