Le projet vise a ameliorer la connaissance des proprh§tes electriques et thermiques des materiaux composites dans Ie contexte de leur utilisation dans Ie milieu aeronautique. Pour ce faire, il est envisage de soumet!re des echantillons de ces materiaux a des courants electriques, pour en evaluer la distribution dans lesdits echantillons. L’echauffement cause par ces courants […]

How can we describe and value harvesting, processing and sharing (costs as well as benefits) country foods in economic, nutritional, environmental and socio-cultural terms? How can we compare the value of country food with food that comes from other provisioning systems (e.g. imported/market-based foods and local food production)? These are important questions for both communities […]

Les conducteurs aeriens des lignes de transport d’emergie sont des structures tres flexibles et ils sont retenus a chaque pylone a I’aide de pinces de suspension. Sous I’effet du vent, Ie conducteur peut etre excite, en particulier par les vibrations eoliennes modulees par un detachement tourbillonnaire en aval du conducteur. La vibration produit une flexion […]

During the last decade, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) drew the attention to be used as platform for imagery systems for different applications including agriculture applications. Therefore, the proposed research aims to develop the use of UAVs for specific important agriculture applications as weed management. These developments include the use of low-cost imagery sensors for these […]

Heart disease is the main reason of death worldwide. One way to understand better and detect heart diseases without need for biopsy via surgery is by using medical imaging such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Cardiac magnetic resonance is a specific kind of MRI which allows great visualization of inner parts of the heart and […]

Three in five persons with dementia will wander. This statistic however was derived from the USA, and it is unknown as to how this number was generated and what it specifically entails. The collection of Canadian-based data involving missing persons with dementia in Canada is limited. Secours.io’s initiative of collecting missing persons data generated from […]

The proposed research project is aimed at enhancing our understanding of interactions of several biodegradable low molecular weight polymers with the different components of aqueous oil sand suspensions. The work is designed to assess the effect of the polymers on a number of fundamental phenomena that govern several unit operations during oil sands processing and […]

La cohabitation des bâtiments du quartier des spectacles et des technologies d’architecture mouvante de Réalisaitons.net produirait une expérience sans équivoque pour les usagers du Montréalais. La richesse créative et la multitude des objectifs (sociaux, artéritiques, etc.) visés engendrent toutefois des préoccupations au sein de la planification et la réalisation du projet. Notre mandat est donc […]

La simplification de la structure jnterne des peuplements forestiers constitue unenjeu majeur dans la foret mixte et feuillue du Canada . .Plusieurs etudes tentent a demontrer qu’il y a eu une perte de la complexite structurale et donc de la biodiversite dans les peuplements amen ages pour la recolte de la matiere ligneuse. Cette complexite […]

Prenant acte des limites des mécanismes actuels de soutien à l’agriculture dans les régions en voie de dévitalisation, notamment celles de l’Est-du-Québec, la recherche vise à contribuer à la définition d’un cadre d’intervention destiné à soutenir le redéploiement du domaine agricole dans ces milieux. La recherche poursuivra, en la bonifiant, l’orientation prise dans les travaux […]

Although the social, economic, and cultural importance of the arts is generally acknowledged, few studies have collected data on how community members (whether engaged in the arts or not) perceive the value of the arts within their community. This study examines public perceptions of the arts within Saskatchewan’s urban and rural communities. Using a mixed-methods […]

The Safety Labs platform is an ‘always connected’ Internet of Things (IOT) cloud computing based system that focused on aging in place and well being for older adults through ongoing health knowledge. This project will focus on a trial with a population of older adults in the Ottawa region that will trial the system with […]
