La collaboration entre l’Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières et Laferté Bicycles aura pour but de mettre à l’essai en laboratoire du matériel novateur pour l’évaluation fonctionnelle pré-positionnement ainsi que du matériel de prise de mesures lors du positionnement pour appuyer les décisions et avancements. Les données recueillies en laboratoire seront traitées et évaluées afin de […]

Across Canada, there are widespread and growing concerns about the impact of screen time on the wellbeing of families and young children. Yet research on this topic, particularly that which is specific to mobile technologies (e.g., smartphones, iPads), remains in its infancy. The proposed research will involve a detailed survey of screen time in families […]

It is clear that TBI affects a large proportion of survivors of IPV, yet the supports and services provided to this population typically do not take TBI into account. Gaining a better understanding of the barriers and facilitators to TBI knowledge and awareness for staff working in this sector and using this knowledge to inform […]

This research intends to equip the stakeholders with better understanding of the successful applications of revenue sharing mechanisms at national and local levels in resource-rich countries. The work will identify the “new norms” of the industry and government in resource revenue sharing arrangements and provide a description of the model approach on resource revenue sharing […]

Throughout much of North America moose populations are in decline and Manitoba is no exception. This project will determine what factors promoting occupancy and abundance at local and regional scales in Manitoba; and subsequently identify the most efficient way to monitor moose populations in relation to local and regional factors, such as hydroelectric power transmission […]

The research aims to develop techniques for the colonization of seashores by the economically important red seaweed, Palmaria palmata, commonly known as Dulse. The project is a direct collaboration between a local industry leader, Fundy Dulse, and Dr. David Garbary of St. Francis Xavier University. A major problem facing the Dulse industry is the limited […]

This research project aims to develop data analytic technologies to achieve the smart waste and recycling management services. In the smart waste management, the information about container fill levels is captured by the sensors through the Internet of Things (IoT) in real time. A more efficient dynamic routing strategy will be developed through this research […]

The “CLiC” microscopy technique was invented and developed by Prof. Sabrina Leslie and her lab at McGill. It is ideal for formatting and visualizing single molecules, like DNA and proteins, with advantages that overcome the limitations of other single-molecule techniques. Due to the increasing interest in the technique from academic and industrial researchers, Prof. Leslie […]

NanoDendrix™ is a completely natural form of glycogen, sourced and produced from plants by a patented green process developed in Guelph, Ontario. Recent studies have revealed many valuable properties and performance characteristics of NanoDendrix, such as its antimicrobial effects, which have wide-ranging implications for clinical use. The proposed internship will evaluate NanoDendrix for use in […]

One in every five people will develop liver disease in their lifetime. Few people think about liver disease until the disease has progressed and has permanently damaged the liver. Fatty liver disease falls into this category with obesity as the most common cause. Given more than 50% of Canadians are overweight and 75% of obese […]

Accurately estimating permeability is critical for being able to properly predict fluid flow in an oil reservoir. Typical approaches, such as estimating permeability using well production data or in the lab using core samples are impractical or expensive in the Alberta Oil Sands. An alternative approach is to infer permeability from particle size distribution that […]

Cerebral Palsy(CP) is a brain developmental disorder and a major cause of chronic childhood disability. It affects about 2 to 2.5 children per 1000 live births. Children with CP have varying symptoms affecting communication, health and specially mobility depending on the severity of the disorder. Children with severe CP usually have very limited mobility and […]
