La gestion des sédiments contaminés et des risques qu’ils peuvent poser pour l’environnement est un enjeu important au Canada. Les administrations portuaires doivent couramment draguer et transporter des sédiments contaminés. Ce transfert vers le milieu terrestre complexifie la gestion des sédiments contaminés. Ce projet vise à proposer une approche qui permettra, dans certains cas, d’éliminer […]

Wetlands are important habitats for many plant and animal species, and also provide valuable ecosystem services to society such as improving water quality and releasing groundwater into streams. While wetlands are often protected from development through the land use planning process in Ontario, development and land use change near wetlands can still alter the amount […]

This project develops a new project management method for software development targeting next-generation network providing unprecedented quality of cellular service to Canadians and small and medium businesses, stimulating innovations and improving the quality of life of our people. Relying on the ENCQOR infrastructure, which is the first 5G network in Canada supported by three governments […]

When cities face development pressures and affordability concerns, community spaces—which contribute to the distinct knowledge, meaning, connection and identity of a community—are continuously lost. Community-minded spaces include churches, bike repair shops, makerspaces, coworking or studio spaces, community kitchens and venues. To ensure the preservation and enhancement of these types of spaces, developers can incorporate such […]

Le Club de Soccer de Trois-Rivières (CSTR) est responsable de promouvoir et développer le soccer dans la région de Trois-Rivières. Un enjeu important de cette mission est de continuellement offrir les meilleures conditions d’apprentissage à ses joueurs. Dans les habiletés enseignées par les entraîneurs, la prise de décisions est l’habileté phare qui permet aux joueurs […]

Near the end of every maple syrup harvest season, the syrup can acquire an unpalatable off-flavour called ‘buddy’. Buddy flavor cannot be tasted or detected in the tree sap prior to processing into syrup. This can loss of income, and unnecessary expenditure to produce the syrup that is unpalatable. This work seeks to identify chemical […]

The ultimate goal of this project is to produce stronger and lighter gypsum wallboards through more sustainable production procedure. The wallboard production plant is divided in three sections: upstream where the raw gypsum is received, midstream where the raw gypsum is processed to produce Calcium Sulfate Hemihydrate (stucco), and downstream where the final wallboard product […]

Being certified as sustainable through a third-party organization, such as the Sustainable Forestry Initiative and the Forest Stewardship Council, gives forest products companies and organization a way to demonstrate to consumers that their management practices are ecologically sound. To understand the value of certification programs, it is important to be able to quantify the conservation […]

Uveal melanoma (UM) is the most common primary ocular tumor in adults. UM is treated by removing the eye (enucleation) or by local radiation therapy. Despite effective treatments for the ocular tumors, about 50% of patients develop metastasis, which are frequently lethal. Genetic profiling is used to study the molecular changes that occur and is […]

This Phase I proposal is intended to undertake a requirements-gathering and an initial system design for a system that exploits the integrity guarantees of blockchain technology and the high throughput capability of commercial/open source transactional database management systems (DBMS). Although current approaches will be a part of the solution, innovation is required to allow for […]

The candidate will study multiple configurations of buildings made with steel modular units and analyse their structural performance under seismic loads. This will allow the company Entuitive Corporation to expand their area of operation as well as their client base.

The long term objective of this project is to develop methods of revegetating mine tailings sites (in this case, a very large tailing mound in northern Quebec) using natural vegetation, and without transporting soil long distances. The specific objective of this project over the next year is to (i) conduct field trials to determine the […]
