The Canadian Association of Midwives (CAM) implements global programs in Africa and the Caribbean, building midwives’ technical skills and strengthening the capacity of midwifery professional associations in our partner countries. CAM seeks two researchers first to assess current best practices in skills and knowledge transfer activities (particularly the transfer of healthcare skills) and civil society […]

La batterie lithium-ion pourrait occuper une place importante dans la transition énergétique à venir. Elle permettrait notamment d’équiper un nombre important de véhicule électrique. Cependant, son coût élevé et l’empreinte carbone importante liée à sa production diminue sa compétitivité. Afin d’améliorer ces deux aspects, la compagnie Nemaska Lithium propose une technologie novatrice pour produire de […]

Driven by cloud based applications and services, there are substantial worldwide research and commercialization efforts that are being directed toward improving the capacity of intra- and inter-data center networks. Intra-data center networks operate in the O-band (1260-1360 nm) over distances ranging from 0.5 m to 20 km, and inter-data center networks operate in the C-band […]

La région de l’Outaouais possède un fort potentiel de développement dans le secteur de l’économie sociale. Les acteurs du développement en prennent de plus en plus conscience et plusieurs cas de partenariats entre des entreprises d’économie sociale (EÉS) et certaines municipalités de la région ont vu le jour afin de réaliser ce potentiel. Notre recherche […]

Source code is what programmers write as instructions to the computer to execute to complete a desired task. All operating systems and applications on a computer or a mobile device is a runnable version of a compiled source code.

Hemp seed is a super fruit because its bioactive compounds have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial capabilities. Hemp seeds have the potential as a food therapy to reduce inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). In this project, we will collect hemp seeds from 20 hemp cultivars grown in different provinces in Canada. Antioxidant capacities of hemp seeds will […]

Through a pre-post design, I will examine the impact of UL rehabilitation followed by UL rehabilitation combined with BT on arm function. Patients with stroke and spasticity are unique; thus, the effect of BT is specific and it is difficult to compare groups of subjects. Using subjects as their own control is the most suitable […]

A hockey helmet should be capable of protecting the user over the helmet’s intended life span. There is currently little evidence quantifying the changes in the impact attenuation performance of field-used hockey helmets over time. This study will collect a large sample of field-used hockey helmets from the hockey community for impact testing. The sample […]

La production de l’énergie électrique nécessite des actuateurs mécaniques de grande puissance. Au Canada, la puissance mécanique provient principalement des turbines hydrauliques activées par les rivières. Cependant, dans plusieurs pays, elle provient des turbines thermiques qui utilisent de la vapeur générée par des centrales à combustibles fossiles ou nucléaires. En Amérique du Nord, plusieurs de […]

Governments and consumers increasingly are demanding that companies take concrete action to improve environmental stewardship and social justice along their entire supply chain. In developing countries, however, this effort is hampered by lack of knowledge as to what kinds of initiatives yield positive outcomes. This research is a pilot project to develop new insights into […]

Swine production is a major branch of Canadian economy. Bugs, such as bacteria, can kill small piglets or compromise their welfare, and have a major impact in swine industry performance. One well-known dangerous bacterium is Streptococcus suis, which is very difficult to control because lack of effective vaccines. Consequently, antibiotics are overused to fight this […]
